I would like implants to increase the size of my breast and to make my breasts appear closer together. I want a large but natural shape with a medium profile. Do I need a lift ?
Answer: Lift To make your areolae to be at the same location, you would need a lift on at least the lower side. Even with implants and possibly a fat transfer, your breast will still be somewhat fat apart. We cannot move the bases of your breasts. wider implants and possibly fat can help fill in the gap.

Answer: Increase size and make breasts appear closer together Implants provide volume but not much lift. The amount of sagging you have is very mild and most patients would choose implants and forego the lift. If the sagging truly bothers you to the point where you would prefer a lift, one of the limited procedures should suffice. With these procedures, the cleavage would be improved but your anatomy would not allow great cleavage. The cleavage can be further improved with fat grafting if this is an important issue.

Answer: Bellesoma Method If you undergo breast augmentation alone, the implants have to be centered underneath the existing breasts and will result in wide separation, poor cleavage and lateral displacement. The technique I recommend is a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.
