Do I need a lift? Or can I just get a breast augmentation without a lift? (Photo)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a great candidate for breast augmentation without the need for a lift. The size, projection and profile of the implant is typically a decision made together with your plastic surgeon who will examine you, take measurements and give you some options that best match your body. I hope this helps.

Hello. Thanks for posting your query. Looking at the pics implant alone will suffice and lift is not needed. Placing the implant in dual plane pocket will give better results and shape to the breast. Hope I have cleared your doubt. All the best

Based on the photographs you have provided, I would not recommend a lift. The pictures are a little limited so we would need to do a more complete exam to determine for sure.

Thanks for question! You do not need a breast lift and would have a lovely result with just an implant. Seek an in-person opinion for an optimal result. Good luck!

Hello @Onaquesttofixthebutt thank your for your question and showing your pictures. Whenever we look at breast characteristics we look for a centered position, where the projection of the breast is medial, where the projection of the upper part of the breast with respect to the lower part is equidistant and also that the characteristics of the volume are in accordance with the proportion of the body shape, you do not need a lift from what I can see in your pictures, a breast augmentation would be suitable. However having a board-certified plastic surgeon evaluate your case will help determine what you need taking into account patient desire look, characteristics and needs. Best wishes!!

The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.

Thank you for your question. It is best to be seen in person, but based on the photos alone it appears you would be a candidate for a breast augmentation alone, no need for a lift. I would consult with a plastic surgeon in person so they may best assess you and discuss your surgical goals with you. Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Based on the limited views it does not appear that you would need a lift, an augmentation alone should provide a nice outcome.

You have very little sag to your breast. An implant around the size you mention will fill out the tissue enough that a lift isn’t needed.

Thank you for your question and posting appropriate pictures. You seem to be a good candidate for Breast Augmentation surgery. You most likely won’t need a formal lift and may be able to take advantage of an internal breast lift without external scars. It is best to have a consultation and undergo 3D imaging to visualize your outcome.
