Im 29 years, around 135lbs. 5’6. I want a fuller look with my breast but I really don’t want to get a breast lift. I dont like the scarring that comes with it. I want to know if it possible for me to get breast implants without needing a lift. Do my breast need a lift?
Answer: Breast lift Dear Inventive962298, determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Answer: Yes, is is possible Based on your photos, yes it is possible for you to have breast implants without a lift. In person examination would be the best way to determine this with more certainty. There are specialized techniques that can help improve the shape of the breast with just an augmentation in patients who are kind of borderline for needing a lift.

Answer: Breast Implants / lift You need a breast lift to get the breast into the correct dimensions to accomodate a potential implant that would provide fullness. Be very cautious of someone trying to place very large implants in instead of trying to select the appropriate size implant that would be performed at the time of your lift. You should see someone who specializes in revisionary breast aesthetic surgery and truly understands breast surgery very well. Best of luck.

Answer: Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation? Thank you for sharing your pictures. Your body, your goals, and your expectation. A breast lift is recommended but not mandatory; it depends on what you want to see. If you want a bigger breast, breast implants are the way to go. You will have more fullness towards the bottom of the breast. If you want perky breasts, then a lift will be recommended. It really depends on what your goals are. There are different types of breast lifts that exist that will not leave you with extensive scars. Having a consultation with your board-certified plastic surgeon will help you decide on what is the best approach for you.

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, if interested. 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.
