How would a crescent lift with saline implants look? (Photos)

Hello and thank you for your question.  The
best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation.  With that
being said, based on your photographs, the best shape and contour could be
achieved with an implant and a wise pattern breast lift.  I do not ever
recommend a crescent lift.  Over time, the areola tends to enlarge with a
thickened scar.  The other even worse problem is that it flattens out the
shape of the anterior breast over time.  A wise pattern lift with an
implant can result in a very nice shape if good technique is
used.    The size of the implant is based on your desired
breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue
quality.  This decision should be based on a detailed discussion
with equal input from both you and your surgeon.   Make
sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients
who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their
results.   The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are
comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified
board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
Best wishes and good luck.

Thanks for your question and the photos. Implants will restore fullness to the upper portion of the breast and make you larger, but they may not elevate enough skin for a crescent lift to be effective. It is certainly ok to start this way as long as you have realistic expectations. If you feel too droopy afterwards larger lifts can always be added later.Best wishes.
