I have been interested in a BA for years, but in a recent consultation, I was told that I may need a breast lift instead and then implants- a total of 12,000- which is way out of my budget and just ridiculous in my opinion. I want my breast to sit high, perk enough that I don’t “need” a bra when I wear a deep cut shirt. My question is, will my breasts appear to sit higher with BA/implants alone or do I really need a BL to achieve that look? I’m 27 with no children.
Answer: Breast Augmentation and Mastopexy Judging by your photos, you definitely would need a lift and to have a larger fuller look, implants as well.Implants alone would not work well and in fact if you were to see us, I would not be willing to place implants alone without a mastopexy (lift). Some patients that are borderline you can perhaps get away with placing implants only and still have a very nice result, but in your case the most important aspect of improving the look of your breasts is to have a lift performed as well as implants placed. Both procedures can be done at the same time and do not need to be staged.Go see a board certified plastic surgeon to be evaluated and see what your options are. It is also important when you are looking for before and after photos to look at those patients who have had a breast lift performed with implants, not just implants aloneHope that helps.

Answer: Breast lift recommended It looks like your nipples are pointing downward and are located below your breast fold, so a breast lift is recommended. Implants wouldn’t be necessary unless you want to get the significantly rounder, “bolted on" breast shape that is in your wish pic.

Answer: Breast lift You would benefit most from a breast lift. You could combine it with breast implants (small implants) if you wanted more volume/size. However to just have a breast augmentation would not give you the look you are seeking. If you are unsure, you should seek out a second opinion or even a third. I realize most patients want the easiest, low cost solution but in your specific case, you would need a breast lift to reach your goal.Best wishes,Dr. Bruno

Answer: Will I need a breast lift? Although $12k may sound expensive, the combined breast augmentation/lift is a complicated procedure and far more complex than an augmentation alone. From the photos you provided, I would also say that you will need a breast lift if you want significant perkiness with your surgery.If you avoid a lift and go with an augmentation alone, you will be able to increase the volume of your breasts but because the nipple position is low to begin with your breasts will most likely not be very perky as you desire.I hope that helps and wish you the very best!Warmest regards,-Gregory A Buford MD FACS PCEOBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author
