I want a lot of lift with very small breasts and no implants. I am not willing to consider implants, but I want my nipple higher from my inframammary fold than is typical in a breast lift. They're too lax and small to be conservative with a lift, I feel. I included regular photos and photos where I've taped my breasts to show what kind of result I'm looking to get. Is this realistic to expect after surgery? If not, why?

Answer: Nipple position after a breast lift should usually be above the fold
This is a great question and you have done a masterful job of trying to show your desired outcome. From what I can tell, your "after" photo is quite reasonable. How the breast attaches to your chest wall is stable and hard to change, but how your breast falls over the fold is not. During a mastopexy (breast lift), your breast volume is "repackaged" with the goal of a firmer, less overhanging gland and with the nipple/areola proportional in size and centrally located on the new mound. There is no reason for a breast implant if the size of your breasts is acceptable to you. A consultation should answer any other questions that you might have.

Answer: Breast Lifting
Based on your pictures your desires should be very achievable with a full mastopexy or breast lift. Of course, no one specific result can ever be guaranteed and while unlikely, based on your youth and small breast size, complications can occur which may also compromise your result. Make sure you seek out the attention of an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.
