I have surgery booked on June 15th with a surgeon in Australia for breast implants. Initially, I only wanted to the implants, but he's recommended that I need a breast lift as well. But I don't like the look of the scarring from the bresa ift. Also, I haven't had kids and will not have them, so I was surprised that he recommended I need the breast lift as well. Is there a surgeon who could give me their second opinion re if the breast lift is necessary?
Answer: Breast Lift with Implants Hello! Thank you for sharing your doubts with us. In your case I recommend a breast lift with implants to give your breasts more projection, and reposition of the areola.

Answer: Lift and augmentation Breast perkiness can be affected by weight fluctuations, aging and other factors that may not be related to pregnancy. Your nipples are located just below your breast fold, so a lift may be recommended. Without one, your implants may sit a bit too low on your chest.

Answer: Bellesoma Method Your breasts are too low on the chest wall. If you undergo augmentation alone, the inframammary fold will be released and the breasts will bottom out and look even lower in the future. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed if additional volume is desired.

Answer: Do I need a lift? From your photos it appears you are borderline needing a lift. If you would like a perkier look then you will need to consider a lift. This will raise the position of your nipple and remove excess skin. If you are simply wanting more volume and don't mind your breasts being lower on the chest wall you may be able to have augmentation alone.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. 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. They then get to choose what looks right for them. 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.
