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?

Your photos are upside down, but it does appear that your heavy implants are sagging and causing some bottoming out because of the weight. Please wear a good supporting bra.
Hello, for my patients I do not require prolong use of surgical bra nor do I ask them to avoid sleeping on their side. I do not believe the implant, nor the implant pocket would be harmed by side sleeping once complete healing has occurred.
For your first procedure, you chose implants that wear way too heavy for your tissue and frame. If you choose implants more appropriate for your frame and place then behind the muscle, you should get nice upper breast fullness. An examination is needed to see if mesh would be advisable.
