Just augmentation or do I need a lift? (Photo)

Hi, for your right breast augmentation will do the job. But on your left side augmentation and donut lift needed. Before you decide to get this surgery you should be aware that complete symmetry is not possible. Of course you’ll have much more symmetrical breasts but not the exact same, which is the only natural.

Dear Nvahsisn,

determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.
