I went to my first consultation for a breast augmentation yesterday and was told I would need a lift as well because of my current shape. I am 5’2, about 115 lbs, and wear a 32A. I always thought lifts were for older women or larger breasts, so it caught me off guard to be told I needed one for the results I want. Is a lift something I need to have favorable results?

Answer: Do I need a lift to have favorable results with my current shape? Hello, Thank you for the question. Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for subglandular (above the muscle) breast augmentation which can help correct slightly lower nipple position on you and give your a fuller cleavage. Implant size discussion and implant selection is one of the most important steps during your consultation with plastic surgeon. The decision-making process depends on patient’s desires, as well as breast and soft tissue dimensions. I also utilize Vectra 3D planning to further help with implant selection. I would encourage you to seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations. I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz Dr. Irena KaranetzBreast Fellowship-TrainedBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Answer Breast lifts depend on individualized breast measurements. There is no specific date or age when a patient would consider getting a breast lift or not. Based on the photo provided, it is likely that a lift with implants would provide the ideal combination to restore a harmonious breast shape. The best thing for you to do is to seek a consultation with a board-eligible or board-certified plastic surgeon.
