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: Breast lift A lift may be suitable for anyone who is experiencing sagging. Sagging can be caused by a variety of factors, and this doesn’t just have to be for women who are older or have had kids. Weight fluctuations and genetics may also cause sagging. While a side photo may help, from the front your nipples do appear to be located below your breast fold, which is why a lift is recommended. This is because the implants need to be centred behind your nipples, so they’d sit rather low on your chest if you weren’t to have a lift.

Answer: Depends on your goals If you desire a smaller athletic breast shape with a small implant placed, it is likely that a lift would be required to place your nipple in the appropriate location on the breast. A slightly larger implant could lift your nipple a little more. This may give you the results are looking for if you want your breast to be slightly larger. Depending on your goals, ellipse is a safe procedure that when combined with breast augmentation can help you achieve her result is very close to what you desire

Answer: Need a lift for best symmetry Would need a lateral (side) view to show the true position of the nipple, but you will likely need a lift on both breasts for the best symmetry. The left breast would need a lift to have an acceptable result with implants, which will give characteristic scars of a breast lift. In order to achieve symmetry I would typically recommend performing the same procedure on the right breast even if the nipple lift is only minimal.

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.
