Can I get new implants over the muscle and skip a lift? (Photo)

Dear Dazzling551757,
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.

Thank you for your question. A large portion my practice is dedicated to revision breast surgery. I have a whole gallery of patients with long-term changes associated with implants on top of the muscle. The larger the implant you choose, the more your skin will stretch and your breast will be even more droopy. The best procedure for you is to have implants placed under the muscle and perform a breast lift. With your light skin, the scar should fade and be barely noticeable. Best wishes to you.
