Breast implants after explant - is it possible for me to get smaller, under muscle, implants without a lift?(photos)

Dear saguilar148,
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.

Measurements are needed to be sure, but I think you can follow your plan and avoid the lift. The 350 cc size will fit your frame and tissue much better.
