Grade 1 ptosis. Do I need a lift? Saline or silicone? (Photo)

February 4, 2018
Asked By:esa05 in San Bernardino, CA

I am very interested in getting a breast augmentation, however I’m afraid I may also need a breast lift. I have done a little research and come to the conclusion that I am a grade 1 ptosis. Although i have spoken to a few surgeons (3) and none said I would need a lift, I am still a little skeptical because I am really hoping for that perfect, dramatic, no bra, breast look. I also have come to believe saline implants would give me this look more than silicone could. Any help would be appreciated!
