I'm a 47 year-old with two children, 5'6" and 130 lbs, athletic build 34 B. My breasts have relatively good nipple position, but they are deflated. My objective is to look natural for my age (b/c cup) and gain volume in the upper poles. I have had conflicting advice on whether I require a lift or not. One surgeon told me a simple implant should be fine another suggested a lift, or to try an implant and if I wasn't happy to go back an do a lift. I would love to avoid the vertical scar.

Answer: Breast lift Thank you for your question. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to breast revision and breast lifting. Not only are your breasts deflated, they do sit low on your chest. Whether you need a lift or not is predicated on your anatomy. In your case, you definitely will need a breast lift. If you perform just a breast augmentation, you will fill up your skin envelope, however your breasts will sit very low on your chest and will have an unattractive aesthetic appearance. That is almost a guarantee. This is one of the most common revisions that I do see from short sided surgeons who are willing to place implants with a wait and see attitude. I would strongly recommend a breast lift with lollipop lift. Best wishes to you.
