I am young and do not have children, but have gone up and down in weight a lot throughout the years, leading to breast ptosis. I do not want breast lift scars. :( I love the look of HP, and have seen it look great on other women who have sagging. Does it look like I would be an okay candidate for this? Right now I am 34 B/C, 125 lbs, 5'7.
Answer: Breast implants and lifts unfortunely, you really do require a lift as well as an implant. Your breasts are simply too far down. You will easily be able to find someone to just insert an implant, but in the case your breasts simply will never be right.

Answer: Breast implants without breast lift Thank you for your question and pictures. I understand your concern about additional breast scars with a lift but I feel that you may not be happy with augmentation alone. Your areolas are wide and your nipple position is too low and this will only be accentuated with augmentation without a breast lift. I would recommend that you pick a board certified plastic surgeon for a consultation and ask to look at before and after pictures of augmentation/mastopexies.

Answer: I think you will probably need a lift Caligirl: It's hard to say with certainty based on a few static pictures on the internet and of course an in person exam would be required to give my definite opinion but my best guess based on what I see is that a breast lift will be required, particularly on the lower breast. Many women object to the scars associated with a breast lift, especially before child bearing and I don't blame them but something I learned early on in my practice is that if a patient needs a lift along with implants, do the lift. Or don't perform the surgery at all. My fear is that you will not obtain an aesthetically acceptable result without a lift and you will require a second surgery at greater cost and will wind up with the scars in the end anyway. Hope this helps.Best of luck to you!G. Robert Meger MD

Answer: Breast Augmentation - Need a lift? Thank you for your question and photos. It looks like a lift will be required in addition to placement of breast implants. I do not think you will achieve a satisfactory result with either augmentation or a lift alone. It is best to have an in-person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who specializes in cosmetic breast surgery. Ask to see a lot of before and after photos of their work. Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer: Can I get a HP implant without a lift Thank you for your question and photos. Based on the photos you submitted your right breast is saggier than the left (probably Grade 2 ptosis on the right and grade 1 on the left). You can probably get away with a just an aug on the left but may end up with a "double bubble " deformity on the right. If this occurs you will need to get a lift to correct the right side. Please see an experienced Board certified Plastic Surgeon to discuss your options. Good luck. DrMaz
