I lost about 25 pounds so I have lost definition in my breasts. I was looking to get a breast augmentation and at my recent consultation, the Dr. told me I needed a breast lift. I believe I have pseudoptosis, but I’m not sure if it’s actually true ptosis. Will I get good results without a lift? Will the lift be necessary for me?

Answer: I have pseudoptosis question All woman have some breast asymmetry and your right breast has a bit more skin excess on the lower area of the breast and the nipple is slightly lower. Depending on the implant chosen a mastopexy (lollipop) scar may be best. Just implants will often magnify your asymmetry leading to the need for revision surgery. It is scary to think about the scars but at the same time a poor cosmetic outcome IMHO is worse then scars in most all cases I see. Hope this helps. Good Luck!

Answer: Lift may not be necessary Your nipples appear to be above your breast fold, therefore a lift may not be necessary. However, your surgeon has more details about your situation, and they may have based their opinion on those details. Please note that the larger the implants the heavier they are, and this may accelerate sagging. Therefore, it might be a good idea to choose implants that are proportionately sized rather than going too large.
