Hi, I am only 22 years old but feel like I am on the saggier side of things.. I want to know if it would be appropriate to seek a lift or augmentation or what you would recommend.

Answer: Breast evaluation You appear to have breast ptosis. This can be corrected with a breast lift. If you also want your breasts to be larger, using an implant can be considered. The degree of ptosis that you have, especially in your left breast is such that it will not be correctable with implants only.

Answer: BA or breast lift Dear ashley20122, 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.
