Hoping to achieve a natural result - should I consider a breast lift? (photos)

If you like the natural look, then just an augmentation will work. If you want the higher look, you will need a lift. Long term, you will do better with a lift.

Dear Sensible2407,

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.

Hi, according to your pictures, we can surely say that you don’t have actual ptozis, you have glandular ptozis which can be treated by implants perfectly. The scar will place underneath your breast and won’t be visible from the front.
