Want larger & fuller breasts - can I get away with not doing a lift? (Photos)

Thanks for your question. From these pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a breast augmentation and lift. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

3D imaging & simulation software may help you come to a decision alongside your surgeon. It is difficult to make that assessment based on photographs alone, but in patients with a breast shape similar to yours, I would ordinarily suggest that altering the skin envelope (with a combination of a nipple-areolar reduction and a lift) would be beneficial to the outcome. This will always be a trade off between what you are trying to achieve and scarring, but scarring from breast uplift procedures usually heal well and are not particularly noticeable once the scarring has matured at 12-18 months.
If you did wish to avoid scars associated with a breast uplift procedure, but boost your volume, you may get a more natural outcome with fat transfer (rather than a breast implant), but this may require more than one session to achieve the volume that you are aiming for.

Thanks for your question!
To achieve a look that you will be happy with, you will need a lift along with implants. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. Best wishes!
