I am 24 years old, 138 pounds and 5'3. I am looking to get a breast lift as I have had saggy breasts since I was a teenager. I have been looking through this sight for months but am not super happy with the lift only pictures I am seeing. Is it possible to get a lift and have upper pole fullness without implants? Is fat grafting an option to improve the upper pole?

Answer: Fat Grafting the Upper Poles Hello,A breast lift and fat grafting to upper poles would be an excellent way of optimizing your result. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons that specialize in breast surgery.

Answer: Breast lift (mastopexy) and upper pole fullness without breast augmentation? I am in agreement with the other providers that breast lift (or mastopexy) alone does not create upper pole fullness. I believe that upper pole fullness can be done best with an implant. But patients should understand that by placing an implant, their breasts will be bigger and they may go up in cup size. Breast implants are also not" forever" devices and may need further replacement surgery in the future. So if a patient has adequate breast tissue it may be best to do the mastopexy first, then wait 6 months to see if they want more volume. Your board certified plastic surgeon can help you with this decision. Best of luck to you and have a great weekend.
