5’2”, 113 lbs., 38 years old, 1 child breastfed 3 years ago for six months. Wanting large implants. My “goal breasts” are generally sagging; I don’t want a perky look, but of course I also don’t want deformed breasts (something like “double boob”). 1. Am I a candidate for an augmentation alone, with my asymmetry and ptosis? 2. What deforming issues might happen with augmentation alone? 3. Is there harm in performing an augmentation first and a lift later?
Answer: Breast Augmentation vs Breast Augmentaion with Lift Hello, I would recommend getting a lift with the implants. You have loss of volume to the top of the beasts and if opted for only placing an implant you may have the implant and then hanging tissue and skin below the implant. You will still be able to achieve a natural look with augmentation and lift.

Answer: In person evaluation is needed I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, if interested. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Candidate You are a candidate for a breast implant with a lift. This is your best option. I would not recommend performing an implant without a lift in this scenario.

Answer: Surgery No, you need a lift. You have minimal upper breast tissue and the implants should be placed behind the muscle for coverage and best upper breast fullness. Your own breast tissue is sagging and will need to be lifting to avoid having "4 boobs." If you just have implants, you will have larger and still sagging breasts and no upper breast fullness.

Answer: Can I get a breast augmentation without a lift? For sure you would need a lift with an implant, but the nice thing is a lift already produces a more natural appearance to the breast so you likely can still achieve your goals with a lift and an implant.
