Breast lift options - how can I avoid scars? (Photos)

Implants provide volume but very little lift. The only way to substantially improve the sagging to your breasts is with a lift. If you had a desire to increase your volume, you could add implants with the lift, but not in place of the lift.

Your best outcome would come from a breast lift but that requires scars around the areaola, straight down, and under the fold of the breast in a short anchor pattern. Minimal scar options would be fat transfer to the breast. That would result in a fuller version of the current you…no lift, just fuller on top. An implant would require a small incision and it would provide fullness in the upper part of the breasts but no lift. I recommend you highly consider a lift.

Thanks for your question! Unfortunately, a breast lift is the only option to get your breasts perkier and looking closer to your wish pic. I would also suggest an implant for upper pole fullness. Good luck!

I recommend a breast lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained.

Thank you for your photos. You have a grade 2 ptosis. This is defined as most of the breast tissue and the nipple/areola complex sitting below the level of the fold that is underneath your breast. The correct position of the nipple/areola complex is above the level of the fold and the only way to achieve that is with a breast lift. Meticulous attention to detail and suturing technique should leave you with nearly in perceptible incision lines. This is the most predictable way to achieve what you were looking for. Discuss this in detail with your plastic surgeon and asked to see before and after photographs so you understand your potential outcomes. Best wishes.
