Will implants only help fill out upper breast? (Photo)

Implants are placed behind your breasts and will enlarge the whole breast. Placing the implants behind the muscle will give more upper breast fullness which is nice.

Yes implants can be used to add upper pole fullness. Your surgeon can recommend various profile options to help you achieve the look you are wanting. A lift may be recommended to address symmetry and shape. See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.

Dear amber232,
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.
