Do I need a lift? (Photo)

1. Your implants are rather large for your chest and have contributed to stretching out the skin below your nipple.

2. The look you desire is not realistic without a push up bra. If someone has very tight skin before surgery, that look can sometimes be achieved, but you said you were deflated before surgery.

3. Sometimes the capsule can be tightened to move the implant up and in, but if you look at where your nipple is when you do that, it’s clear you would need a lift to get the look you want.

4. That said, no lift stays as high as your hands can push to due gravity and natural tissue stretch over time. My advice is to wait until after you have kids to have a lift unless you’re truly miserable.

5. I know they’re not what you want, but they still look great!

Your implants are too large and heavy for your tissue. You would do much better with smaller implants. Since your tissue has been stretched, you may need mesh for support. However, if you plan to have children, wear good supporting bras for now. Wait until you have had all the children you want and then consider a revision.

Hello my fellow Virginia Beach person! I believe that your implants may have been too large and too aggressive of a profile; this would be more easy to determine with an in-person physical exam. In addition, high profile implants project far too much to produce a more natural breast shape. Essentially, high profile implants were created for breast cancer reconstruction; they have a large amount of projection for a very narrow given breast base width. I would recommend adding Galaflex (internal bra) and performing an "inferior mastopexy" to shorten the nipple-to-fold distance on both breasts. This will help provide long term support and set an appropriate distance for the breast.
