Answer: Breast Augmentation with Breast Ptosis In addition to previous comments, you should carefully consider delaying any surgery until once you are done having children. A great result from a breast lift (or augmentation) may be unravelled by the temporary breast enlargement you would experience with another pregnancy/lactation.

Answer: Breast lift with implants Hello and thank you for your question. The best advice you can receive is from an in-person consultation. With that being said, based on your photographs, the best shape and contour could be achieved with an implant and a breast lift. Your nipple sits below the inframammary fold and without a lift in addition to the implant, this will not have a natural shape. A breast lift with an implant can result in a very nice shape if good technique is used. The size, profile, and shape of the implant is based on your desired breast size/shape, your chest wall measurements, and soft tissue quality. This decision should be based on a detailed discussion with equal input from both you and your surgeon. Your surgery should be performed under general anesthesia with a board-certified MD anesthesiologist administering anesthesia. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person.
