I’ve had a consultation and was told I’m bordering to needing a breast lift alone with implants, however he’d be happy to go with out the lift using 375cc over muscle high profile implants. Would you recommend going for the lift since being told I’m borderline to it I’m getting worried about the outcome.

Answer: A Breast Augmentation Without the Lift Can Have GREAT results! It is very common for women to want breast lifting when they get a breast augmentation. At the end of the day, an implant just pushes out what you naturally already have there. I tell all my patients that there's a 100% chance of asymmetry after any breast surgery with or without a lift. Of course, the goal is to try to make you as equal as possible but everyone has asymmetries of the ribs, the muscles etc. It's very important to understand this as you, like all women, have some breast asymmetry that would be pointed out on examination and before any surgery. When women have excess breast skin, an implant can take up some of this excess skin. So, depending what implant size you're interested in being, there's a good chance that in your case a breast augmentation will have good results without any additional breast lift scarring. As a final thought, if you pick the infraareolar scar as your choice for breast implants, usually we can do a mini breast lift at the same time and I usually don't charge people for this. Of course a full areolar breast lift or short scar breast lift is different and does involve more scars and more costs. Aging and even pregnancy are definitely hard on the breast areas and this is a comment complaint among women visiting my office. For some women that aren't quite sure, it is okay to do just the breast implant and if they desire more lifting afterwards, you can usually do that in the office as a separate procedure under local anesthesia and leave the implant alone and just remove some of the excess breast skin.I would recommend that you see a board-certified plastic surgeon in your area that is a member of both ASPS & ASAPS and performs a lot of breast implants. Good luck with your future surgery!I hope this helps answer your question. If it does, please take a moment to up vote this answer on the “respond” button on the top right.

Answer: Augmentation without a Breast Lift I expect you will have good results without a lift. Based on your photos and suggested implant size, I think a lift is unnecessary.
