Borderline lift - will I have good results without one? (Photos)

L
LeebeetxOct 1, 2025

I have had an online consultation with my plastic surgeon and set a surgery date. I know I am borderline needing a lift, but he assured me that implants alone would give me the look I’m after. Am I making a mistake by avoiding the lift? 5’7; 120 pounds; breastfed 3 kids
