Hello, I’m wondering if I need a breast lift. Also if I should do one with implants, or if implants alone can give me the look I want. I’d like larger lifted breasts but I don’t want them to look or feel like I have implants, is this possible?
Answer: Mini lift with fat transfers or small implants The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Implants alone can give you the look you want I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Breast augmentation/lift Based on your photos you most likely won’t need a lift just an augmentation using implants in a dual plane. Just have in mind that large breast will make you appear thicker and you already have a protruding abdomen and possibly candidate for a Tummy Tuck and muscle repair in order to make your abdomen flatter and a super nice smaller waist. Also big implants will have the tendency to create saggy breast earlier. Be encouraged!! Dr. Cárdenas

Answer: Breast lift Dear Alicat812, my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.
