Do i need breast implants?
Breast surgery is a balance between surface area and volume. You have lost considerable volume from weight loss. To reestablish a pleasant breast shape without incisions of breast lift would require a very large implant.
The incisions of breast lift help you share the goal of shapeliness between increased volume and decreased surface area. I would recommend breast lift. About your bf? Maybe you need surgery on him. (John Cassel, MD, Dallas Plastic Surgeon)
Info on Breast Lift scars
Not all breast lifts leave a lot of scars. The link below gives you information on a range of different scars from a “Crescent” breast lift to a full “Inverted T” scar.

As for the “perkiness of” fake breasts, the issue is fullness on the upper pole of the breast and that usually benefits from an implant (Ricardo L. Rodriguez, MD, Baltimore Plastic Surgeon)
A lift will lift your breasts. Implants will only make them larger and they will probably still sag. (Steven Wallach, MD, Manhattan Plastic Surgeon)
The opinion as to whether you “should have any work done,” can only by answered by you.

It is not your boyfriends, husband, or significant others decision. If there is a desire by yourself to have something improved upon then become informed as to the procedures that are available to you and the risks, benefits and alternatives to each procedure. Then you can make an informed decision as to how to proceed. I personally do not operate on anyone that “isn’t sure” if they want something done, or a patient that desires the procedure because someone else is forcing them to have it. Just become informed see a board certified plastic surgeon and good luck. (Ernesto Hayn, MD, West Palm Beach Plastic Surgeon)
The accompanying photos picture large sagging breasts. Mini reduction and lift would be my approach. That is simplistic. Size, sagging and the aversion to scarring make for a complexity which necessitates the hands on exam by a board certified plastic surgeon.

Following such exam would be an interactive discussion which would outline options. Then an only then should you make a decision regarding your breasts. (James R. Benjamin, MD, Miami Plastic Surgeon)
If you don’t want a totally honest and blunt answer, stop right here, because you won’t like what you read, and your bf will hate me anyway. First, any doctor worth his salt, will have one concern, and that will be you his patient.
Your boyfriend has no standing in this-legal, moral, ethical, or any other way I can think of from the medical point of view. Of course, he is important to you- right now, anyway.

But you and only you are the patient. If you were married, or perhaps engaged, a doctor would listen to his perspective, but it is what you want that counts, not he wants. In fact, it would be an ethical problem for the doctor who is presented with a patient who wishes to undergo surgery of the breast or other body area just to please the partner. Similarly, it is problematic (to me) when a patient would consider doing the “wrong” operation to appease her partner. This isn’t really why you asked the question but, a lot of what really goes on with plastic surgery is psychological.

What really goes on is trying to determine what will help to achieve the patient’s goals. A good surgeon doesn’t want to go through surgery, get a wonderful outcome, only to have the patient unhappy just because he didn’t understand the real subtext. At 23 this may not be your forever partner. Your body will change. Anyway, your partner should be selfless (not selfish), and love you enough for you to be happy, and love you with or without scars. Think about that.
Now about the surgery. You have what I can see from the pics grade c ptosis (you would need a lift). At your age, and from the size of your breasts, you have plenty of breast tissue, so if you don’t mind being a bit smaller, you can likely get by without an implant. However, you like the fake look, so an implant will give you the upper pole fullness and the fake look, as well as preserve the size, or can get you bigger breasts.
If you do not do the lift at the same time, you will not have an acceptable look – my prediction. Given what you said, your “current” bf, will not be happy with surgical options that will lead to a pleasing result, so you need to make a decision on this. Regarding the future. My crystal ball is broken today, but there is a good chance that you will need some form of revision in the future (Scott E. Kasden, MD, Boston Plastic Surgeon)
