Q: What does the raising the fold in breast lift mean?
A:
The inframammary fold sets the level of the breast and determines to a large extent the appearance of the breast and the relative position of the nipple. A low fold can make a nipple look too high and a high fold make a nipple look too low. Some procedures are designed to change the position of the fold and some do that as a by-product.
