Due to considerable weight loss, I have been left with asymmetric breasts, one of which (the larger of the two) requires a mastopexy. I have consulted with several plastic surgeons and have received widely varying perspectives, ranging from the vertical lift (lollypop incision) to the crescent incision, on what approach is best. Being that the point of the operation (which will be accompanied by a breast augmentation) is to attain symmetry, what approach is the most effective?
In my opinion a crescent "lift" after weight loss will accomplish nothing other than giving you a scar. In general, the more skin you have to remove (and the lower the breast hands), the more you need an anchor mastopexy. A lollipop mastopexy can help those with moderate droop but it is more difficult to achieve a good result in severe droop.
I'm a 5'4, 140lbs 30 year old AA female w/no kids. Due to loosing weight my breast has lost elasticity & are large plus heavy (34DD), which have caused extreme neck, shoulder,& back pain. Ive gone to a chiropractor, massage therapist,& primary physician to receive help i.e. meds but cant find relief. I did consult w/a local plastic surgeon but was told I didn't qualify for a breast reduction but a breast lift. My insurance won't cover cost due my breast mass not being lrg enough. Please help!
I agree with Dr. Rand and Dr. Sattler both. I would recommend a small reduction and a lift at the same time. Insurance requirements vary, but I am not surprised you don't qualify as they reserve coverage for massive breasts. Regardless, if you pursue this as a cosmetic procedure I think you would be able to achieve your goals.
I have 34dd-34ddd breasts (natural), I have do not have children and have always slept with a bra. However, at 34 they are not as perky as I would like. Perhaps it is less of an issue of sagging and more of an issue of shape and the areola getting lower and on its way down. My question is does the Benelli lift work for large breast that still have volume with mild to moderate sagging and can a lift now ward off a more serious lift or sagging later?
Neurally large breasts like yours are more subject to the forces of gravity and pregnancy. Even without pregnancy a DD-DDD breast will be more prone to sagging. My answer would be that a Benelli lift would be of no benefit in a breast like yours. I am not sure that there is a procedure I would recommend at all.
