Can You Do a Breast Lift from the Arm Pit?
A breast lift requires incisions on the breast. The most minimal is a circumareolar lift, next adding a vertical or "lollipop" scar and finally an "inverted T" scar including a portion along the crease beneath the breast.
None of these procedures can be accomplished through an axillary ("arm pit") approach.
Hello: I had a primary breast augmentation in July - 500cc smooth silicone under the muscle through the areola. Developed capsular contracture in my left breast and my right has dropped below the point where I liked it. I am also attaching a picture from before anything was done to me. I want both my breasts to look like my right did at 2 months after the surgery (refer to picture). Any way to achieve that without doing a lift? Why did the right drop so much if it wasn't droopy before? Thanks!
It appears that you had a satisfactory early result at 2 months. Unfortunately, capsular contracture can happen early or late and be bilateral or one side only. It looks like the encapsulation on your left side has kept your breast "up" while the right has drooped a bit. Some drooping is inevitable with larger implants depending on your skin elasticity, age , pregnancy history etc...
When the contracture is released surgically on the left, that breast will probably be similar to the right. You should discuss all the various options with your surgeon including a minor lift bilaterally as needed to improve the overall appearance if you are willing to accept the additional scar.
Height:5'7 1/2 Weight:127 BEFORE STATS: Bra Size-32C,BWD:14,(R)Breast from Sternal Notch:23 (L)Breast from Sternal Notch:21 AFTER DONUT LIFT & AUG. STATS: Bra Size-32DDD,(R)350cc's(L)400cc's Mod+ unders. SEEKING: Stronger lift w/ less loose skin, firmer, perkier, & more upper pole fullness. Ultimate wish would be for breast not to drape too excessively over the crease(hey, a girl can dream!). Which lift would afford me most of my wishlist? CC & Profile suggestion? Are examples achievable for me?
Thank you for submitting all the information and photos. It makes it much easier to give a good answer.
Your situation is quite common. A reasonble decision was made to proceed with augmentation/mastopexy for you and a circumareolar only or "donut" mastopexy was chosen. Unfortunately, the trade off of "no scar" or less scar (avoiding any vertical-"lollipop lift" or inframammary crease-"full lift" scar) is that the breast can only be lifted so much without modifying the breast tissue itself rather than just reducing the skin.
With the addition of the vertical scar or if needed, the transverse crease scar (the final decision can be made in surgery), it is possible to get to the breast tissue/gland itself which can then be dissected and shaped with sutures. This allows the surgeon to shape the breast independent of the implants, thus enhancing both your the initial breast shape and degree of lifting as well as hopefully yielding longer term results.
The two results you posted as examples are quite reasonble for you.
Good luck.
