I consulted a board certified plastic surgeon and apparently I can have surgery that goes around the nipple area only combined with small implants for my lift. I've read on this website and elsewhere, however, that this procedure is generally for small breasted women only (I'm a 36-C). Is my breast size okay for this surgery? And is this the least intrusive (besides the crescent) option? I rather would like to avoid the implants, but want the least amount of surgery possible. Thank you.
Some patients with limited breast ptosis may be best served by a more limited 'mastopexy' procedure in which skin is removed around the areola only and the areolar diameter is reduced. This is referred to as a 'circumareolar mastopexy'; it is also called a 'Benelli mastopexy', or 'donut mastopexy' - because the pattern of skin removal is donut-shaped. I put the term 'mastopexy' in quotes here as, in my opinion, this is not truly a breast lift procedure. Removing skin around the areola may allow one to move the nipple-areola complex to a slightly higher level, perhaps two to three centimeters or so, but it does not actually 'lift' the breast. To truly lift the breast one must remove some lower pole breast tissue and rearrange breast tissue internally to create an aesthetically appealing, lifted breast in which the result of the lift is lasting.
Hi, I am wondering if it would be possible for me to get a breast lift without implants? I love having small breasts but I just hate how saggy they are and how low my areolas sit.I think my breasts really suit my body when in a bra even though they are small and I would really rather not get implants.
Given your photos you seeem to be a good candidate for a lift w/o implants-should you wish to have a little bit more fullness in the upper pole of the breast without really going larger, you may want to consider talking to a PS re fat transfer to the breast with lift. We are seeing more and more patients not desiring implants but wanting a very natural look with fat.
I am scheduled for a breast lift with silicone implants 350 under the muscle. I am 53. I am suddenly very nervous as I have read reports of the pain and sproblems associated with this surgery. Am I getting worked up for nothing? Thank-you so much.
The recovery from subpectoral breast augmentation used to be a rather unpleasant experience, but it no longer has to be. A space for the implant must be developed behind the pectoralis major, and a portion of the muscle's inferior origin must be released. Surgery on a muscle in most cases produces significant postoperative pain, and that is certainly true for breast augmentation. However, by using a local anesthetic infusion device (oain pump') for the first two to three days after surgery, the pain associated with this procedure can be reduced quite dramatically.
While breast augmentation patients in this practice receive a prescription for a mild narcotic pain medication for use after surgery (just in case), most of them never take it. Most patients report little to no pain in the evening following surgery, and perhaps some mild discomfort on Postop day one and two. Patients can resume all normal, non-strenuous activities of daily living immediately after surgery, and can begin pec major range of motion exercises on the evening of their procedure.
