In my reading the Q/A in realself, I came across a PS that said African americans should NEVER use an areola incision beacuse of scarring. this has really bothered me because i was finally happy that I didnt have to have the lollipop scar and I thought this scar would be much less noticable. I also have very large areolas and my PS is making them smaller. Please let me know if I will absolutely have terrible scarring or does it vary from cast to case. Also, 400cc too big for Benelli lift?
Women of African heritage in the United States often have a lot of racial mix. No rule holds across the board. Paler skin types tend to make less noticeable scars than darker skin types. My African American patients usually make good scars if they have no personal or family history of hyperpigmentation (scar darkening) or keloid formation (overgrowth of scars). Less scarring can be beneficial for the person at risk for unsatisfactory scars. The choice of implant size and pattern of breast lift incisions is a judgement call that can only be made in person. The implant and skin envelope need to match. Too tight a skin envelope can create tension that results in bad scars for any skin type. Too large a skin envelope leaves droopy skin. Implants and lifts done together have a high revision rate, approximately 20%, because it is difficult to get it exactly right even by the most experienced plastic surgeons.
Hello, I am 25 years old, 5'2" and weight 112 pounds. I've lost around 70 pounds over the past 10 years and my boobs have noticeable gotten saggy and I have lost breast mass as I lost weight. I have gone from a 36C to a 32C/34B. I would like to get full C Cup perky breasts. In my case, is a breast lift and implants recommended? I know I'm pretty young and have not had kids yet. Does the current state of my breasts indicate how my breasts will change as I age?
Large changes in body weight often stretch out skin beyond its ability to bounce back. Most women need a breast lift to improve breast shape. You may elect to have an implant or not, depending on how big you want to be. You will need an implant if you want to return to your prior breast fullness. There are multiple patterns for breast lifts. From your photographs you may be able to have a lift with minimal scarring, a peri-areolar lift combined with an implant.

Can You Do a Breast Lift from the Arm Pit?
Lifting and shaping the breast requires removing extra skin so that the envelope that holds the gland is a good fit for the amount of breast volume. It cannot be done through an axillary approach, even though breast implants can be placed through that site. There a re a variety of breast lifts. The one with the least visible scarring is the periareolar lift. In that, a ring of skin is removed at the edge of the areola. the larger circle is reduced to the size of the smaller like a "purse string". This gives a conservative lift with minimal scarring and can be used with implants.
