You are a terrific candidate for a vertical breast lift. This will improve the shape of your breast, the size of your areolas and will likely not interfere with sensation or lactation. You may end up needing reivisional surgery down the road, especially if you have children but you would benefit so much having breasts you like (or even love!) while you are young. If you are healthy and can afford it - go for it.

Standard Wise Pattern Breast Lift Is Best By Test
I am a big fan of technology and I am always interested in new techniques in plastic surgery, but sometimes old school is the best. Your photographs would indicate that you have solid, heavy, truly ptotic (droopy) breasts. Your areolar are too large, they are too low on the mound, your breasts are hanging on the chest wall, your nipples are at different levels, and more than likely, your breasts are of different sizes. What you are looking for is a lift that will put your...

!8 and needing a Lift?
Thank you for providing a photo, It really helps the professional panelists devise accurate opinions when we can see the issues. I would perform either a Lollipop (Vertical) lift, and convert it to a scar under the breast only as a last resort as you were adjusted on the table. The enemy of a good surgical outcome is too much tension. Tension that can lead to wide scarring. Interview a few surgeons and get ideas, go with a surgeon who gives you an understanding of all aspects of the surgery...

Breasts Lifting for 18 Year Old?
Thank you for the question and picture.
I think you are an excellent candidate ( from the physical standpoint) for a vertical or anchor pattern breast lift operation. You should educate yourself about the downsides of breast lifting as well; issues such as scarring, breast asymmetry, potential loss of sensation, potential innovator breast-feed, and potentially for further surgery should be considered ( as some of the trade-offs of mastopexy surgery). Only after adequately...

Candidate for a breast lift?
You are an excellent candidate for a breast lift for what appears to be a developmental problem with the shape of your breasts. You will need a scar around the areola (to reduce the areolar size and lift it into a better position) and a vertical scar from the areola to the fold beneath the breast, and possibly a short scar in the fold depending on your measurements and the exact technique required to properly reduce the excess skin that allows the breast to hang.

Vertical mastopexy is a good choice
Based on the provided photo it looks as though you would be a great candidate for a vertical breast lift. This surgery would improve the shape of your breasts and the size of your areolae. Additionally, this surgery will likely not interfere with your sensation and your ability to lactate. For best results contact a board certified surgeon.

Full breast lift is the best option!
I believe that with your degree of ptosis (sagging), you would be served best with a full Wise-pattern (anchor) mastopexy. This type of breast lift is still the most common breast lift performed today, and it's main advantage is the ability to tailor the breast skin in more than one dimension.
Any kind of vertical lift tightens the breast skin in one dimension only, and although suturing the breast tissue to itself is thought to provide additional internal "support" to the...
