Breast Lift: Q&A
Ask a QuestionBreast Lift or Just Nipple Reduction?
I've been to several consults with plastic surgeons. One refused to work on me at all, one offered to do a nipple reduction only, one offered to do a nipple reduction with an implant to make them fuller, and one offered to do a complete breast lift with implant. I am very confused about the route I should take. Please help!

Breast lift or nipple reduction depends on the kind of result you seek
You present the hardest issue in plastic surgery. First of all you have a nice breast and I would suggest that you leave them alone for now.
You do not have sever sagging of the breast tissue. You have fair amount of breast tissue. There is fair amount of difference between your breast.
If you get only implants this will cause more stretching and enlarging of the nipple aerola complex. You will also sag soon after surgery.
If you get implant and lift (nipple lift or compelete breast lift),...

Breast options
Your photo is grainy but does seem to show that your breasts are asymmetrical with your right one lower than the left and both with enlarged areolas (not nipples). I would suggest a small implant to add some upper pole volume with periareolar lifts to improve the symmetry of the areolas and decrease their diameter a little. Many photos of this are on my web site.

Breast surgery?
Thank you for the question and picture.
The “route” you take surgically (if any) depends on what your goals are. In other words, what are you trying to achieve? Once you are able to clearly identify your goals it will become obvious what surgical procedure will help you reach your goals. Otherwise, every surgeon you see will have an opinion: most of them irrelevant.
Some general words of advice may be helpful:

Breast lift or not?
The question is what do you want? What are your expectations? What don't you like about your breasts. forget what you have been told. Are you happy with your size. Does your minor asymmetry bother you or is it just your areolar size. Once you have answered these questions, you can make a n informed decision from a periareolar reduction and mild lift with not implants up to implants with a lift. Don't sell yourself short.

Hi.
1) The most important question is what don't you like about your breasts. Surgical plan based on that.
2) Just from your picture, I would say a breast lift just with scars around your nipples (Benelli) will both make your nipples smaller (really your areolas), and correct the mild sagging. I don't think you need breast implants.

The process of deciding the proper surgery for you
You are not having surgery to please your plastic surgeon. You are having surgery to achieve a certain goal. It is a plastic surgeons job to tell you if and how that can be achieved as well as the risks and alternatives.
Figure out your goals:
smaller/larger breasts
smaller/larger areola and/or nipples
fuller breasts
lifted breasts
less uneven breasts
Also determine your level of risk tolerance as well as acceptance of scars.
I think this will help tremendously in the decision making...

Breast surgery
The photo is a bit blurry and certainly an exam in person would be more appropriate. I assume that you do not mean nipple reduction but rather an areola reduction. This can be performed in a fairly straightforward way.

Breast lift or just areolar reduction
It really depends on what really bothers YOU.The options you were offered: - areolar (round darker skin around the nipple) reduction only,- breast lift- areolar reduction with an implant or - breast lift with implant
are each meant to address a specific complaint.
If all you want is for the areolas to be symmetrical in size - you need an areolar reduction
If all you want is to lift your breasts and keep them the same size - a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is called for
if you want your areolas...

Get evaluated by a plastic surgeon for Breast lift or nipple reduction
In order to FULLY respond to the vague question you ask, I believe ONLY an in person evaluation with another boarded Plastic Surgeon or return to the previous 3 with these questions. You first must explain your wishes. Than you must understand terms. Are you concerned about the diameter and asymmetry of the areolae or is the nipple projection your issue? Than are you concerned about the slope or pseudo ptosis or very slight hanging of your breasts? Next do you want fully upper pole filling...
