A: For the best result, you need a mastopexy

By Sam Jejurikar, MD - Dallas Plastic Surgeon

You have significant right-sided ptosis and marked asymmetry. Without some type of mastopexy on the right side, you will be left with residual asymmetry.

A: No one "needs" a Breast Lift

Hello, You need to decide what kind of result is adequate for you. Without a breast lift of some kind, you will have two very different looking breasts.

A: Yes, you need a lift for the best result

A: no

You have very uneven breast and your right nipple is lower and bigger. You will need cirumaerolar breast lift and implant. I do not recommend implant and mastopexy at the same time. Doing lift and implant at the same time will increase risk of the surgery . You may try augmentation with the... more

A: May not need breast lift

By Jeffrey Horowitz, MD - Baltimore Plastic Surgeon

Without the beneift of examining you, I don't believe you would require a lift on the left side, but I believe a circumareolar mastopexy (incision around the areola only) would be necessary to lift the right nipple slightly. At most, a "lollipop" incision (meaning around the areola... more

A: Do I Need A Breast Lift

Your pictures show marked breast asymmetry (different breast shape and size). As a result, a patient has to decide what kind of result they are looking for. The right breast has more ptosis or droopiness than the left breast. A breast lift would give the best aesthetic results. Because... more
