Robert M. Jensen, MD answers: Possible to put scar under breasts for lift and implants?

I want a breast lift and breast implants, but do not want the vertical scar. I want only the scar under the breast like you get for implants. Is this possible?

The only instance I know that a lower, transverse scar will give some improvement is for a condition called pseudo-ptosis. When the nipple is at a near normal position but there is bottoming out of the breast.  A transverse excision of skin and breast tissue will get rid of the hanging tissue beneath the nipple, but the scar is usually quite long, and the procedure does not elevate the nipple. Internal suturing of the breast tissue will give some minimal improvment.
