Periareolar lift and implants or another type of lift needed?

You have severe breast sagging or ptosis, and you have not completed your weight loss yet, so this may get worse. Already you need a full breast lift, in my opinion an anchor lift, and implants to fill out your loss of volume, particularly if you are looking for a fake look. Also in my opinion, it would be best to have a very effective lift first, and follow that with a breast augmentation perhaps 3 months later or more. This would offer the best opportunity to have the... more

Lift and implants

WIth even your arms up in the air,. the areola are pointing downward. You more than likely need a lift with a vertical or "T" pattern closure. I doubt that a periareola lift willbe enough. An exam would be helpful.

You would benefit from full lift and staged augmentation

The answers to your questions regarding the lift and augmentation been very informative and cover most of the issues. The only caution would be the size of the implant and the look you want. The picture that you posted as the desired shape shows very large implant above the muscle. This will cause early sagging in your case. Your tissue is thin and would not support very large implant. As long as you are aware of the need for touchup or redo lift that would be ok. You need to wait till you... more

Full breast lift vs periareolar

The only time a periareolar lift is applicable is if the nipples are absolutely no lower than the inframammary crease. You have too much downward droop to get a great result with just a periareolar lift. Of course the choice is still up to you, but a much better shape will come from the full lift. If you go that route, you will probably need to stage the procedures by 3-4 months because to put in a huge implant can put too much stress on the incisions from the lift if... more

I hope other posting questioneers read your post and see the photos. You did a terrific outline of your issues and the photos show exactly what you are asking. My recommendation is 500 cc aboves with a secondary operation after 3 months of a L-shaped or full lift.

Periareolar lifting enough for a few

The problem with some one who has a very large areola, and significant breast ptosis with the nipple pointing straight down is preventing relapse, especially with a full implant pushing behind. We feel that you should consider a vertical lift if you wish the nipple to stay up and a reasonable size. The picture you provide is a suggested result, and for the look you will need a moderate profile sub-glandular implant. A high profile implant may end up looking like balls, and sub-muscular would... more

Types of Breast Lifts

Thanks for posting your info and pictures. It is very helpful and informative. Based on your pictures, you have a good amount of ptosis of your breasts. A periareolar lift will not be sufficient to give you the best possible final outcome in terms of breast shape and scar healing. For the best results, I would suggest a lollipop and anchor incision with the implant placed partially under the muscle. You should still be able to accommodate a large implant that... more

Periareolar vs other breast lift

Periareolar breast lifts are ideal for lifting the nipples a small distance without the need to remove a lot of excess skin. The more skin that has to be removed the more extensive the incisions have to be such as a lollipop or anchor incision. By doing a lollipop or anchor breast lift, the nipples are usually reduced as part of the procedure. When placing implants after an extensive breast lift, it is safer to stage the procedures and have the implants placed a few months... more

Breast Lift?

Thank you for the question and pictures. It is likely that you will be best served with a vertical mastopexy ( incision around the areola and vertically down the breast) as opposed to a circumareola breast lift. Best wishes.

Periareolar Lift with implants is only rarely a good option

Sometimes you can not have all that you want and this is one of those situations. I never like to disappoint patients but you need to be receptive the opinions of experienced surgeons. You have severe breast ptosis (sagging of the nipple and the breast), asymmetry of your breast volumes and a relatively short distance from the lower edge of the areola to the fold of your breast. This last limitation will not allow your nipple to be reduced in diameter and moved upward while creating a much... more
