Can Breast Lift and Augmentation Correct for Breasts and Nipples Which Hang Far Apart? (photo)

A board certified plastic surgeon recently declined to operate on me as he said I had sagging, mildly tuberous breasts, & both breasts and nipples were far apart. This was disappointing as that was the exact reason I went to the PS - to have this improved. I am fine with the nipples pointing side-ways, but is possible with a lift and augmentation to push the breasts closer together, higher and facing more forward? And could this be done with a sub-glandular augmentation alone without a lift?

Then, your existing tissue is repositioned and permanently fixed over the implant to create a full and natural looking breast. This can be achieved by making an... more

Breast augmentation

Your posted photos show your nipples shifted outward in position and pointing to the side instead of straight forward, the right breast slightly larger than the left and more tissue below the level of the nipples than above it. If you want the nipple position altered you will need at least a crescent mastopexy. If you want more filling of the upper half of your breasts you will need breast implants. I do not think the sagging is sufficient to justify the scarring associated with a full... more

Great posted photos! Yes implants alone can be done. But very hard to advise via the internet. Sorry the previous PS was not helpful. seek 3 other opinions in person from boarded PSs in your area.
