Which Breast Lifting Technique Would Be Most Suitable? (photo)

I have consulted a board certified PS & am in process of scheduling the surgery. Dr. has said for perkiest look go for a full lift w/ augmentation, and for a more natural look go with a donut lift w/ augmentation. Below are photos of the look I'm after & my own breasts. I know "perky" and "natural" have different definitions depending on each person. Which lifting would bring mine to the same position and shape? I know all breasts are different, I am simply going for that "style" in the pics

To look like Megan Fox, a vertical (lollipop) mastopexy + small breast implant is needed

Based on the photos you shared of yourself and your desired look, I'd recommend a small implant for superior fullness and a vertical ("lollipop") mastopexy as the best approach. Your plastic surgeon described things quite well actually, in that a vertical mastopexy will give you a firmer and higher positioned breast mound that's “perkier” in apparence. As for whether or not a periareolar mastopexy ("donut lift") would produce an attractive... more

Breast lift without vertical incisions

If you want to look like the model in the photographs, you will need an augmentation. I recommend silicone gel implants, retro-pectoral. You will also need a lift since your nipples are too low and the nipples reduced since they are too large. The circumareola lift can be done, with implants placed and your breast tissue elevated along with internal plication. It is important to align the nipple, the breast tissue and the implant in the same horizontal plane to give... more

Vertical lift

Thanks for your question. I believe you need a vertical "lollipop" type lift to both elevate the nipple-areolar complex and tightening the lower pole of your breast.

Which breast lifting technique would be most suitable?

You are looking for a very natural look with less breast overhang and a somewhat higher nipple position and smaller and less stretched areola. Judging by the photo example of what you are looking for, you are not concerned about having more upper pole fullness or even a "natural" implanted look. There are two reasons to use implants...if patients are looking for larger breasts, or if they are looking for more upper pole fullness. I would therefore suggest a breast lift,... more

What type of breast lift for me (photos)?

A circumvertical pattern will produce the projection you desire with a nice breast shape, and implants added for volume. In skilled hands, you should have the result you desire, or better.

Breast lift and augmentation

Without and sam it is difficult to say. Many times I do perform a circumareola lift with an augmentation but it has to be the right person.

Breast Augmentation and Lift

Hello Simona, Although I've not performed an true examination on you, your photos suggest that your skin envelope lacks elasticity. Further, it appears that your inframammary fold is quiet a bit above you nipple, which means you have a significant amount of redundant skin that will need to be addressed. This is never a good situation for the circumareolar mastopexy. May I remind you that the circumareolar mastopexy is the number one procedure listed in malpractice... more

Breast lift options

From your photos, I think a vertical lift would get you close to the look that you like. I do not think an augmentation with a periareolar lift would. First of all, your volume is similar to the model's. She does not have alot of upper pole fullness that an augmented breast would have. I think the aug and periareolar lift results in a particular look that does not look natural, at least in patients with your degree of sagging. I must compliment you good... more

Which breast lift for you

The photo shows a breast not too much unlilke yours with greater projection and better nipple size. The vertical lift or lollipop patern will lift the nipple and reduce the size. Importantly it will reduce the lower laxity and give more projection just like the photo and should be the best lift for you. Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Vertical lollipop scar breast lift will work great for you without implants.

Hi. This is the Lejour technique, and it's best for most women. It lifts the breast internally, and the results are very long lasting. Avoid the "anchor scar" lift, which just tightens the skin. see video
