I am 21 years old, 130 lbs, no pregnancies. I hate the shape and size of my breasts. I want a more youthful appearance and bigger size but I am scared of the scars of the lollipop Mastopexy. Will I be able to get a good lift with a Crescent mastopexy and Breast Implants?
Answer: For best result a lollipop breast lift not crescent is your best option Thank you for your question and photographs. An examination in person is required for your best answer. However based on your photographs it seems likely to will need at least a lollipop lift to adequately reduce areola size and lift the nipple areola and remove excess breast skin for your best results. Please consult on expert board certified plastic surgeon.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Crescent mastopexy with implants Thank you for the question. From the photographs it appears lack of breast volume in upper pole and increased size of areola with drooping of the nipple. To achieve a pleasing result, you would need an augmentation with implants but also need moving the nipple up. A crescentic uplift will address the upper part of the areola . A vertical uplift can address both the areola in all areas and also address the excess skin in the lower pole. Please see a consultant plastic surgeon to discuss the operation and various options available to give you the desired results.

Answer: Will a crescent mastopexy work? Generally for patients with your breast type I would not perform just a crescent mastopexy. It can lead to an oval looking areola, and widening if you try to do too much lifting with a crescent mastopexy. You mentioned you hate the shape of your breasts, this will not be changed with a crescent mastopexy. I can change the shape of breasts with a vertical lift however. Best, Dr. Richland

Answer: Will I be able to get a good lift with a Crescent mastopexy and Breast Implants? Thank you for sharing your photo! Sorry, but a crescent lift is a very limited procedure as far as what we can achieve with it and you are not a very good candidate for one.... actually most patients aren't. One option that will help, but will not totally correct your issues, is a Donut Lift with implants. I feel your best option would be a Full Anchor Breast Lift with Implants. A better shape and better nipple position can only be corrected with a lollipop or better yet, an anchor lift. This, plus the correct size implants will give your the best results possible. If you are not ready for scars now, do not get anything done yet. In cases such as yours, scars are not the problem they are actually the solution. Large implants can help chape the breast and help give the illusion of a lift, but the only way to get rid of tissue and or lift tissue and tighten the skin is with incisions and therefore scars. Best of luck! Dr. Miguel Mota

Answer: Crescent mastopexy and implants. While the short scar of a crescent mastopexy may be appealing, when you consider what this small procedure does, you will realize that is has no power in shaping the breast or making significant change, other than raising the nipple a few millimeters. If you are considering any type of lift, I would urge you to consider accepting the scar of a vertical lift. It would reduce the size of your areola and reshape your breasts. A circumareolar lift may be worth considering, but that scar does not always heal well.

Answer: Crescent Mastopexy and Implants for More Youthful Breasts? Thank you for your question! looking at your photos, it appears as though you have a moderate amount of ptosis or drooping of the breast, unfortunately, I do not think a crescent lift will give you the results you are trying to achieve. I would likely recommend a benelli lift (periareolar lift) which will decrease your areola size along with lifting the areola to a more satisfying position on the breast, this type of lift can be done in conjunction with a breast augmentation to enhance upper-pole fullness and overall volume. I would recommend scheduling a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon. Best of luck!
