Purse string or lollipop? (photo)

January 10, 2014
Asked By:Annie in OK in Okahumpka, FL

Which procedure would yield the best overall results? I need a breast lift and and areola reduction, So I'm considering a full lollipop which would leave incision's fully around my aerial down my breast and underneath the crease of my breast. Or just looking for a doctor who would perform a purse string like procedure and reposition my nipple higher. The Dallas surgeon I visited said the look of the pursestring alone does not yield good results for very many patients "it deforms the breast".
