Breast Lift with Augmentation or Without To Correct Congenital Ptosis and Asymmetry? (photo)

Okay, I am a 23 year old female. I have never had volume in my breasts. I was recently told that I have congenital breast ptosis with marked dialated areola along with SEVERE ASYMMETRY. What surgery would fix this with minimum scarring? Yes, I know there will be scarring no matter what the surgery, but what would be the safest with the best results. I also want to increase my bust size to a DDD, would I be able to do a lift/correction/augmention ALL in ONE surgery?

Sagging Breast or Congenital Breast Ptosis Requires Breast Lift and Augmentation

When the Breast is sagging or has Congenital Breast Ptosis a Dermal Mastopexy is required to improve the shape of the Breast. Since you want to be bigger as well a Breast Augmentation with a Breast Implant will also be necessary. There are limits to the size of Breast Implant that can be placed during a Breast Augmentation. From your photos I doubt if you can be enlarged to a DDD. Discuss with your surgeon the possibility of Soft Tissue Expansion. There are expandable Saline... more

Congenital tuberous or tubular breasts

You must be VERY careful in choosing your surgeon. You have a congenital condition that is refered to as tuberous breast deformity by doctors and sometimes called tubular breast by laypeople.

Breast lift without implants for constricted bases and congenital asymmetry

Thank you for your question and the photo. Yes, you will likely benefit from a lift with or without implants. At 23 years old, you may consider the lift now and implants later after children. When you see your surgeon, ask about the location of the incisions and the risks, benefits, and potential compllications of surgery. I do not recommend that you get large implants as this will set you up for problems down the road. If you get surgery done when you are young, there is a very high... more

Breast Lift with Augmentation or Without To Correct Congenital Ptosis and Asymmetry? (photo)

Thanks for the photo posted. I recommend to see in person a few boarded PSs in your are. But I see that you may need 2 to 3 staged surgeries. The 1st is a full lift with anchor scar. Second after at least 3 to 6 months healing, insertion of large implant. Than 3rd revision of scars if needed and areolar position.

Breast Ptosis and Asymmetry

Based on your photos, you will need a lift with implants to achieve your desired goals, although your desired size to DDD could create problems. In my opinion, you will need a T-scar type pattern incision due to the amount of ptosis present. I believe this will give you the longest lasting result. I would recommend that you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss the options and most importantly to discuss your desired size. Trying to go too large in... more
