Improve sagging breasts with a breast lift and augmentation

Your breasts are challenging but they can most definitely be improved. Your best option, in my opinion, is a breast augmentation to provide fullness and a full lift (please see video included). Unfortunately, there is no treatment for breasts which are far apart. Some patients have a wide chest bone with the breasts separated. The only option is to make a cut over the chest bone, remove the wide portion and re-wire the bone back together (VERY DRAMATIC!) It also will leave a long scar in... more

Lifting tubular breasts

Like many of the other doctors who have answered here- I agree that you would benefit from a well performed breast lift. Your breasts do seem to be somewhat tubular in their form, and so as part of the lifting procedure you would likely benefit from a release of the constricting tissue at the breast base on either side.

Tuberous breast deformity

Your breasts have a tuberous shape to them, which means that they are constricted at the base, which causes the tissue to "flop" and sag. This is a challenging problem, which can be corrected by releasing the tissue, elevating it with a breast lift, and placing implants to provide volume that will match your body. I suggest seeing several board-certified plastic surgeons in your area who can evaluate you and show you photographs of similar patients. Good luck, /nsn. more

Sagging and far apart

You seem to have a componet of the tuberous breast anomoloy with the tight infra mammary crease. This is probably of no consequence to you and your breasts can be lifted and improved tremendously with a inverted T shaped lift.

Breast Implant Position

For ideal results, you may need a breast augmnetation and a breast lift. Many patients considering breast augmentation are seeking to not only enhance the volume of their breasts, but to also enhance the shape and/or improve the symmetry of their breasts. Essentially all breast shape and symmetry issues can be improved during breast augmentation, and with most of them it is possible to make significant improvements and produce an aesthetically desirable breast profile.

How to Fix Sagging, Far Apart Breasts

There are no good procedures to completely give you cleavage but a mastopexy (breast lift) with an implant can make the appearance of this deformity much better. Having both breast more fuller with elevation of the nipple/areolar complex will give the appearance of more cleavage.

Breast lift for tuberous breasts

Your breasts are tuberous. They would benefit from a mastopexy. However, given your shape, this would leave you with small breasts which might make you appear bottom-heavy. If this is a concern, you should consider augment-mastopexy. I recommend that you see a board certified plastic surgeon in consultation. Best of luck!

Plastic Surgery Options for Displaced Breasts

Indeed your breasts are displaced very much to your sides as well as projecting onto your abdomen. Essentially your breasts need to have a breast lift and possibly a small breast reduction in order to elevate them back onto your chest wall. With the correct design of the procedure, your post-operative breasts will be more centrally placed on your chest wall. The limiting factor will be how easily your nipple and areola can be adjusted more centrally. You may still feel that you have a wider... more

Breast lift(mastopexy) and augmentation

Based on the photo you provided, you look like an excellent candidate for a mastopexy (lift) and breast augmentation to improve the look and shape of the breasts. The incision type used to provide a lift depends on the severity and complexity of the case. Implants will be used and placed under the mucsle to help provide fullness and improve the shape of the breasts. In your case, an "anchor" incision may be used to provide a perkier and longer-lasting look. I recommend... more

You are a candidate for a breast lift

A breast lift is an excellent surgery to correct the sagging of breasts and to change their shape and position on the chest. If you're interested in adding additional volume to the breast or creating a rounder appearance, you may consider adding implants to the lift. Be sure that you consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon who is well-versed in breast lift and breast augmentation techniques. Combining these two surgeries may be a challenge and it is important to... more

I think your chest looks just fine--full, soft and womanly! "Perky" isn't the only good look. See if you can be happy with what you have, I know a lot of men would love it!
