Breast lift for breast asymmetry and drooping
I do not believe a vertical lift will give you optimal results with the degree of lift necessary, particularly in your left breast. Rather, an anchor type of incision will give you the best appearing scars around the nipple and on the vertical incision and not give the tendency toward a flat appearing breast that many vertical-only techniques can produce.
Dr. Rand is spot on to look at pictures carefully of patients with your type of breast and see how they did with the various doctors.

Breast lift approach depends on degree of sagginess/ptosis and your goals
Breast lift or mastopexy is by far one of the most challenging operations plastic surgeons perform. The type of lift depends upon the degree of ptosis or sagginess of the breast, the surgeons experience and preferred approach and patient goals.
If you place a mark at your fold where the breast attaches to the chest and connect those lines below your breast bone between your breasts and look in the mirror, if your nipples are below the line, you need a mastopexy or breast lift. For me the...

Best Type of Breast Lift for YOU
You have both significant breast sagging and asymmetry. The most attractive and longest lasting results would be obtained with a MODIFIED Lejour, more accurately a Hall-Findlay Breast lift procedure.
This operation will cone the breasts and lift them resulting in perkier, higher breasts. It allows for a breast reduction on one side and correction in the size of the areolae thereby greatly improving the breast asymmetry while giving long lasting results WITHOUT the under the breast,...

Breast lift
It looks as though you are a good candidate for a vertical incision breast lift (same as the circumvertical incision which one of my colleagues previously described). You will probably need to have a small reduction on the left to match your right breast, which can be done through the same incisions. I suggest seeing 1-2 surgeons in your area who can examine you and show you photographs of this procedure. Good luck, /nsn.

A breast lift can involve several different types of incisions
Hello - It appears as though your a great candidate for a circumvertical breast lift. This type places the incisions around the areola with a small incision below it. It provides a lift to the nipple/areola as well as improving the shape of the breast. Potential problems scarring, altered nipple sensation, and recurrence of the sagginess. A breast lift can be done entirely as an outpatient with minimal pain and downtime. Good luck!

Types of breast lifts
You have significant ptosis and asymmetry of the breasts. A full lift will elevate the nipple, reshape the breasts and correct the asymmetry. Make sure to go to a surgeon whose photos looks excellent because no 2 surgeons are alike and neither are their results.

Breast Lift Technique?
Thank you for the question and picture.
Your breasts demonstrate significant breast ptosis and asymmetry of size and position. You will benefit from breast lifting/reduction using vertical or anchor type incisions. You will find that in order to improve symmetry, different incisions may be necessary. Obviously, reduction of the larger side will also be helpful.
Make sure you are working with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Best wishes.

You can go with either a lollipop incision lift or an inverted "T" incision lift depending upon what your goals are.

You will do best with a traditional breast lift and removal of a small amount of tissue on the left
You appear to have a breast asymmetry with your left breast being larger and with the nipple being lower as compared to your right breast. Both breasts have moderate ptosis or settling. I think that you would receive the best overall shape with a traditional lift with removal of a small amount of breast tissue from the left breast to better match the right breast volume.
The incisions would be around the areolar margins, up and down below the areolae, and in the creases underneath the...
