Ultimate Breast Lift is BEST

You are a perfect candidate for a new technique called The Ultimate Breast Lift. This technique produces an incision only around the areola and a transverse hidden in the shadow of your breast. Through this, your breast tissue is reshaped and elevated high on the chest wall. There is never a vertical scar and the weight of your breast is transferred to the underlying muscle. This technique maintains areola sensitivity, the ability to breast feed, relieves brest pain... more

Best Breast Lift For Me

Based on your photograph alone I believe that you would be a good candidate for a vertical mastopexy (Lollipop) with the possibility of a small 'T' component (which means a small horizontal scar in your central breast crease that is barely visible). In most patients with your breast anatomy I choose to perform a 'Lollipop' lift initially. In the operating room I will then sit you up (while you are still asleep, of course) and assess your breast shape. If you still have any... more

What Type of Breast Lift is Best for Me

Thanks for the posted photo. In my opinion based on very limited input I would recommend a full mastopexy.

Best type of breast lift

I would recommend a vertical mastopexy that would leave you with a lollipop scar. I have several patients with your anatomy who have gotten excellent results with that procedure. However, different surgeons may feel more comfortable with a lift that would leave you with an anchor scar. Your surgeon should use the technique that he/she is most comfortable with to give you the best shape. I would definately not recommend a periareolar mastopexy as... more

Type of Breast Lift for Me?

Thank you for the question and picture. Based on your picture, I think you will benefit from a breast lift operation; this operation would be best performed when you have reached a long-term stable weight ( if you are not already there). although it is not possible to give you precise advice without direct examination, most likely a full ( “anchor”) sees breast lift will be necessary for the best aesthetic results. Breast lifting involves some degree of... more

Breast lift options depend on final outcome

Breast lift is about more than determining the degree of ptosis, which is another way to say "sag". Defining what final outcome a patient is desiring, and assessing tissue firmness, overall dimensions, and personal choices in matters like scar position, quality, final shape and size, all contribute to determining the surgical approach. Not everyone will be happy with the same outcome. So I recommend spending some time defining what your particular desired shape would be,... more

The periareolar lift would be of no help for your lift. My preference is the full anchor pattern lift for your particular anatomy.

What Type of Breast Lift

As always, this depends upon your objective. A lift is done for one or more of several reasons: reposition the nipple and areola remove excess skin From the photo, it looks like both issues are present, and I think a full anchor pattern lift would be best. If you are looking also for more volume, and implant will fill out some of the extra skin, and a vertical (lollipop) pattern might work. To find out what is best for you, arrange a consultation with a plastic... more
