Or a lift without lollipop scars? I'm happy with my natural breast size and shape (36F). But I have had some stretching/sagging at the top where the armpit and breast connect. If I pull up on the skin in that area, I'm happy with how it looks. Is there a way to do a lift through the arm pit?
Answer: Lift It is hard to give an opinion without any photos,I recommend you consult in person with a board certified PS for a much more detailed evaluation.

Answer: Is there such thing as a mini breast lift? No, there is no way to do a breast lift through the armpit. However, there are mini-breast lifts for those patients that are candidates for a mini-lift. Mini-anything gives mini results. So if you have lots of sagging, you cannot expect adequate correction. For mild sagging there is the ThermiBreast procedure in which there is no scar at all. This is a minimally invasive procedure under local anesthesia that does tighten the breast for mild sagging. There is no recovery time required, and it does not require a repeat treatment. Incidentally, the vertical scar in a mastopexy is usually inconspicuous, and there should be no "stitch" marks ever. Like everything, there is a trade-off--sagging breasts with no scar for a perky, more youthful shape with scars. You have to decide if it is a good trade-off for you. Generally, the scars are not bad at all. Thank you for your question, and good luck.

Answer: Breast Lift / Breast Augmentation/ Breast Implants/ Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants I appreciate your question. I perform a liposuction breast lift that removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast I then remove the skin to tighten the breast and create a better shape with nice cleavage. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster and drains are not necessary. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It works very well if there are asymmetries. I can also use the removed fat as a natural breast augmentation by grafting the fat back into the breast to create more projection or into the top to create more cleavage. This procedure can also be combined with an implant if needed or wanted. It should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. If you gain or lose weight, the transferred fat can do the same. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon #RealSelfCORESurgeon

Answer: Mini-breast lift The goals of a breast lift are to elevate the nipple/areola to the appropriate level and to tighten up the skin under the breast to give the breast a perkier, more youthful look. I don't know of any type of breast lift done through the armpit. The most MINIMAL breast lift with the LEAST amount of scarring would be the donut (aka, Benelli or peri-areolar) breast lift. This type of breast lift is VERY limited in its usefulness. It is ONLY good for elevating the nipple/areola by a centimeter or two and does nothing to tighten the skin significantly. Since you did not include any photos, it would be difficult to be specific regarding which type of lift would be most appropriate for you. I would suggest that you schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can examine you in person and review your options with you.

Answer: The Bellesoma Method Thank you for you question, The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars. The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc). It is a proprietary technique that only surgeons that have been trained by me can perform. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski
