Breast tite or breast lift? (Photo)

Hi Dynamic647995

Breast lifts using a lollipop incision are designed for middle-sized reductions or for patients who need the nipple to be lifted by more than 2 cm. The donut incision around the areola is extended downward which takes the tension off the areola. In this way, the scar around the areola is less conspicuous even though the overall length of the scar is longer. This technique also provides for excellent cleavage. For more information about this procedure, please visit our website.

Hello, thank you for your question. Based on your photos you would benefit from a full breast lift. A breast lift would reshape the tissue with skin tightening. The goal of the breast lift procedure is to restore a woman’s perky natural contours with minimal post-surgical marks and through using state-of-the-art techniques. The board certified plastic surgeon you select should be so skilled at breast lifts that the smallest scar will be utilized to achieve optimal shape. An in-office examination by a board certified plastic surgeon would be necessary.

Hi Dynamic
I think you would be best suited to a breast lift which in my hands would be a minimal scar technique.

Your breasts are low on the chest wall. The technique I recommend is a lift using The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired. Implants are not lifetime devices. 8% fail within the first year and 30% fail within six years. Fat transfers are permanent and incorporated into the body.

It’s up to you whether to have your breasts lifted. I’m aware of the breast tite thing but am skeptical as to whether it dies anything other than cost you money.

Good morning!
I think you are beyond those adjunctive techniques and really would most benefit from true surgical breast lift!

Dear Dynamic649795,
determining whether you need simply a breast augmentation versus a breast lift can be somewhat complicated. It depends on a number of factors including skin laxity and current nipple position. Generally speaking, if the nipples are lower than the inframammary line the patient will most likely need a breast lift. If the nipples are at or above the inframammary line we can generally get by with just a breast augmentation depending on the size of the implant the patient wants. I often still using implant when I perform a breast lift because it provides more upper breast fullness after the lift. To be sure a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon will help determine what the patient actually needs.

Hello and thank you for your question on RealSelf.com. I don't think BreastTite (BodyTite) will give you the results that you want given the existing asymmetry. The nipple positions are different on the 2 breasts and only surgery can fix that. Lipo on the bigger side will make that breast sag more. As such, I would recommend breast lift where by one breast is lifted more than the other but will have the same nipple position at the end. Thank you.

Since your actual breast is sagging, you will need a lift. Radiofrequency treatments cannot raise sagging breast tissue.
