I am wondering if it is possible to raise the position of the nipples without performing a breast lift ? I am happy with where my breasts sit but my nipples are very low on my breasts. Is it possible to just raise the position of the nipples without losing any skin or tissue ?
Answer: Breast lift Great question! Unfortuatnely there is no way to raise the nipple without doing some type of lift - with that said there are many types of lift, some of which create minimal scarring. The simplest is a crescent lift which can bring the nipple up about 2-3cm and creates about a 5cm scar, but it could also be as complex as an achor type scar. However, only with a physical examination can the type of lift be determined.Best of luck and hope this information helps! - Dr. Roger Tsai @DrRogerTsai Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Answer: Areolae Yes, the areolae can be lifted if the breasts are in good position. This is called a doughnut lift. Some lifting of the breasts can be done through this incision, but more may need the vertical incision as well.

Answer: Breast Lift Surgery / Mastopexy -- Breast Mound Repositioning, Nipple & Areola Relocation, Excess Skin Removal, Fat Grafting, Br You need a formal evaluation by a licensed plastic surgeon and expert in breast lifts, revisions and augmentations to determine what is best for you and your goals.Breast lift surgery can improve a woman's breast shape by repositioning the breast mound at a higher position on the chest and then centering the nipple and areola on the breast itself. If there is enough breast tissue, I can perform a highly aesthetic mastopexy without the addition of further volume by internally rearranging the breast tissue and removing excess skin. If more volume is needed, especially in the upper portion of the breasts, we will discuss the possibility of fat grafting or silicone gel implant placement. The type of incision required for this surgery (circumareolar, “lollipop” or “anchor”) and the lifespan of the lift depends on each patient’s condition, breast tissue, genetics, weight and hormonal fluctuations, and desired results. Augmentation with mastopexy is a challenging surgery that requires significant experience to create a shape that is youthful, natural, and proportionate to the body, while managing the native tissue as well as fat grafts or implants. When performed properly, it can result in a dramatic improvement to a woman’s breast appearance. I suggest consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon and expert in Breast Lifts. - Dr. Cohen
