I am 25 years old (No children) and have saggy breasts (either severe or moderate ptosis?). I wanted to change the shape of my breasts and to fill them a bit so they have a natural look. With my doctor we decided on 340 CC Motiva Ergonomix, he will do simultaneosly the perioral mastopexy, He told me that it ist enough in my case to get the sagginess away and it doesn't require Lollipop Lift. Thank you.

Answer: Type of uplift with implant Looking at your photos, you have almost grade 3 ptosis with loss of breast volume. An implant will help achieve the volume you desire, but a periareolar mastopexy will not give you the best result. Although patients prefer to have short scar techniques such as the vertical scar or the periareolar scar techniques, the scar can be thicker, crinkled and wider in these procedures as the skin is bunched up when suturing it together to keep the length of the scar down. This can result in a flattened appearance of the breast in the lower or central part of the breast depending on the technique used. A wise pattern (key hole pattern) scar allows the best possible redraping of your breast tissue, although at the expense of longer scars. There is always a risk of your areola stretching out and becoming larger in future with a peri areolar mastopexy.

Answer: Formal lift better Thank you for your question and photos. Based on the picture showing your desired look, I would suggest that you have another discussion with your surgeon. You are unlikely to get that much improvement with just a peri-areolar mastopexy. The power of that operation is greatly exaggerated and the most common result is a flat breast with wide areolas and wide scars. I reserve that procedure for someone with very borderline ptosis that needs maybe 1cm to 2cm (maximum) of nipple elevation. Although in-person exams are better, from your photos I would recommend a formal vertical lift with either a lollipop or inverted T scar. Good luck.

Answer: Peri-areolar mastopexy I don't think a peri-areolar mastopexy will give you enough lift. I would suggest a circumvertical technique which will leave you with a 'lollipop' or 'tennis racket' shaped scar. I have found the Vectra-XT imaging system to be extremely helpful in helping patients visualise the surgery and make an informed decision about the best option for them. I would advise seeing a surgeon who can offer this service. Best of luck.
