I've always been horribly insecure with my body and how my nipples sat lower on my breasts. Even after losing 60 pounds and becoming more confident with my body, my boobs are not only still an issue, but worse because of the now loose skin. Last year my mother got breast reduction surgery (anchor) from an I to a DDD, and viewing her results made me fear an anchor lift because of scarring. I'm wondering what would be the best procedure for my boobs; lollipop, lollipop with implants, or anchor.

Answer: Lift alone, or add an implant Thank you for your question and photos. You would probably do very well with a breast lift alone. I would try not to focus too much on the scars, as the horizontal scar is often hidden underneath the breast. Sometimes you just have too much skin for the amount of breast tissue, and longer scars are necessary. Generally these will heal well and fade with time. If you want a perkier look, with more fullness in the upper pole, then you should consider an implant. This will fill the upper great, while the lift will move the nipple up and make the areola smaller, while at the same time improving the shape. To some degree a breast lift is a small reduction, removing excess skin and tissue in the lower breast, while the implant will add volume and shape to the upper breast. Make sure you seek out a board certified plastic surgeon who can answer all of your question. Best wishes.
