I have breastfed 3 kids and this is what my breasts look like now. I don't want to have vertical scars going from my areolas to form a inverted T or lollipop of I am able to somehow get a breast lift or reconstruction by using a periareolar technique. I wouldn't mind having breast reduction or areola reduction if that has to be done to achieve the outcome of no visible scarring. I had a TT in the past and my scars are really dark, which is why I'm scared to have vertical lines.

Answer: Breast Implant, Breast Augmentation, Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation with Implant, Fat Transfer to the Breasts Hello, Thank you for your inquiry regarding the most suitable breast lift technique for your case. After reviewing your history and photographs, it's clear that a peri-areolar breast lift (also known as a Benelli lift or 360 areolar mastopexy) would not be sufficient for achieving the desired outcome. Considering the extent of breast ptosis (sagging) you have, which appears to be grade 3, a more comprehensive approach is necessary. The recommended procedure in your case would be an anchor or inverted T mastopexy. This technique is more extensive than a peri-areolar lift and is designed to address significant sagging effectively. It involves incisions around the areola, vertically down from the areola to the breast crease, and along the breast crease, forming an anchor shape. This allows for a more significant lift and reshaping of the breast. While you mentioned concerns about scarring, particularly based on your experience with tummy tuck scars, it's important to note that breast skin often heals differently. Furthermore, different suturing techniques are used in mastopexy compared to a tummy tuck. Postoperative care, including the use of silicone gel sheeting and possible laser treatments, can also help minimize scarring. Undergoing a less extensive procedure like a peri-areolar lift might not meet your expectations and could lead to disappointment. Therefore, for optimal results, an inverted T or anchor mastopexy is advisable. However, it's crucial to discuss your concerns and expectations with a board-certified plastic surgeon who can provide personalized advice and a detailed explanation of what to expect from the surgery. I hope this information assists you in making an informed decision about your breast lift surgery. Good luck! Sincerely, Dr. Katzen
