Breasts are low sitting & want to a lift & tighten them up, what is recommended?

The technique I recommend is 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.

Best Wishes,

Dear evez2072,
my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

Dear evez2072,
Thank you for reaching out with your concerns about your breasts sitting low and your desire to lift and tighten them. Your provided history and pictures have been instrumental in offering a tailored recommendation.
Optimal Procedure: Anchor Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Based on your description and visual assessment, an anchor mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, appears to be the most suitable procedure for your needs.
This involves an incision that encircles the areola, extends vertically down the front of the breast, and then follows the natural curve underneath the breast.
Procedure Details:
Skin Removal: Only a minimal amount of breast skin will be removed (approximately a tablespoon), primarily for tightening and lifting the breasts.
Asymmetry Correction: The procedure will also address any asymmetry, removing more skin from the lower-hanging breast to achieve a balanced appearance.
Breast Reduction Option: If you're also considering reducing the size of your breasts, this can be incorporated into the breast lift procedure.
Surgery and Recovery:
The surgery is typically done under general anesthesia and is an outpatient procedure.
The duration is about 3 to 4 hours, and drains are generally not required.
Following your surgeon's post-operative care instructions, you can expect to return to a sedentary job in about two weeks.
In conclusion, an anchor mastopexy aligns well with your goals of lifting and tightening your breasts, while also allowing the opportunity for size reduction if desired.
I hope this information helps in making an informed decision about your breast surgery. Wishing you a successful outcome and a smooth recovery.
Sincerely,
Dr. Katzen

Hello!
This is a great question you have here!
From your photos, it seems you are a candidate for a breast lift. Your breasts will be lifted, re-suspended internally, and sit higher post-procedure. A breast lift is a great option for you, as it seems that you have breast tissue that is proportional to your body's size and shoulders, so you would not require implants.
As always, an in-depth, in-office consultation is required to explain what would be best for you individually, as well as explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have.
Best,Dr. Tanovic

Thanks for your question. From your pictures, you seem to be a good candidate for a breast lift. A breast lift would elevate the breasts to a higher, more youthful position. You can also consider a breast lift with implants. The breast implants would restore fullness and volume to the upper pole of the breasts. It all depends on what your goal is. Hope this helps. Always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Moises Salama MD, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what is right for them.

Thank you for uploading your photos. I recommend a repeat lift, vertical pattern, with mesh to hold the tissue up for longer

A breast lift will remove excess skin and raise the nipple position. You can consider a small reduction if you would like smaller breasts. Another option for you to consider is auto augmentation. This is an approach that uses your own tissue to create more upper pole fullness. This is not a fat transfer. I've included a video that I hope you find helpful.

A lift would do well for you. You do have plenty of breast tissue and don't need an implant for more volume.

Thank you for your question. Based on your pictures, I would suggest a breast lift. Depending on you goal size after surgery, you may also be a candidate for what we call an "auto-augmentation". This is where we use some of the tissue from the bottom of the breast that would normally be removed during a lift and sew it up higher on the chest to create a little more fullness centrally. When combined with a skin excision (likely anchor lift), this can re-position your breast tissue higher on your chest as you are showing in your "after" picture.
