Don’t want visible scars! I just wanted to achieve a little more lift and upper fullness. Is there anyway I can have breast augmentation without the cutting of a lift? When I did the pencil test my nipples are inline. I’m a black women who scars very badly! Every childhood scar is still on me, so I desperately don’t want my nipples cut. I’m a realist about the limitations and trade off of what I’m asking for. Are there any other options or are the incisions the only way??

Answer: You may be a candidate for breast augmentation alone, or periareolar mastopexy Breast augmentation alone can provide a small amount of lifting of the nipple, approximately 1-2 cm maximum. Any additional lifting would require a mastopexy/lift procedure. Depending on your goals a periareolar mastopexy could provide you with a lifting effect as well. In person evaluation would be best to make this decision. It is good that you recognize that scarring will always be present with a lift procedure. In a periareolar mastopexy, the scars are placed around the nipple and therefore can be slightly less perceptible, although still present. If it was determined in an examination that a vertical mastopexy technique( AKA lollipop type incision) Was required to give you the appropriate lifting,nI would recommend aggressive scar management for you. I perform breast augmentation and breast lifting procedures commonly. Please see attached link for more information from our practice

Answer: Bellesoma Method 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, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
