What incision or surgical options are available with my degree of sagging? Looking for the least invasive (photos)

Thank you for your question.
Based on the photo provided, I believe that a circumvertical incision pattern will give you the best aesthetic overall. This incision involves a thin fine line around the areola and then a small vertical line underneath. I recommend speaking to a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and concerns.

Hello, thank you for your question. a mini lift in our practice is a lollipop lift which would leave a scar around the areola and a vertical line in the breasts. I don't like to use a peri areolar by itself since it only will move the areola slightly instead of just lifting the actual breast tissue.

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. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Best Wishes,

Thank you for your question. A small implant placed into the sudden glandular plane with a crescent or donut left will provide you with an acceptable result. However, it is difficult to tell exactly what would be necessary based on the rendering. There is always a trade-off - scars for shape. You are likely a good candidate for a vertical only breast lift and therefore can avoid a Breast implant. Good luck.

Dear sabrinass,
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. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

Although measurements are needed to be certain, you probably need the vertical lift for your best results. The doughnut lift is limited and implants would need to be placed in front of the muscle.
