My breasts have always been asymmetrical since puberty but it is much worse after weight loss. I saw a plastic surgeon and he said I have grade 3 ptosis. I read last night about dermal wing mastoplexy - do you think I would be a good candidate for that? My goals are 1: symmetry and normal looking breasts, 2: not saggy breasts, 3: size. My current size is 36dd - one side is popping out of the bra and the other fills cup. I am 51 years old and weigh 156.
Answer: Reduction Mastopexy Hello,Both your breasts are relatively large with substantial sagging, and one is larger and more saggy than the the other. Your goals are best achieved with asymmetric reduction of your breast in conjunction with the breast lift, one that can adequately address the substantial amount of skin excess. Liposuction may also be used to shape the tail of the breasts/side of the chest. Go visit a few ABPS certified/ASAPS member surgeons who specialize in breast surgery. Best of luck!

Answer: Dermal Wing Mastopexy? Thanks for providing photos! There are a number of options that can help you achieve a very nice result. In my practice, we generally take a two-pronged approach to achieve optimal results:Placement of a silicone gel implant behind the muscle to help provide shape, structure, and upper pole volumeVertical Dermal Mastopexy to help reshape the skin envelope, reduce areolar diameter, and life the nipple/areola to a more optimal positionMy suggestion would be to meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon experienced in breast lift surgery. This is one of the more challenging procedures in Plastic Surgery and so you really need someone who performs a good number of these on a regular basis. I hope that helps and wish you the very best!-Gregory A Buford MD FACSBoard Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author

Answer: Mastopexy candidate Thanks for your inquiry, I think you are an excellent candidate for a mastopexy. Many surgeons including myself will use the "dermal wings" of a mastopexy to preserve volume. Symmetry to me is the most important thing for you, interview a couple of surgeons before proceeding and best of luck.
