Dermal Wing Mastoplexy? (Photos)

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!

I appreciate your question.

I perform a liposuction breast lift that removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast I then remove the skin to tighten the breast and create a better shape with nice cleavage. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster and drains are not necessary. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It works very well if there are asymmetries. I can also use the removed fat as a natural breast augmentation by grafting the fat back into the breast to create more projection or into the top to create more cleavage. This procedure can also be combined with an implant if needed or wanted.  It should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. If you gain or lose weight, the transferred fat can do the same.

The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam.  Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery.  

Best of luck!

Based on your pictures it looks like you are a great candidate for a full breast lift to improve the shape of your breasts, consult carefully with a board certified PS,best of luck!

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

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.  

Thanks for your question. It appears that you have enough breast tissue that a lift with breast gland redistribution will be helpful. In situations like yours, I have found GalaFORM to be a good stabilizer of the breast mound. It allows for more support and a rounder shape. It also takes tension off the skin to some degree. Find a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon in your area that is an ASAPS member and specializes in cosmetic breast surgery. The Smart Beauty Guide is an excellent source. Best of Luck!

Dear JaneColorado,thank you for question and shared photos. Your photos show a significant level of ptosis so a anchor lift and a lollipop is an option. I prefer performing a lollipop lift specifically for your situation to avoid the boxy look and excess scars.  Not everyone can perform a lollipop or vertical breast lift so its good you are doing your research. You should visit a board certified plastic surgeon for a detailed examination and consultation. Daniel Barrett, MD, MHA, MS

Hi JaneColorado,From your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for breast lifts. Your surgeon will discuss the surgical process of obtaining more symmetrical volumes and shapes.Make sure you clearly discuss your goals with your surgeon prior to your surgery.Best Regards,

Dermal Wing Mastopexy is one of several techniques to elevate, reshape and support a droopy breast.
You appear to be an excellent candidate for mastopexy (breast lift) to improve the shape, position and symmetry of your breasts.
Finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon very experienced in breast lift procedures in whom you trust is the most important next step. During that consultation you will have an opportunity to discuss mastopexy techniques and which is recommended for you by your surgeon.
