Should I Have a Crescent Breast Lift or a Vertical Lift? (photo)

Hi Lola,

Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, you found out the hard way that implants do not lift breasts. Breast tissue must be repositioned and re-shaped to achieve acceptable results. The Ultimate Breast Lift was developed for women like yourself that have adequate volume but desire a younger/perkier breast. It was developed using engineering principles combined with reconstructive techniques to permanently reshape and lift tired/saggy breasts. A much added benefit is that it does not require a vertical scar. Scars are hidden under the natural crease of the breast mound and around the areola. Breasts appear natural with less scarring. Women appreciate the long term results that are accomplished by fashioning an internal cone and straps from your excess skin. The straps are attached to your chest muscles instead of relying on the skin envelope to hold the newly formed breast. And as all women know... skin is simply not enough! I encourage you to do your research. This forum is a great start! Best wishes,

Dr. H

 

Based on the photos, I would recommend a short scar breast lift, otherwise known as a lollipop scar lift.  Implants are not necessary with the amount of breast tissue, but understand that lifts do often make breasts appear smaller even though no breast gland is removed. 

 

I do not do skin only (inverted T-scar) breast lifts, but rather breast shaping (cutting into and repositioning the breast tissue) type lifts.  They actually move the breast back up onto the muscle, provide a better shape, heal with fewer wound complications, and hold up better. 

 

A crescent lift moves the nipple only, and not very much.  The same with the "Benelli lift".  My opinion is that you have too much drooping for those procedures and it will not improve the shape.
