I would like some advice as to which breast lift would be best for me. I am 34C but have had breast implants to 34DD for 2yrs which I didn't like and have removed so more implants are not an option. I am thinking of a crescent lift or a vertical lift. My breasts still feel full but there skin seems loose so I thought a crescent lift may be enough but now I'm worrying that I should have the breast tissue shaped. I am not worried about losing breast size. Please help me with your opinions. Thanks.

Answer: Short scar breast lift is the right operation
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.

Answer: Best Breast Lift for Me?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
If you are looking to have an effective breast lift performed, then it is very likely that you will benefit from vertical mastopexy surgery. Other types of breast lifting (crescent or Benelli) will likely not be effective and are associated with significant risk, such as spreading/distortion of the areola.
I would suggest in person consultation with well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons.
Best wishes.
