Can a Crescent Breast Lift Be Performed Without Implants?

There are many breast lift and mastopexies. There are basically four types and they go from minimal scars to larger scars. As the scars get larger, the lifts become more powerful.
Crescent lift is for minor lifts and usually used for patients with implants to even out the nipple location. It is hard to say what you need, but I would bet on it that you are not a candidate for crescent lift and need something more to lift your breasts.

Good luck.

Hi Amy. Photos would be helpful !
I have found very few patients who actually need a small crescent lift, but if you simply desire a little nipple uplift, it may work for you.
In my opinion, any of the peri-areolar techniques are not so great with an implant because of flattening of the breast mound and scar widening.
I do agree that patients with very long breasts will be wearing a bra thats up a cup size or two because they have to "roll up" their breasts to fit in the bra. After doing skin removal only, I routinely see these patients drop a cup or so. Again, this mainly applies to women with very long breasts.
