I am 28 have had 2 children, currently a 32 B looking to go to a C. I have received 3 different opinions: 1.Might be ok without lift just Augmentation2.Augmentation with lift, for best results a lollipop/full lift, but might also achieve desirable results w/ doughnut lift. 3.Augmentation with crescent lift allowing the Dr to shape and move the nipple as well as tighten the skin. I realize a lift is necessary to achieve the results I want however I am not sure which approach I should take. Any advice is much appreciated!
Answer: Crescent lift vs. periareolar lift with breast augmentation I would agree with the periareolar / possible lollipop and breast augmentation opinion. Depending on factors such as implant size, tolerance for scars, need for projection, etc. a full lift might also be necessary.

Answer: Crescent Lift with Breast Implants We prefer to use the #short-scar #technique, “#lollipop scar” or “#donut lift” rather than the majority of surgeons in the United States that use an anchor pattern lift which involve more significant #scarring.The #crescent lift removes a small amount of skin at the top of the areola. We find that there is very little lift and the areola becomes oval in shape and distorted with this method. Also, often patients will have a better shape to their breast such as increased superior fullness if an implant is used at the time of #mastopexy.

Answer: Breast lift with an implant. The smaller procedure is not the best for most patients. Great question. From your photos it appears you have some asymmetry which you would benefit from correction with a breast lift. An implant alone will not be appropriate, and the peri-areolar or crescent lifts end up widening the areola and flattening the breast. I would recommend a vertical mastopexy with an implant on both sides because the scars should match. Discuss this plan with your board certified plastic surgeon.
