I am 21 years old, 130 lbs, no pregnancies. I hate the shape and size of my breasts. I want a more youthful appearance and bigger size but I am scared of the scars of the lollipop Mastopexy. Will I be able to get a good lift with a Crescent mastopexy and Breast Implants?
Answer: Crescent mastopexy vs. an Inverted-T mastopexy

Answer: Breast lift and augmentation Thank you for you question and photos. As always, a consultation would allow me to give you a more definitive answer but based on your photos I would recommend a circumareolar mastopexy and breast augmentation. This incision would avoid the vertical portion of the lollipop lift but would require an incision around the entire nipple. This allows us to reduce the size of areolar and improve the nipple position. I hope this helps.

Answer: Crescent mastopexy with implants Thank you for the question. From the photographs it appears lack of breast volume in upper pole and increased size of areola with drooping of the nipple. To achieve a pleasing result, you would need an augmentation with implants but also need moving the nipple up. A crescentic uplift will address the upper part of the areola . A vertical uplift can address both the areola in all areas and also address the excess skin in the lower pole. Please see a consultant plastic surgeon to discuss the operation and various options available to give you the desired results.

Answer: Will a crescent mastopexy work? Generally for patients with your breast type I would not perform just a crescent mastopexy. It can lead to an oval looking areola, and widening if you try to do too much lifting with a crescent mastopexy.

Answer: Will I be able to get a good lift with a Crescent mastopexy and Breast Implants? Thank you for sharing your photo! Sorry, but a crescent lift is a very limited procedure as far as what we can achieve with it and you are not a very good candidate for one.... actually most patients aren't. One option that will help, but will not totally correct your issues, is a Donut Lift with implants.

Answer: Crescent mastopexy and implants. While the short scar of a crescent mastopexy may be appealing, when you consider what this small procedure does, you will realize that is has no power in shaping the breast or making significant change, other than raising the nipple a few millimeters. If you are considering any type of lift, I would urge you to consider accepting the scar of a vertical lift. It would reduce the size of your areola and reshape your breasts. A circumareolar lift may be worth considering, but that scar does not always heal well.
