Answer: Reduction/lift In person exam is essential. Based on limited photos- it appears that you would benefit from extended reduction/lift. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS

Answer: Grade 2/3 Your grade of ptosis is bordering Grade 2 and Grade 3. At grade 2, the nipples are below the inframammary fold but above the lower pole of the breast. At Grade 3, the nipples are sitting at the lowest pole of the breast. While your nipples are not all the way at the lowest pole, they are lower than what I would typically consider Grade 2 ptosis.

Answer: Bellesoma Method It appears you have grade II possibly III. The technique I recommend is The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes, Gary Horndeski, M.D.
