After breastfeeding 5 children for 10 consecutive years, now I have moderate ptosis with enlarged areolas. I want implants & an areola reduction. Could getting larger implants & an areola reduction be enough to forgo a breast lift? I love the look of a lift, but hate the look of the scar, & I tend to scar easily. What would it look like with implants & no lift?
Answer: Crescents are for eating, not lifting breasts The worst of all breast lifts, the crescent lift should be abolished. It only functions to elongate and enlarge the areola. The only valid periareolar lift is the circumareolar lift, aka 'Benelli' or 'donut' lift. Hmm, another pastry! Anyway, if both breasts looked like your less ptotic one, the donut lift might be valid. Unfortunately, your other breast is lower, and applying the donut lift to that one and expecting it to look like the other is a fantasy. Any surgeon trying to get symmetry will cause a whole host of problems too: circumareolar pleating, thick scars, re-expanded and irregularly shaped areola, and a flattened breast mound appearance. Also, be careful with implants that are bigger than you want to achieve your desired body proportions for the express purpose of 'lifting' your breasts; you'll just be back in the operating room sooner or later getting them reduced, and then with no alternative other than a true breast lift. BTW, how you scar elsewhere on your body is no indication of how you might scar on your breasts, a relatively forgiving area.

Answer: An anchor lift and implants would be best for your case Hi from Istanbul, thanks for your question. Based on your photos, it looks like you would need about a 3 cm lift. Since there is some excess skin both horizontally and vertically, the best results in your case would likely come from an anchor lift with a short horizontal scar, combined with round implants. This approach would help achieve the look you're aiming for while addressing your concerns. Hope this helps.

Answer: Lift recommended Implants need to be centred behind the nipples regardless of their size. Therefore, your implants would sit rather low on your chest without a lift.

Answer: Breast Augmentation with Lift? Based on your pictures, you should be able to do a breast augmentation with a breast lift around the areola only ("donut" lift). That would provide better symmetry between each side in terms of nipple position. It appears that one breast is larger than the other as well, so using different sized implants may be needed as well. The best thing to do is to have a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon and see what is recommended. I hope this helps.

Answer: Enough? You will need a breast lift with an anchor type scar pattern to obtain any adequate long-lasting results. Areolar reduction surgery alone with an implant will create a very widened and flattened looking nipple-areola complex.
