I am a c cup and want to have an areola reduction as well as a breast lift without implants, however i dont want a vertical scar. I am 19 years old and my sagging is minimal, i want to lift 1-1.5 inches, could I get away with a periareolar lift or would i need a traditional lift with a vertical sacar?
Answer: Periareola Lift Hi icmc98. Thank you for your question! During a physical exam, I examine the position of the breast on the chest, position of the inframammary fold, and the position of the nipple to the inframammary fold. Depending on the patient's skin quality (thickness, stretch marks, inelasticity, etc.), a periareola lift can sometimes do a good job of lifting in particular when combined with an implant. Also, I take into consideration the actual size of the breast and where the sagging is present (lower pole of the breast or the entire breast).

Answer: Periareolar lift Everyone has different experience with this lift, but personally I dislike it. I find the following complications happen many times if not all the time:1. Irregular (jagged) scar around the areola2. Increase the areola size3. Flattens the breast4. Very little liftI would promote no lift at all or a vertical scar. Best of luck!BH

Answer: Periareolar lift Thank you for your question! The periareolar lift mainly raises the nipple into a better position. Its only good for lifting the nipple a minimal distance. It wont do too much to the breast architecture. The only way to really know what lift would give you the best result would be to evaluate you in person and take measurements. Please make sure you are being evaluated by a board certified plastic surgeon.Ankur Mehta MD

Answer: Great question good morning!Periareolar lifts are great tools to adjust nipple vector and areolar size with a very modest actual lifting of the breast. When you see thick unattractive scars from a periareolar lift it is due in many cases to a surgeon trying to make this procedure perform more lift than it is designed to do.You are a young woman. It would be ideal not to do a full lift on your breasts unless absolutely necessary. Be sure you are consulting with a board certified plastic surgeon that has many years of experience dealing with these issues.I hope this helps.
