I do NOT want big breasts, but I don't want my sagging, mushy, 34 "barely B" breasts to be any smaller. The areolae are huge as well. I hate them. I need a lift and areola reduction, but the disfiguring vertical scar I see from lifts is a deal breaker. Any options???

Answer: Breast Lift Question It is very difficult to accurately assess your particular situation from the description alone. Generally speaking, while the vertical scar may be the deal breaker for you, it is also probably going to be the deal maker for you. When the breasts sag and droop they typically have loose and stretched out skin across the lower aspect of the breasts. When this skin is removed, the best way to then tighten up the breasts is to bring the skin together in the horizontal and vertical directions under the nipples. I will also tell you that it does not always take a big implant to make a big difference for patients and just because someone has implants it does not mean that they necessarily have big breasts. You might be a good candidate for a minor lift with a small implant but you may need a vertical scar if you want your areola reduced and your skin tightened. I would encourage you to have a couple of different consultations to really see what your different options may be.

Answer: Periareolar breast lift The periareolar breast lift involves an incision around the areola without the vertical scar. It also allows your surgeon to resize your areolae. It is not an appropriate breast lift if you have significant sagging.
