What type of procedure would be best suited for my moderate saggy, asymmetrical breasts?

Question

I’m 24 years old & I’ve always hated my breasts. They have never been round nor perky & to this day remain one of my biggest insecurities. :( I do not want bigger boobs, and as natural a look as possible…would a bellasoma lift/procedure give me that result? I literally just want perkier/rounder/mod symmetrical breasts, and potentially smaller areolas. This is a huge vulnerability for me, I experience lot of shame & distress around the way my breasts look. Thanks in advance!

Good morning,
The bellasoma will leave you flat and wide- the vertical is really the way you lift and project. However, a small implant would give you a better result regardless of which lift you choose!

To achieve a perkier, rounder appearance will require a lift and augmentation. It may be possible to achieve the lift with a donut mastopexy technique, which would address areola size at the same time. Augmentation will add the round shape you are looking for and add volume to your upper breast ,which will make your breasts more perky as well. Augmentation can be achieved with either an implant or your own tissue by way of liposuction and fat grafting. An in person examination will help determine which combination of techniques are best suited for your goals.

Hello,
Thank you for the question.
Based on your photos, you appear to be a good candidate for a full mastopexy (breast lift) which will put your nipples into the correct position, decrease the size of nipple/areola and allow excess skin to be taken away, giving you a more youthful looking breast. Some people are a little apprehensive to the full breast lift due to the scars, but typically they do very well. 
Donut breast lift can help decrease the size of the areola and elevate the nipples, but it will not change the overall shape of the breasts. 
Sometimes, breast implants can also be added in order to increase upper pole breast volume.
I would encourage you to seek a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to further discuss your options, specific techniques, concerns and expectations.
I hope this helps.Best regards, Dr. Karanetz

You would be a good candidate for vertical (lollipop) breast lift. Considering that your breasts are small, augmentation with small implants should be considered. Good luck.

Dear Cool146184,
my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. If you are considering a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
