Deflated breasts with Grade 1 ptosis (nipple above the inframammary crease) typically will do well with breast implants only and not need a lift. Breast lifts, either peri-areolar mastopexy or vertical mastopexy, are usually reserved for nipples that are below the inframammary fold.

A positive ANA by itself does not prove an autoimmune disease, and it is not automatically a contraindication to breast augmentation. The concern is the combination of a relatively high titer, baseline fatigue, pending follow-up markers, and surgery being only days away. For an elective...

Moving the breasts closer is partly limited by your natural breast footprint, chest width, nipple position, and how far apart the breast pockets sit.

James N. Romanelli, MD, FACS

Dear Cheerful I have many patients with large areolas: most want them reduced proportionally to their breasts, but some do not. In the same way, it appears from our photo that in addition to implants a breast lift would give a more "ideal" shape and nipple position. But......you can have...
