I had a breast lift and breast implants 3 months ago. I am relatively happy with my results but in the last month it seems my breasts have dropped to the point they look saggy. I had a lift (incision around the nipple) and am wondering if I should of opted for the full lollipop lift?

Answer: Breast lift - aroind the nipple scar or lollipop A key part of a breast lift is going to be the tightening of the skin envelope around the breast. If the scar is limited to around the nipple not as much tightening of the lower pole skin is possible. This can mean that over time the result of the lift will " bottom out".The other issue can be that there is more tension on the scar around the nipple will allow stretching and dilatation of the nipple.The solution to these is to tighten the skin elsewhere and that is where the vertical scar of the lollipop comes into it. Tightening this skin supports the lower pole of the breast and minimisies the chances of bottoming out, and takes the tension off the scar around the areola so minimises the risk of stretching. The down side of course is the scar - and only each patient can assess in their mind the pros and cons of each.I hope that is of some helpJeremy Hunt

Answer: Sagging breast 3 months post augmentation It does appear that your periaereolar scar has stretched and this may account for the drop in your breast. It is best that you discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
