Id really rather have a small line of scar a few inches above my nipples, on my chest, than scarring from any of the traditional lift methods. When I pinch the skin, my breasts sit naturally right where I want them.
Answer: Breast Lift Thank you for your inquiry.The crescent lift is a minor lift of just the areola that is performed along the top of the areolar border to slightly lift the areolar/nipple complex. It doesn’t lift the breast much and can distort the shape of the areola.I would recommend seeking the advice of a plastic surgeon and having a consultation to help you determine the best option for your situation.

Answer: Breast lift There is a reason why the vertical and anchor lift are the norm. Keep in mind that scars on the breast tend to heal extremely well. Schedule a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options. My best,Dr. Sheila Nazarian@drsheilanazarian on Instagram

Answer: Is it possible to lift a breast by pulling up the skin of the chest? Interesting question, but no PS in their right mind would place scars on top of the breasts like you describe. I agree with you on the unappealing appearance of traditional breast lift scars. Take a look at the video below and see if the scar placements appeal to you. Implants were not used in this patient. Only her own tissue.Best wishes and kind regards, Gary Horndeski M.D.

Answer: Breast Lift Hi Rynagade!I suppose so, but can't say for sure without photos or an exam. Here are some tips. Be sure to see only a board certified plastic surgeon (by ABPS - The American Board of Plastic Surgery) who is a member of ASAPS (The American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) and or a member of ASPS (The American Society of Plastic Surgeons). Make sure they offer multiple incision choices. All the best, "Dr. Joe"

Answer: Consider a Peri-Areolar or Donut Mastopexy A peri-areolar or donut mastopexy can elevate the nipple as much as 2 inches with the only scar being around the outside edge of the areola. This is a well camouflaged scar since there is a natural color change between the areolar skin and the surrounding breast skin. This is an outpatient procedure and the recovery is very straight forward. For those women who are good candidates for this procedure the results are excellent. Unfortunately, if it is necessary to lift the nipples beyond 2 inches one of the other approaches is necessary. For more information about breast lifts please check out our website below and/or call our office and we'll be happy to discuss it with you.Best wishes!
