Am I a good candidate for a lift? Can my breast become closer together? (Photo)

Hi, thank you for sharing your question. You are a good candidate for a breast lift. This would be done under general anesthesia and the recovery time would be between 7-14 days.

Thanks for your question. From your picture, it seems like you're a good candidate for a breast lift. Note, if keeping or increasing your size matters, a breast lift with implants would be best. At my practice, I perform the breast lift under general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. I recommend scheduling a consult for a proper evaluation. Please always consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Take care, Dr. Moises Salama, board certified plastic surgeon.

Thank you for your inquiry! It looks like from your photos that you would be a great candidate for a Mastopexy procedure done under general anesthesia. We would love to meet you in person or virtually to discuss your surgical options and create a surgical plan targeted towards your goals. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon like myself to help you reach your goals and create a plan for you!

You are a great candidate for a breast lift. No general anesthesia is required. We actually prefer awake patients. It's safe and very comfortable. Check out our social sites to see results and operative videos to see how it's done. Let's start with a virtual consult and I'll go over all the details.

"Based on your concerns about droopiness and distance between your breasts, you are a good candidate for a breast lift. A lift can raise and reshape your breasts, but to bring them closer together and improve fullness, implants are often recommended.
A breast lift typically takes 2-3 hours and usually requires general anesthesia for optimal safety and comfort, though some surgeons may offer twilight sedation as an option. Discuss your anesthesia preferences and surgical goals with your surgeon to ensure the best results for your needs."

It is an option to have surgery with just propofol sedation (i.e. without intubation) for this procedure. A breast lift would most definitely help to raise and reshape your breast. Relative to your breast and chest, your areolas are large and all of the areolar pigment may not be removed during your lift surgery, but can likely be removed at a later time. The procedure itself takes anywhere from 1.5hrs to 2.5hrs typically with a recovery time of 2-4 weeks.

Based on a limited photo- it appears that you would benefit from mastopexy to reshape your breasts. In our Practice we use general Anesthesia for all major surgeries. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS to review your options in detail

You have very distinctively a beyond 3rd degree saggy, and the combination of Tuberous breast with these obvious features: tubular shape, constricted (underdeveloped) inner and lower pole of breast, very large areolas, wide gap in between the breast and bulging nipples. So your procedure will be more a reconstructive approach to improve all of the issues your breast has.
Major breast lift, areola reduction, if you don’t want implants the gap in between your breast won’t change. Definitely it is possible to use your own tissues to create projection, but your breast will end up like large B cup. No perky no round.
If you want your breast bigger than B cup, less wide gap in between, perky cleavage you need implants associated with the breast reconstruction.
We always do breast surgery under regional and sedation. Never general anesthesia.
Be encouraged.
Dr. Cardenas

You are a suitable candidate for breast lift, but with breast lift, your decollate area will not be closer, and for this, an implant is required.We recommend that this surgery be performed under general anesthesia.

Good question. You are a good candidate for a lift. It usually take about 2 hours to perform, but this depends on your surgeon. The method of anesthesia is also a matter of discussion between you and your surgeon. “Twilight” may me an option but this is often surgeon specific preference.
