Mammogram w/ breast lift? (photo)

I
Intellectual25050Jan 20, 2025

Hello, I am interested in a breast lift (no implants) and I do not want a mammogram. I am fine with an ultrasound but for personal reasons I will not be doing any mammograms. Are plastic surgeons ok with an ultrasound as an alternative or will I have to forgo getting a breast lift (which I’m willing to do if it means a mandatory mammogram)?

Thank you for your query. It seems that you had a vertical scar only mastopexy. The nipples do appear be a little higher than ideal and an infra-mammary incision along with skin excision can help. However you will have to balance the risk-benefit ratio of having another procedure on your...

You have completely normal breast shape with very little, if any, ptosis (breast of nipple sag). If anything, you may desire some upper pole fulness where a small saline implant or fat transfer can suffice. It all depends on what you want, but a breast lift is not in your future in my opinion....

Your plastic surgeon is correct. The best way to address asymmetry is by adjusting the breast soft tissues in the form of a unilateral mastoepexy. This will remove some tissue and relocate the nipple-areolar complex higher on the breast mound. I find that correcting asymmetry with volume (either...
