Hello, 9 months ago I had a vertical breast lift. My breasts are saggy and asymmetrical, I know that I will need an anchor lift, but I am more worried about my right areola which is only 2cm and has scars. what can I do to make my areola bigger, how can I stretch it? This worries me very much and I am looking for all possible ways. I am trying to gain weight now, will this help?
Answer: Breast lift The vertical lift is a good operation but mist of the time it doesn’t look good unless there is an implant for upper fullness. With a revision your nipples can be improved

Answer: Convert to anchor scar pattern You have glandular dropout with unaddressed vertical skin excess. This can be managed with excision of lower pole breast skin and mesh.

Answer: Bellesoma Method At this time, I recommend The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained if not injured during your previous surgery.

Answer: Breast Revision Thank you for your question. Typically, vertical mastopexy is are prone to bottoming out. A large portion of my practice is dedicated to revision breast surgery and I have been in practice for 28 years. In your case, you have very little volume above your areola and a considerable amount of breast tissue below your areola. Pioneers a surgery termed " reductive Augmentation" in which I perform a breast augmentation to fill the upper pole, a revision mastopexy, and excision of the inferior-bottom breast tissue. You are an excellent candidate for this. For now, tattooing of the areola works very well. Best wishes to you.

Answer: Bottoming out One of the problems with a vertically based breast lift is increase in the nipple to breast crease distance. In your case, most of the implant volume sits in the lower pole of the breast. The inframammary breast crease needs to be repair and the lift converted to a vertical and transverse incision. The nipple to IMF distance should be around 7cm at most meaning that skin needs to be removed from the lower pole. I'd also suggest using a mesh or internal bra to support the implant. Once the implant rests behind the areola it might stretch it out to a more normal anatomic size. A tattoo could be done to address some of the loss of pigment.
