How would a crescent lift with saline implants look? (Photos)

The procedure is done on an outpatient basis
under intravenous sedation and local or general anesthesia. As mentioned above
there are a variety of techniques for these operations.  Lollipop lift (vertical lift), donut
(periareola) lift, Benelli lift, crescent lift, anchor lift (inverted T). Most
commonly, we prefer the lollipop or donut lift because of the shape, small
scars and easier healing. Although the “anchor-shape” or inverted “T” incision
is still more popular in the United States, it represents an older technique
with extensive scarring and a less optimal result in many cases. These newer
techniques are utilized in the vast majority of cases, the rare exception being
extremely large breasts. The nipple-areola complex is repositioned higher, the
excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in
a more normal position.

The crescent lift removes a small amount of
skin at the top of the areola. We find that there is very little lift and the
areola becomes oval in shape and distorted with this method.



 The
insertion of an implant as well, may be advisable to restore superior fullness,
which is lost with aging and after pregnancy despite the rest of the breast
being overly large.  Fat grafting can be
used instead of implants to improve the contours of the breast. This is the
#NaturalBreastLIft or #CaliforniaBreastLift

#AugmentationMastopexy: This involves placing a small implant at the time
of the #mastopexy to add volume or contour the upper breast.   Another option is the #NaturalBreastLift or
#CaliforniaBreastLift which places fat in the upper breast instead of an
implant to help the shape of the breast.

Based on  the description of the results you wish to achieve, I think you should have a discussion with your plastic surgeon about implants with a full mastopexy. This would involve  an incision that goes around the areola  and a vertical scar that meets  with an incision  along the entire  breast fold. In my experience, that is the only way to hold a breast implant in more elevated position on your chest wall. I suspect that  placing  even a large implant  without  the necessary incisions, will only  create a full low riding breast  with no upper pole fullness.  If you feel that this is an acceptable alternative, I would still perform a lift of the areola alone, to center it on the implant. 

Also speak to your surgeon about scar treatments after surgery, such as silicone creams and laser therapy.

Thank you very much for enquire.After having analyzed all the information and photos provided to us, I realize that you have very sagging and small breasts. In this regard, you need volume (implants) and projection (the lift): Breast Augmentation w/Breast Lift.I recommend you to use microtexturized highly cohesive silicon implant ("gummy bear" implants), with high projection, and 550ml will be excelent on you, to fill the breasts properly.Finally, to perform the breast lift I recommend a Periareolar Round Block Breast Lift ("Benelli mastopexy"), which has an unnoticed scar around the areola, and if we see (in the surgery) that we can't obtain adecuate projection just with the Benelli Lift, we have to perform a "Lollipop breast lift".Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-
