I saw videos of surgeons using both methods, either just using one of the 3 types of incisions, or others using those incisions but also tucking the nipple under the breast tissue then sewing it completely then cutting a circle to take the nipple out. Why some use this and some use that?

Answer: Nipple relocation During a mastopexy I do not remove the nipple. I make an incision around the nipple, it remains attached. The excess skin is removed and the nipple is sewn to the new location. This maximizes the chances of preserving sensation and minimizes the risks of nipple loss.

Answer: During a breast lift, will the surgeon lift my nipple, thus lifting my entire breast or tuck it under, sew it then take it out? Hello and thank you for your question. While it is difficult to assess your unique situation from your photographs alone, it does appear that your nipples will need to be repositioned to achieve the natural look you want. Every surgeon has their own preference on the technique used to achieve this goal, but one of the most common is to create a lollipop incision that extends around the areola and down the lower half of the breast to the crease. With this incision, it is simple to create the long-lasting lift you want while placing your areola and nipple in an aesthetically pleasing position on the breast. The precise technique used for the nipple repositioning is not as important as the skill of your surgeon. I recommend you look for a qualified, experienced plastic surgeon who can tailor this procedure to your specific needs and desired outcome for the best possible results. Best of luck to you!
