I'm 23 years old and have always had about a 2 inch gap between my breasts. I would like to fix this, as well as their saggy appearance. If possible, I would not like them any larger (I'm currently about a 36C) . I'd also like to decrease the size of the nipples. Are these realistic possibilities?
Answer: Breast Lift and Cleavage Thank you very much for your question and photographs. From your pictures, it would appear that you could benefit from a mastopexy, or breast lift. This would dramatically raise your breasts to a more proportionate level and give them a perkier appearance. Your nipple/areola can also be resized and repositioned for a dramatic improvement. Unfortunately, even with breast implants, there is nothing that can be done to change the distance between your breasts or add cleavage. I recommend that you schedule a consultation appointment with a board certified plastic surgeon, experienced in breast augmentation procedures. At this time, he/she will examine your breast tissue and discuss your aesthetic desires, creating a personalized breast augmentation to fit your induvial needs.

Answer: Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Will Help You Achieve Your Goals Based on your pictures you would benefit most from a breast lift. A breast lift (mastopexy) is often performed in patients with breasts that are adequately sized but saggy. This is a powerful procedure that can lift the nipple, remove excess skin (and sometimes breast tissue), and reshape the breasts to sit higher on the chest in a more youthful position. The spacing of the breasts is based on your anatomy and is somewhat fixed, unfortunately. The trade off is a scar on the breast around the nipple with a possible extension down towards the breast crease creating a lollipop or inverted “T” pattern. The size and location of the scar depends on the amount of lift needed, the patient’s anatomy, and surgeon preference.See the link below for more information on breast lifts. A detailed examination will help delineate the best surgical treatment. Digital three-dimensional simulations can help you better visualize your potential outcome. Consultation with a plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery would be the next best step.

Answer: Breast Lift Thank you for your question.Based upon the photos that you included with your post you seem to be a great candidate for a bilateral breast lift, or mastopexy, to correct the breast sag that you are experiencing. A breast lift will afford you a significantly more perky breast shape, while also decreasing the side of your areolae and lifting them to a more appropriate height. At the time of a breast lift, the excess skin of your breasts will be removed and the breast tissue can be re-positioned, ultimately reshaping your breasts. I understand that the gap or distance between your breasts is of concern to you, however, this is something innate to you and something that can not be changed. With that said it is possible that the breasts may appear slightly closer together once lifted.If you are interested in exploring your candidacy for a breast lift further, I would recommend scheduling a consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. I hope you find this helpful and I wish you all the best.

Answer: Breast Lift d_el_h. I appreciate your concerns, and from your photos, it appears that you are an excellent candidate for Mastopexy, breast lift surgery. Only skin is removed, your nipple areolar complexes can be reduced and moved upwards, and it appears that you have ample breast tissue to provide cleavage. Perky breasts without implants can be accomplished. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon. Good luck!
