Age - 26. Sagging breast due to weight gain and subsequent weight loss. I only want a modest lift, as in nipple positioning a little and higher and pointing straight. I don't want implants. Is periareolar mastopexy an option? Do surgeons undertake periareolar mastopexy if the patients have grade 2 or 3 ptosis? Also will removal of fat from the sides ( bra bulges) without a lift worsen the sagging ?
Answer: Breast lift I think you need a full breast lift with anchor (Wise) scars. A donut or periareolar mastopexy will not make your breasts look good. You can remove the fat from the side of your chest without having it affect your breast sagging, but this could also be done at the same time as a breast lift. Hope that helps.

Answer: Breast lift Thanks for your question! Your breasts are droopy enough that I would only do a vertical or maybe even full mastopexy. A donut or crescent lift will not provide enough lift to make you happy. Good luck!

Answer: Is donut mastopexy an option From the submitted photos a donut mastopexy would not be recommended. From the degree of ptosis a standard breast lift is needed which would remove excess skin and raise the position of the nipple. you can also consider a lift with autoaugmentation. This approach uses your own tissue to give more upper pole fullness. This is different than a fat transfer. I've included a video I hope you find helpful.

Answer: Mastopexy You are a great candidate for a mastopexy. The key to getting the highest, tightest, most durable lift is to remove the lower aspect of the breast. You will have the standard “anchor“ scar to achieve the proper lift. Periareolar approach is useless. Some would recommend the use of mesh which is good, but with extra cost. Liposuction of the front bra is usually need to complete the contour of the breast and transfer of the fat to the upper aspect of the breast is an excellent option to maximise your shape (not necessary, but an added perk if desired). I hope this helps. Thank you for the inquiry!

Answer: Wise Pattern (anchor) works best for your anatomy Just based off your photos (views are limited and no physical exam) - usually with grade 2-3 ptosis, history of weight loss, breast fold extends into the axillary line - best option to really address all concerns and re-create the best shape would be to do a wise pattern breast lift. If you did do just a periaerolar lift, you have to be ready for breast to look similar to how they are now except your nipple / areola will be in a slightly higher better position. (This might be an option if you are willing to accept that and see how you heal and buy yourself more years of not having the anchor scar) Eventually if the goal is to address all the concerns is to be ready for the wise pattern lift.
