Would a breast lift help correct asymmetry focused in the breast fold area? (photo)

I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants, and they choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Considering significant atrophy of breast tissue, you would benefit from breast lift with implants. More symmetry regarding intramammary fold, areolas and breast volume can be achieved with well executed lift/augmentation. Good luck.

Your breasts are asymmetrical in volume, shape and position. The technique I recommend is 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. Later, fat transfers can be performed if additional volume is desired.

Dear aliasjones,
my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity. If you are considering surgery, I would suggest you consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination, you will get more information and recommendations.

You are certainly a good candidate for a breast lift with implants.,it’s a tricky operation so make sure you go to a surgeon who has done many. Also don’t get a donut lift. Some surgeons may recommend it but it’s a recipe for a poor result.

An examination is needed to see if your fold is really lower or if one shoulder is lower. Your photo does not show your shoulders, but you do not appear to be straight. However, a lift with implants can help correct the asymmetry.

You appear to be a very good candidate for a silicone breast augmentation combined with a mastopexy (breast lift). The lift may be either a periareolar (around the nipple) or lollipop depending on the size of the implant chosen and the excess skin remaining. The breast fold may be adjusted during the procedure.

Hi and welcome to our forum!
From your photos, I note that the right breast appears somewhat larger than the left. The nipple areolar complexes are symmetric and reside at the same "altitude" on the chest wall. The distance from the top of the breast bone to the nipples is increased, there is loss of superior pole breast volume, and there is moderate sag.
The folds beneath the breasts are not visible in your frontal view photo, but a 1.25 cm difference can be corrected surgically.
If you are satisfied with your breast size, a lift with reduction of the larger breast will elevate the nipple areolar complexes into anatomic position, will remove excess stretched out skin, will decrease preexisting minor asymmetries, will increase superior pole breast volume and will conify the shape of the breasts. If you wish more size, add a breast augmentation.
Visit a board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion.
