Can a breast lift and/or reduction be done without any cutting around the nipple? (photos)

The breast lift component requires an incision around the nipple areolar complex.  At the time of your consultation your plastic surgeon would be able to inform you regarding the specifics in your circumstance. This operative procedure provides a high level of patient satisfaction.

A breast lift, known as a mastopexy, is designed to restore the ideal shape of the breast.  In your case, it specifically is designed to move the nipple/areola back to its more desired position centered on the breast mound.  When the nipple is below the crease under the breast (known as the inframammary crease), it is referred to as third degree breast ptosis.  Correction of this ptosis requires surgically moving the nipple/areola.  This means making an incision around the nipple and areola in order to accomplish the procedure.There are a variety of techniques, but they all have one thing in common, relocation of the nipple and areola with surgical incisions.  You should consider meeting with a board certified Plastic Surgeon to review your options.  Ideally, these incisions will fade over time and will become imperceptible.Good luck with your surgery!
