I’m 30 years old with no children. I’ve always been unhappy with my breast shape as they are widely spaced, triangular/conical with puffy areolas. However they appear more “normal” when cold. I have recently lost 50lbs. What procedure would be best to improve their shape? Would I be able to avoid an anchor/lollipop scar? Thank you
Answer: Implant augmentation only will imporve the shape of your breasts Only surgery to insert an implant can improve the shape of your breasts. You may need to puncture the glandular tissue if necessary. If you want to improve to Areola, you should also do peri-areolar mastopexy. In this case, a circular scar is formed around the areola. In your case anchor/lollipop scar seems to be avoidable.

Answer: Do I need a breast lift? You might not need one. Tubular-probably not. 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. They then get to 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. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: Tubular breast question Thanks for your inquiry and picture, a peri-areolar mastopexy with or without breast implant depending on your size goals would help correct the tubular appearance of your breast, please seek the opinion of a board certified plastic surgeon.

Answer: Lift vs implant Hello, thank you for your question. Determining what surgery to be performed is first figuring out if it is just the shape you are unhappy with or the size. If you want to go bigger then implants would be required however this may also mean you would need some sort of combined lift/reshaping. It is is very difficult to tell just from the photo alone. An in person consultation would be optimal. If you just want a breast reshaping this will most likely involve a lollipop scar.

Answer: Do I have tubular breasts From your photo it appears you lack upper pole fullness to the breasts. Implants can help to reshape the breasts and add volume to the top portion of the breasts. An in person evaluation is needed to determine if other procedures are recommended for you.
