Can someone please advise what grade of ptosis this appears to be?

Good afternoon!
You don't have ptosis, you just need a capsulotomy so that your implant can fully drop and fluff- no lift needed, just a little adjustment of your capsules! eezy peezy!

You do not have ptosis. Your breast implants are placed high on the chest wall, totally submuscular and the breast tissue is falling off inferior. The technique I recommend is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. I do not recommend changing implants or lowering the pocket as this will result in inferior descent of the breasts.

Best Wishes,

Dear beaniebaby65,
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 a surgery, I would suggest you to consult a board-certified plastic surgeon. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.
