I had a consultation with a very successful, highly thought of surgeon, he told me that he considered the droop of my breasts quite severe and that repositioning the nipples while still attached could cause problems (with the blood supply to the nipple?) So he thought that in my case it would be less of a risk to just totally remove them and reattach the nipple afterwards. He warned me that I would more than likely lose sensitivity and the possibly I could lose the tips of my nipples!
Answer: Breast lift There is many ways to perform techniques and this way is but one that has been described by this surgeon. I can see why he has said this but there are other techniques available too that might helpThe problem is that you have thin skin with a ptotic breast and a narrow base.Perhaps to help you reach a definite decision you could see another couple of surgeons tooGood luck!

Answer: Breast Lift Techniques, Incisions and Scarring Hi Postey1981, Breast lift surgery aims to re-volumize the breast with either and natural implant or fat grafting followed by nipple repositioning using the lift. I prefer to use a vertical incision (lollipop pattern) breast reduction technique instead of the anchor scar pattern for more significant lifts. This reduces more noticeable scarring than usual. Mastopexy that requires less than 2cm of lift only needs a donut incision. Every incision is also closed in five precise layers without using reactive sutures that can cause inflammation and eventual scarring. If you are considering a breast lift, you should consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss your options and make sure your surgeon understands your goals. Only after a thorough examination you will get more information and recommendations.

Answer: Nipple removal during breast lift? Is it ever necessary? hello thank you for your question and provided information as well.. not necessary take off the nipples only reconstruction.based on your photos, I see that you are a good candidate for a breast lift with implant, in your case ideally you are evaluated by a certified plastic surgeon in person to determine the technique and amount of cc you need to achieve the result you want.

Answer: Breast lift Hello and thank you for your question. Based on your photograph, you are a great candidate for a breast lift. I do not think you need a free nipple graft (removal of nipple). A breast lift can be designed to result in an improved shape and contour of your breasts while minimizing scar appearance. Make sure you specifically look at before and after pictures of real patients who have had this surgery performed by your surgeon and evaluate their results. The most important aspect is to find a surgeon you are comfortable with. I recommend that you seek consultation with a qualified board-certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you in person. Best wishes and good luck. Richard G. Reish, M.D. FACS Harvard-trained plastic surgeon

Answer: Maintain nipple sensation with The Bellesoma Method You are an excellent candidate for 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 and the ability to breast feed are maintained. The nipples can be reduced to the size desired.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.
