I'm a 25yo who has had saggy breasts since they developed. I am currently a 40G. Once I reach my weight loss goal, I would like a breast lift or reduction. I am concerned about the result, as I have more fullness of my upper breast than I have seen in other women. I am not bothered by the size of my breasts, but I would like a more shapely result, more even sized, and the results to last longer. Will my breasts look similar to when I lift my arms in the air post op? Advice? Thanks!

Answer: Would a breast lift or reduction be the better option to help me achieve a more even, shapely result? Hello @xofu, thank you for your question. You could consider a breast lift with BRALift technique and it will for sure enhance the shape and projection of your breast. This procedure will remove excess skin, reposition breast tissue in order to create a better shape, symmetry and cleavage. The scar can be varied, mostly the inverted T-shaped scar is used however in my experience of 23 years I have made a modification to improve the extension of the scar being the L shape for minimal scarring and the most adequate result. I link a video to shed more light. A consultation is vital to establishing a surgical plan that meets your needs, meets your expectations, and takes into account what is possible. I link a video that sheds more light on the matter. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

Answer: Breast lift Dear xofu, based on your photos, it looks like you have severe asymmetry so you will need reduction of larger breast and lift. 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.
