I have always known my breasts are some what saggier than most other girls I knew. But I recently saw a site which describes breast ptosis in 3 degrees from mild-moderate-extreme. Is it true that if the nipple is just 3cm under the fold then they have extreme ptosis? If so, where does that leave breasts where the nipple is 12inches below the fold? How rare is ptosis as extreme as mine, and will they get worse? Also, are my areolas a lot larger than average, and will they get bigger?

Answer: Breast lift candidate, some advices: Thank you very much for sharing your concerns with us.After having analyzed all the information and photos sended to us, i can realize that you have uneven and sagging breasts, with more pronounced fall on the right side than the left. Also you have very large areolas related breasts size/shape.In my practice for cases like yours where the breasts are very sagging but with a good size i perform a Breast Lift - Symmetrization Surgery, removing more tissue on the right side than the left to match both breasts.I also recommend an Areolar Reduction to get an appropiate areolar diameter, with hidden scar (a circumference line surrounding the areola).There is no need to use implants, because you have very good breasts volume, and at your young age, your breasts are mostly made up of fibro-glandular tissue, therefore they will have very good consistency to the touch after Breast Lift.Respectfully,Dr. Emmanuel Mallol Cotes.-

Answer: Breast Ptosis Thank you for the question. Your breasts clearly demonstrate third degree ptosis. By definition, if the central point of your nipple areola complex (NAC) is more than 3 cm below your breast crease (IMF), you have Grade 3 ptosis. This is considered severe ptosis. I recommend a lift (also known as mastopexy) to my patients with similar breasts to yours. This is a powerful operation where the NAC is lifted to the level of the IMF. Be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon who is comfortable performing this procedure. Do your homework and ask to see before and after photos. Good luck.
