Do I have lateral breast displacement or something else? (Photo)

Thriving7313Feb 17, 2022
My mommy makeover was in April. I had a anchor lift with 380cc high profile silicone implants. while laying down I've noticed I'm quite uncomfortable I think its because the way they slide and shift to the sides. my left side feels worse. They also don't look good in a bikini with the gap I have. do I have lateral breast displacement or something else? I find they are not as full as I wanted in the upper pole of the breast either. Do they look ok?

The crescent or donut lift would not be effective. 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. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be...

Hello, every mastopexy technique results in scarring, by definition and without exception. There are ways to achieve some degree of nipple lift with implants alone, and some mastopexy techniques result in less scarring, but none of this is new or innovative. Vasileios Vasilakis, MD. Double...

Implants can accentuate the sagging, and their weight can make it worse. That’s probably why your surgeon recommended a lift. However, if you understand this and clearly explain your goals to your surgeon, they may not recommend the lift.
