In my 20s, am I a good candidate for a periareolar breast lift after weight loss? (Photos)

Congrats on your weight loss! Based on limited photos - it appears that you would benefit from a mastopexy/breast lift with slight reduction on a larger side in order to achieve perky breasts. You have enough breast volume - so you may not even need implants. I suggest that you seek an experienced Board Certified PS and discuss your options

Hello and thank you for your question! Based on your photos there is moderate to severe ptosis with the nipple/areola complex far below the breast fold. There is asymmetry in the size and width of the breasts. Based on these photos, in my opinion, you are not a good candidate for a peri-areolar mastopexy and would need an incision that goes around the areola, down to the bottom of the breast fold and across the bottom (anchor incision/Wise pattern). This will be able to raise the nipple/areola complex sufficiently back to a more youthful position and also tighten the breast skin and tissues in the horizontal and vertical dimensions to give you the best results. Fat grafting or an implant may be added to increase the fullness and contour of the upper part of the breast if desired.

Dear Fearless8855,
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.
