Crescent breast lift for nipple asymmetry? (Photo)

Unfortunately your breast footprint is low and cant be changed with a cresent lift. Among your nipple position is normal; a reverse T skin resection with inframamarian fold elevation may be a suitible option for this situation.

Dear iiixixcvii,

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.

The crescent lift tends to elongate the areola over time. However, the peri-areolar lift should work well and keep your areola circular.
