Would a breast lift get rid of the side rolls (arrows on picture) and is that considered breast tissue as well? I am a c/d now with rolls so should I look at possible implants as well?
Answer: Breast Lift with Extended Lateral Excision of Skin Plus Liposuction of Side Rolls Thank you for your question about Breast Lift. More pictures with arms raised out and posterior shots of each side would be helpful.It is very likely that complete correction would require a combination of breast lift with extended lateral excision to remove excess amounts of axillary skin +/- liposuction of the side rolls too, so that the extended lateral incision doesn't wrap all the way around to the middle of your back.Breast implants would help add shape to your breasts, but great care would need to be taken to prevent lateral migration of your implants.To be sure what is best for you, see two or more experienced, board-certified Plastic Surgeons in your area for a complete evaluation to make sure you are a good candidate and that it is safe for you to have Breast Lift Surgery.I hope this helps.

Answer: Breast lift? Would it get rid of the side rolls? Yes, it appears that you would benefit from a mastopexy/Augmentation as well as the excision of rolls at the same time.

Answer: Breast lift? Would it get rid of the side rolls Thanks for including photos, as they allow me to answer simply--"No."You would need a upper back lift, and this would best NOT be done at the time of breast lift incisions, as extending the inframammary crease skin incision laterally to remove this roll of extra skin and fat would compromise the circulation to the lateral breast skin flap. Dead skin could result. Trust me, you do not want this.Your anatomy require more than treatment of the "dog ears" after breast lift surgery, and would require a separate operation for your best safety and outcome. Best wishes! Dr. Tholen

Answer: Breast lift and side rolls Your side rolls are not part of the breast, but could be addressed at the same time as your breast lift. You could have an augmentation/lift and then the sides rolls removed with liposuction or direct excision at the same time. Good luck.

The lift along with not address this. Use of liposuction at the time of surgery can certainly improve these areas.
