Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: What is a crescent breast lift and who is a good candidate for this surgery?
Answer: A Crescent breast lift is a type of breast lift that involves the resection of a crescent shaped area of skin from the superior aspect of the areola of the breast. This breast lift technique is most commonly used to correct slight differences in nipple-areola heights on the breasts. This breast lift is not recommended for patients who are in need of a major breast lift.
