Question: I have had 3 children and my breasts are very saggy. My nipple hangs down to the bottom of my breast. I went to one surgeon who suggested a 'Crescent Breast Lift ' I will only have a small scar on the top of my nipple. When I looked on your website I saw other women who also had very droopy breasts like mine that you did a spair breast lift on. What is the difference between the lifts and which one will be the right surgery for me?
Answer: It sounds like you would be a candidate for a more effective breast lift than a crescent. I generally use a crescent lift to reposition or raise a nipple slightly. This is a minimally invasive lift with minimal lift advantages for patients with very droopy breasts and nipples at or below the breast crease. If a crescent lift is done with breast implants on very ptotic breasts this can elongate and distort the shape of the nipples and also make the breasts droop more because of the extra weight of the breast implant. Minimal lift = minimal changes to the breasts. The best thing for you to do is to come in for a consultation to be physically examined and informed in person what is the best surgery for you. I try to give my patients the most lift with the least amount of scarring and if you would benefit from a crescent breast lift I perform this surgery successfully on a regular basis.
