How Much Does Ksl Hair Transplant Cost In Edinburgh

I'm 32 years old and have a pendulous breast with the nipple directed outward and downward. I would like to undergo a minimal breast lift to achieve a similar appearance to my other breast. Is the crescent incision or the donut incision a better option for this? Additionally, is it possible to undergo this surgery using local anesthesia?

There are several techniques available to correct your case, including the crescent incision, donut incision, or sometimes a circumvertical incision. The best approach for you will depend on the degree of breast sagging, the elasticity of your skin, and whether there is a need to reduce the areola compared to the other side.

Thank you for your inquiry. It's important to note that a donut lift is typically recommended when a breast implant is used. Using a purse-string technique may result in breast flattening and distortion. On the other hand, a superior crescent lift is suitable for minor lifts of around one to two centimeters. Local anesthesia may be an option in this case. To provide a more accurate recommendation, a consultation is necessary, and it would be helpful to have pictures for a better assessment. Best of luck to you.

If you have a truly pendulous breast with the nipple pointed downwards, a breast lift with a vertical component may be necessary, depending on your degree of sagging. Crescent lifts can only raise the nipple areola slightly and may cause the areola to appear flattened. I recommend consulting with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon for an examination. Focus on obtaining the best outcome to achieve your desired look and let a professional suggest the best technique to realize that result.
