Before and after tubular breast correction via mastopexy (breast lift) in an 18 year old woman. Her breasts were droopy as if she had lost weight or had children – which she had not! She disliked the shape and just wanted to look like a normal 18 year old.
A breast lift reshaped her breasts by rearranging her breast tissue higher up on her chest and creating a pocket (as for a breast augmentation), filling it with her own breast tissue. This is known as an “auto-augmentation”.
The diameter of her areolas was reduced, and her nipples were lifted to a more youthful position on her perkier and rounder breasts. Liposuction removed excess fat from her armpit region (axillary rolls) and the sides of the breasts.
Follow up photos are shown just two months after surgery. Her incisions are pink, as expect from increased blood flow. She had returned to college and is actively doing scar therapy.
