Periareolar Mastopexy and Breast Augmentation Surgery
There is an operation which will restore a pleasing size and balance to the areola and allow for a proportionate augmentation with an implant. The operation is known as a periareolar mastopexy or a periareolar breast lift.
When is breast augmentation not enough?
If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, it is important for you to realize that breast implants alone will not solve every breast problem. If I were to describe the ideal patient for breast augmentation surgery, she would have a relatively well-toned breast structure with very little of what plastic surgeons refer to as ptosis. The word is pronounced with a silent “p” and is perhaps a gentler way of saying, “sagging” or “drooping.”
