Breast Droop 

Breast Lift Surgical Options 
After pregnancy, nursing, major weight loss, or just after years of exposure to gravity, the skin covering of the breast may become overly large for the amount of breast tissue left inside it. The breast then sags, producing skin contact between the lower breast skin and the chest wall. The medical term that describes this situation is breast ptosis.

Ptosis (Pronounced "toe\' - sis")(The "P" is silent) is the medical word for sag or droop.

Ptosis is the noun. The adjective form is ptotic.(Pronounced "taw\' - tic")
Breast ptosis is classified by comparing the nipple location on the breast mound to the location of the lower breast skin fold on the chest wall. The degree of ptosis varies from one patient to the next, and is subdivided into 4 grades of severity: pseudoptosis, grade 1 ptosis, grade 2 ptosis, and grade 3 ptosis.

Grade II Ptosis

Grade II ptosis occurs when the nipple is 1 to 3 centimeters below the lower breast skin fold.  There are a few different options to correct this degree of ptosis depending on the severity of the ptosis.  I can perform a circle nipple lift for some correction, a V-Lift or Lollipop lift for a little more correction and an inverted T-Lift for maximum correction.  To see photos of patient's with this degree of ptosis and how they corrected it, click on View Photos.
