| Augmentation Mastopexy: Crescent Mastopexy or Breast Lift |
| Crescent Mastopexy with Breast Augmentation: For mild breast sag or ptosis | ||
| Minimal sag or ptosis may be corrected by repositioning the nipple upwardly, and tightening of the breast apex skin by excising, or cutting, a crescent-shaped piece of the excess | skin from above the nipple. Crescent Mastopexy allows the top of the areola to be repositioned upward by about 2-3cm, and will allow the nipple to move up about 1-1.5cm. | |
