This young woman had very asymmetric breasts. The right was droopier and both had a problem called herniation of the nipples. Both areolae were much too large for the breasts. She did not want bigger breasts, just a nicer proportion and better symmetry. A breast lift (mastopexy) was done using an incision around the areolae. She is shown before and 6 months after surgery.

After
  This 65 year old woman had breast augmentation done 39 years ago with saline implants. She came in because she thought they might be leaking as she noted her breasts getting smaller (leakage of saline implants requires exchange or removal, but the leaking itself is harmless). She had considered having them removed but was concerned about her size without them and how much sagging she would have. After discussing all of her options, she elected to have them removed and a breast lift (mastopexy) done.

She is shown 6 months after removal of her implants, which were not leaking, and a breast lift. She is wearing a 34 B cup bra and is thrilled with the overall appearance of her breasts.
