A breast lift is common place for the correction of drooping or hanging breasts. This can be the result of pregnancies, weight changes, large breasts, or the natural aging process. In general, the procedures for correction are designed to return the nipple areolar position to one on the chest that is not drooping or hanging. For most women, measuring from the collar bone to the nipple areolar position will determine whether or not breast ptosis, or hanging, is present. Normal value would range from 19 to 20 cm. If that distance is excessive, then correction is appropriate.
For postoperative or weight loss patients, there can sometimes be attenuation of the distance from the nipple areolas to the chest, called bottoming out. If this occurs, a simple correction inferior to the nipple areolas may be possible.
In any event, only by careful consultation of all options can an appropriate course of treatment be reached. Contact us today to schedule your initial consultation!
Hands down this is the most amazing plastic surgery office! No haggling and Dr. Jacobs will not perform a surgery if the scar exceeds the benefit. His words exactly which is exactly what I want to know ahead of time not after the surgery is done. Dr. Jacobs is a phenomenal surgeon and I trust him 150%. Felecia his nurse is as wonderful as Dr. Jacobs!!
I visited Dr. Johnathan Jacob's Office to see about getting a Lipoma removed from my upper left shoulder. After meeting Dr. Jacob's he discussed
with me what needed to be done to remove it. I was very happy with the surgery and how good a surgeon he is. I was very satisfied with the procedure and the outcome. I was happy with his staff also they took good care of me. ???
