Tear Drop Augmentation Mastopexy

April 28th, 2009

Many people wonder what my Tear Drop Augmentation mastopexy is, and who needs it?

What it is good for:

1. Sagging breast where the nipple-areolar complex needs to be lifted 5 cm or less.
2. Breasts with upper or medial hollow. An example is a breast with all the breast tissue distributed below the nipple or when the breast tissue is too wide, or the nipples are too wide.
3. Patients who are sagging and want an augmentation of any volume.

Why is it different then the competition:

1. The lift is from above. The breast tissue is pulled up and re-attached to the chest wall higher up. Other lifts push up from the bottom of the breast.
2. Pulling up the breast tissue fills the upper and/or medial parts of the breast.
3. Pulling the tissue up puts the nipple areolar complex exactly where you place it In other words, the nipples are symmetrical.
4. The implant is used only to add volume, not to help lift the breast, therefore your volume is exactly what you want – not too big or too small.
