Breast reduction

The breast reduction procedure itself involves lifting the nipple; the nipple is kept alive on column of tissue inside the breast; wedges are taken out of the breast skin and tissue to reduce the volume and reshape the breast. An uplift or mastopexy involves lifting the nipple in a similar way; it may only involve reshaping the breast not reducing the volume but tightening the skin around it. There is always a scar all around the nipple. Depending on the shape and size of your breast to start with and what you are hoping to achieve, there are often other scars; there may be a vertical scar from the lower edge of the nipple to the fold underneath the breast and a horizontal one in the fold itself. These make an ‘anchor’ shape or ‘inverted-T’ scar.

Breast augmentation

Implants are used to enlarge your breasts and may create a subtle uplifted appearance too. Generally, small scars are placed in the fold under the breast to achieve this. Implants can be placed under the breast tissue only (sub glandular), under the chest muscle (sub muscular) or partially under the chest muscle (dual plane). This depends on your natural breast shape and your desired outcome; Miss Hunter will advise you which type she would recommend for you.

Augment/mastopexy

A mastopexy may be combined with an implant to enlarge, as well as uplift, the breast; this is called an augmentation mastopexy
