If the American Society of Plastic Surgeons is to be believed, there were about 381,000 breast-related cosmetic procedures carried out in 2003. And with breakthroughs such as concentric mastopexy cropping up to revolutionize the cosmetic surgery landscape, the number has increased, and is still swelling significantly. The success lies in knowing which specialized trick is appropriate for a specific case.
For women with small breasts who are experiencing a minimal amount of sagging, the type of mastopexy or breast lift required is the concentric breast lift. This procedure is named so because of the two concentric incisions done on the outer border of the areola, and the breast skin surrounding the areola. The skin cut out by these two circular incisions is then removed, thereby pulling the breast tissue together. This results in firmer, 'lifted' breasts.
There are variations to the concentric breast lift. For instance, the more skin on top of the areola is removed, the higher the nipple is elevated, which in turn results in a significant improvement of breast projection. Keeping the best scenario in mind, a concentric mastopexy can lift the areola by as much as five centimeters and the nipple by as much as four centimeters. In the case of small breasts, these results are noteworthy improvements.
Due to the relatively low maintenance aspect of this procedure, it is usually administered to women with smaller breasts who suffer from non-extreme ptosis, or sagging. Bear in mind that concentric lifts should only be administered by licensed plastic surgeons. It is important to discuss the procedure with your doctor and consider their qualifications and credentials before undergoing concentric mastopexy.
