Case #159

Dr. Francesco Campanile performed a breast lift on this patient. Initially, she came to Dr. Campanile because she was unhappy with how her breasts drooped. 

Dr. Campanile reviewed her case and recommended a breast lift to give her breasts a more youthful appearance. Usually, the best candidates for a breast lift can be determined by the 'pencil test'. If you place a pencil in the fold underneath the breast, it should be near the height where the pencil exits the fold. When the nipple is lower than this point, the patient can be a good candidate for breast lift surgery.

As you can see here, Dr. Campanile raised the location of the nipple and surrounding tissues by anchoring them in a higher location. Dr. Campanile typically uses the "lollipop" technique, which leaves minimal scarring around the areola and underside of the breast. 

This patient is shown here approximately 3 months after surgery. She is happy with her results, and feels more confident about the way her breasts look.
