Case #160

This patient underwent a breast lift (mastopexy) performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Francesco Campanile, one of Colorado’s top specialists in cosmetic breast and body contouring. She initially came to Dr. Campanile because she was unhappy with the droopiness and overall appearance of her breasts. Over time—especially after aging, pregnancy, or breastfeeding—the breast tissue and skin can stretch, causing the breasts to lose their firmness and youthful shape.

After evaluating her anatomy and goals, Dr. Campanile, a surgeon with 25+ years of experience, recommended a breast lift to elevate the nipple-areola complex and restore a more youthful contour. Because her areola was positioned below the inframammary fold, a breast lift was necessary to lift the areola into a higher, more natural location on the breast mound.

During surgery, excess skin was removed and the areola was anchored above the breast fold to create a lifted, firmer appearance. Since her areola needed to be elevated more than an inch, Dr. Campanile used the “lollipop” (vertical) lift technique, which involves an incision around the areola and a vertical incision from the areola to the inframammary fold. This method allows for excellent reshaping with minimal and highly concealable scarring.

As shown here approximately 2 months after her breast lift, her breasts now look significantly more youthful, lifted, and proportionate. The areola sits higher on the breast mound, and the overall shape is smoother and more supported. She is very happy with her results and feels far more confident in her appearance.
