Superior Crescent Augmentation

superior crescent augmentation

For patients with mild sagging, excess breast skin in the upper half of the breast, requesting no more than 2cm of nipple/areola lift and a normal amount of skin in the lower half, a semi-circular incision is made on the upper border of the areola. A crescent shaped piece of skin is removed, and when the skin edges are sewn back together, the nipple and areola are raised slightly (1 to 2 cms). A crescent mastopexy is best for women with only mild breast ptosis (sagging).

CoolSculpting ® is completely non-surgical, so typically you can return to normal activities immediately. Some patients experience redness, minor bruising, tingling, numbness or discomfort in the treated area, but this is temporary and will resolve completely. Often times, patients return to work after the session is over.

To initiate the treatment we will position the device on your body. The device will then draw the bulge up between two cooling panels. The sensation is a firm pull and pressure – enough of a pull to ensure the selected tissue will be cooled most efficiently. An hour or so later, depending on your needs, you’re done.
