Stupid question - uplift

Hi

Sorry to ask a really simple question. I'm being referred for BA for asymmetry on the NHS. Not seen the surgeon yet, but I don't 100% understand what an uplift is - does it always involve moving your nipple?

I think even with implant on my small side my nipple will still be higher on that side. Would uplift of the big side correct that, and does uplift always include repositioning your nipple?

Thats something I'm scared of having. Seems so strange.

Thanks

There are no stupid questions here hunni Stupid question - uplift 571992

I don't 100% understand what an uplift is - does it always involve moving your nipple?

A full anchor uplift does involve repositioning the nipple to a higher level on the breast and T shape incision coming from the nipple down to the breast crease and along the breast crease, excess skin is cut away and tightened for a firmer, perkier look.

I had dreadful assymetry after one of my implants ruptured hun and had an uplift to correct the damage, I'm thrilled with the results! My boobs are now symmetrical, both nipples are well aligned and they're full and perky.
