8) Snoopy Breasts

Augmented nipple/areola complex (called usually snoopy): This shape is usually due to herniation of the tissue, lobules and fat without proper containment by the connective tissue under the areolae complex. This can be corrected with a Benelli-mastopexy, areolae reduction and sometimes with the aid of permanent sutures in a star fashion placed under the areolae complex. The permanent sutures act like a pseudo-containment net for the underlying breast tissue/fat and isn't offered by all surgeons.
