Do you know about Breast Ptosis Grading and why it matters in surgery planning?
If you’re thinking about breast surgery, you may have heard your surgeon talk about ptosis, a clinical term for breast sagging. Understanding breast ptosis grading helps both you and your surgeon decide which surgical techniques are to be considered.
◾ The Grading Scale (Regnault classification)
▪ Grade I (Mild) - Nipple rests at or just below the crease.
▪ Grade II (Moderate) - Nipple sits a few cm below the crease but above the lower contour.
▪ Grade III (Severe) - Nipple is well below the crease and breast mound.
▪ Pseudoptosis - Tissue sags below the crease while the nipple stays at/above the fold.
Why does this matter?
Each grade suggests different surgical approaches, from lifts to combined procedures, helping ensure results that are balanced with your anatomy.

Above or below the muscle?
When planning breast augmentation, one of the most important choices is implant placement. This decision can shape your recovery, comfort, and long-term results.
▪ Over the muscle (Subglandular) - Placed above the chest muscle but under natural breast tissue.
▫ Shorter procedure time
▫ Less disruption to muscle movement
▫ Best suited for patients with enough natural breast tissue for coverage
▪ Under the muscle (Submuscular) - Implant sits beneath the chest muscle.
▫ Provides extra coverage for a natural look
▫ May reduce visible implant edges or rippling
▫ Recovery can involve more initial discomfort and muscle restrictions
A consultation with a specialist plastic surgeon is the best way to explore which placement will achieve the most natural and lasting outcome for you.
