Different types of Breast lift

Different types of Breast lift   

A cosmetic surgeon can use different types of technique for a breast lift surgery, but the exact technique used will be different from one patient to another, the personal goals of the patients and how much excessive skin the patient has. The cosmetic surgeon can recommend one type of breast lift over the other in order to help you in achieving the optimal results without too much scarring.

Crescent lift

It is a minimally scarring method used for correction of sagging.

Cosmetic surgeon can use the crescent lift technique for women who suffer only a low level of breast sagging. It will involve an incision that runs halfway to the top of the areola. The crescent lift can be done only with breast augmentation procedure.

Donut or Peri-Areola lift

Women who experience mild sagging and they want to get breast lift are good candidates to get the peri-areolar lift. It involves a circular incision that runs on the edge of the areola like with the crescent lift and it is performed together with breast augmentation. The lift may be effective if the areola size is being reduced. This leads to a scar at the edge of your areola.

Lollipop or vertical lift

It is a type of breast lift that is used commonly and it allows the cosmetic surgeon to remove the excess skin and to reshape the entire breast using modest but hidden scars. The vertical lift requires the use of two different incisions, one is done at the areolar area and the second is done at the bottom of the areola on the inframammary fold which makes a lollipop shape.

Anchor or Inverted T

This is the right solution if you have pendulous breasts with too much sagging. The incisions make it easy to remove the extra skin and sagging tissue which leads to better results. The technique requires the use of 3 different incisions, one is found at the edge of the areola, the second at the bottom of the areola towards the breast crease and another one at the inframammary fold and it is hidden within the breast crease. The cosmetic surgeon may use the technique when you also get breast reduction. Even if the anchor lift comes with visible scarring, they can fade when proper care is taken.
