Who Is Candidate?
This procedure is most suitable for women who have breasts that have sagged (ptosis) or have become floppy. Sometimes there can be asymmetry in the breasts due to them being at different levels. This procedure, called differential breast lift can correct the asymmetry. It is also useful to achieve symmetry after breast reconstruction following mastectomy.
Some women have a combination of loss of breast volume and sagging. Such patients may need a breast augmentation along with a breast lift.
Breast lift is a highly individualized procedure – one that you should choose to undergo to fulfil your own desire for shapely youthful breasts, and not others’ desire.
Technique We Use:
There is not a single option for all sufferers. Variation in techniques depends on your body proportion, how much sagginess need to be corrected and what your goals are. The techniques are mentioned below:
1) Crescent breast lift:
People with minimal sagginess go with this technique. This type of Breast Lift Surgery creates a single incision that runs halfway along the top outer edge of the areola. There is no visible scar as it hidden in darker region-areola.
2) Peri-areolar breast lift:
Commonly called as doughnut lift, is recommended to a woman with mild sagginess. The surgeon creates a round incision around the edges of areola for giving a lifting effect.
3) Vertical breast lift:
This technique is best for women who want more reshaping of their breasts. Moderate sagging is usually corrected by creating two incisions. The circular incision is positioned around the edges of areola and vertical incision is positioned from the bottom of the areola down to the natural breast crease (inframammary fold). The shape of the incisions resemble a lollipop, hence it also named as “lollipop lift.”
4) Anchor breast lift:
It works for the sufferers who want dramatic reshaping in order to improve significant sagging. This technique is also termed as ‘Inverted T technique’. Three incisions are usually created:
- One circling the outer edge of the areola
- One made horizontally along the natural breast crease
- One vertically running from the bottom of the areola to the infra mammary fold.
