TYPES OF PROCEDURES

• ​Traditional Breast Lift (Anchor or Wise Pattern Lift)

​

This is the most common type of breast lift, suitable for moderate to severe sagging. The incision is made around the areola, vertically down the breast, and horizontally along the crease. This allows for significant reshaping and repositioning of the breast tissue.

​​

• Vertical or Lollipop Lift​

​

​​​The vertical lift, also known as the lollipop lift, involves incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This method is suitable for individuals with moderate sagging and offers a more moderate lift compared to the traditional anchor lift.

​

• Peri-areolar Lift (Donut or Benelli Lift)

​​

This technique involves making a circular incision around the areola. It is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate sagging and is less invasive than the traditional or lollipop lift. It results in minimal scarring but may not be ideal for those requiring a significant lift.

​

• Crescent Lift

​The crescent lift involves a small incision along the upper half of the areola, allowing for a subtle lift. This technique is appropriate for individuals with minimal sagging and is often combined with other breast procedures.

• ​Internal Bra or Mesh Lift

​

In cases of significant sagging, surgeons may use internal support structures such as sutures or mesh to provide additional lift and support. This technique is often employed alongside traditional or vertical lifts for enhanced stability.

• Scarless Breast Lift (Thread Lift)

A non-surgical alternative to traditional lifts, thread lifts involve the use of dissolvable threads to lift and reshape the breasts. While it offers minimal scarring, the effects may be temporary compared to surgical options.

• Breast Lift with Implants

Individuals seeking both lift and increased volume may opt for a combination of a breast lift with breast augmentation using implants. This approach addresses sagging while enhancing breast size and shape.

• Areola Reduction

​Sometimes performed in conjunction with a breast lift, areola reduction involves resizing and reshaping the areolas to achieve better proportionality with the breasts.

​

Conclusion

​

Choosing the right type of breast lift depends on individual factors such as breast shape, degree of sagging, and aesthetic goals. Consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon is crucial to determine the most suitable technique for achieving the desired results. Regardless of the chosen method, breast lifts offer a transformative solution, restoring confidence and providing individuals with rejuvenated, youthful contours.
