Breast lift choices

Richard P. Rand, MD answers: Breast lift type for excess skin and large areolas?

I have decided to remove my implants after 15 years without replacement. I have opted not to have any further surgeries and know I will have smaller breasts. I have textured saline 330cc implants over the muscle with a capsular contracture on right breast. Knowing that I will need to take care of the excess skin and larger areola, what type of breast lift would you recommend in my case?

 You will need a full lift to reduce the areolas and tighten the lax skin.  You will see controversy about using a lollipop incision with no crease component or using a modified anchor incision with some crease element.  Personally, I have not seen results from other surgeon's versions of the lollipop that in my opinion I like better than the results I get with the freehand central pedicle lift which has some scar in the crease.
