Steven Wallach, M.D. answers: Can I get a breast lift without huge scars?

All of the I have seen on this site show that the women have huge, long scars afterward.  I want a breast lift but I don't want huge scars! Is there any way to get the lift with some other incision that won't run all the way from my areola to my breast fold?  Are there alternatives like some sort of mini breast lift?

Breast lifts can be performed in many different ways, all depending on the size and shape of the breast. 

Some women can "get away" with just having breat implants placed.  Some can have a lift just around the border of the the areola skin.  Most of the patients that I see, need more than this. 

I usually can limit the incisions to a "lollipop" design, leaving a final incision around the border of the areola and a vertical line from the bottom of the areola to the breast fold below.
