Richard P. Rand, MD 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?

Unfortunately, scars are something a patient who needs a breast lift has to accept. There are, however, several lifting techniques available for different kinds of breasts and some involve less scars than others. Having been doing this surgery for over 20 years and performing it on thousands of patients, I can honestly say that virtually all patients will trade the scars for an excellent shape. The scars improve with time and can be treated with massage, oils, and lasers to speed their lightening. The key here is to get a great looking result so the scars are tolerable. Breast lifting is like sculpting and no 2 surgeons are the same in their ability and talent for this operation.
