I've researched the "ultimate lift" that eliminates the need for a vertical scar. The description I've found: "A new technique of internal suspension similar to a push up bra corrects these problems. Upon completion, The Ultimate Lift has incisions hidden at the nipple-skin junction and near the junction of the breast and chest." Would I be a good candidate for this or do I "need" a vertical scar? I don't want to be a guinea pig but I don't want the scars! I also don't want implants.
Answer: Breast lift- obtaining minimal scars
The problem with saggy breasts is that there is too much skin for what is inside the skin.
So what are you going to do with all the extra skin if you are not removing it?
As Dr. Rand has noted, there is in general a tradeoff between scars and results in breasts lifts. Anchor type lifts are powerful in that they remove a lot of skin. Lifts performed solely around the nipple (areola) are weak and are best reserved for cases requiring minimal lifting, or minor repositioning of the areola. Lollipop type lifts are good for in-between problems.
Ultimately the best result is obtained when you don't try to do too much with a weak technique. A generation of aggressive Benelli lifts has taught us that.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Breast Lift Thanks for the question. Some patients might have inadequate breast tissue. In case of gland and fat tissue decrement due to breastfeeding and for the patients with saggy nipples, we definitely need to apply silicone prosthesis procedure for breast lifting. For more information about which technique is best for you, a consultation is required. I wish you all the best.

Answer: No vertical scar Ultimate Breast Lift After reviewing the Ultimate Breast Lift technique photos, the trade off for no vertical scar is more of a wide, flat breast. If that suits your desires and goals, then it is the procedure for you. I prefer using a superomedial pedicle for all my reductions and mastopexies with full anchor scar. In my opinion, this technique maximizes breast shape with good projection, perkiness and a durable, pretty shape. Bottom line is every plastic surgeon has their own technique, but make sure you do your homework with multiple consultations, reviewing before and after photos so you can make a decision that is best for you.

Answer: Ultimate Breast Lift is a true and tried proprietary technique
Dear Bean,
Unfortunately for my well meaning colleagues the Ultimate Breast Lift is a proprietary technique and, therefore, not readily available for them to perform. Let me clear up the confusion: the UBL is UNLIKE ANY OTHER METHOD. Please do your homework and look at the before and after pictures. It is clear that breasts are full, perky and esthetically pleasing. I would also recommend you speak to women who have had the procedure. Yes, the anchor and vertical lifts are true and tried, but they have proven to fail in providing women with long lasting lifts. The truth of the matter (and every honest PS surgeon will agree) is that a vertical scar inherently weakens the lift. An incision at the point of maximum tension is architecturally faulty. This is the point where most wound failures occur. The weight of the breast is often times too much for the skin alone to handle. This is why the UBL is unique. The UBL reconstructs the breast and anchors it internally. It DOES NOT rely on the skin envelope alone like the others. As you know skin stretches with weight. The UBL relieves the skin envelope from the weight of the breast successfully achieving a long term lift. It just makes sense.
I hope this helped!
Kind regards,
Dr. H

Answer: Stay Focused on the goal- safety and beautiful breasts
Hi there-
If you were able to avoid the scars that you think you might find objectionable, but ended up with funny looking breasts, and needed to spend more time and money having this corrected... or worse, found that the deformity that resulted from this cutely named operation could never be corrected, would you be happy?
If this operation were really the revolution that the doctor promoting it says it is, we would all be doing it.
Please don't make one of the biggest and most common mistakes we see women make- that of shopping for the scar or operation they think they want, and then looking for the surgeon who will do it on them.
Remembering that your goals should be to stay safe and to have the highest likelihood of being happy with your appearance when you are done, there can be no doubt that you would be much better served by looking for the best surgeon for you, and worrying about the details of the technique later.
