Always chose the incisions that will give you the best shape

Hello, We make incisions on the face for face lift surgery, on eyelids for eyelid lift, nose, ears, etc. When the incision is placed and closed properly the final result will be a nearly invisible scar. Yes, there will always be a scar but if it is very fine and well positioned it should always be accepted with a superior shape than a smaller incision with a less than desirable shape. I have attached a link to a set of before and after photos from one of my... more

Beautiful breasts without implants or vertical scars

You appear to be an ideal candidate for the Ultimate Breast Lift technique. This technique is unlike any other as it achieves upper pole fullness without an implant and NO VERTICAL scar. The only incisions are hidden around the areola and in the natural crease of the breast. The breast is completely reshaped and permanently suspended to achieve a long term lift. An 'inner bra' of sorts is constructed without using foreign material so women enjoy going 'braless' without external support.... more

Are There Any Other Options Than a Lollipop Lift for my Sagging Breasts

A peri-areolar incision alone will not give a suitable improvement to permit me to recommend it. Surgery is a trade-off. Scars are the down side, but doing an inadequate procedure with fewer scars is not likely to please anyone. All the best.

Short scar breast lift options to reduce scars

Variations in the vertical short scar breast lift exist, but the asymmetry in your breasts would likely best be served by a traditional short scar breast lift. Surgery90210

Breast Lift Scar Options

The "lollipop" scar is the absolute minimum necessary in order to elevate the breasts and restore "perkiness." The scar is minimal when done carefully by an experienced surgeon and is a minimal tradeoff for the resultant improved shape.

Breast lift techniques based on photo

Breast implants are pillow volume and fill out but don't lift the breast nor are they tightened although they may look more perky. Your breasts look too low and probably too big for the minimum size increase of one cup size of a low profile implant. Breast lifts have a long and varied history with rather poor understanding of what needs to be done and what the tradeoffs are. Breast lifts reposition the breast but they do not give it forward projection or perkiness although, again,... more

Breast lift incision choices

I don't think you'll get a great result without more of an incision then what you seem to want. Your breast position is kind of low on the chest for me to suggest a "Benelli" pursestring as a good alternative. A vertical mastopexy (lollipop) would probably be my suggestion

Not all breast lifting techniques produce the same change in the breast shape

Hi there- Breast lifting is unfortunately very poorly understood by most patients... It is a mistake to believe that the reason there are several different techniques for lifting and reshaping the breasts is so that you and your surgeon can pick the one that gives you the scar you want at the price you like. The fact is that the reason there are different techniques is because women's breasts come in different shapes to begin with- and each technique for reshaping the breasts... more

Crescent Lift or Circumareolar Lift Plus an Implant

From your photos, it appears that you have only moderate drooping. Either an ellipse mastopexy (crescent lift) or a circumareolar lift plus an implant should give you a great result. The first lift involves an incision around just the upper half of your areola. The second lift involves an incision around the entire areola. Discuss these procedures with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Tradeoffs...

Tried and true methods of breast lifting would require you to have more than just an incision around the areola and to consider using a small implant. No disrespect intended to the surgeon suggesting the "ultimate breast lift" with no implant and minimal scarring as I do not know him or anything about his techniques but I would ask to see long-term (more than 2 or 3 years out) results of this type of procedure as they have been tried by many surgeons over the years with limited results... more
