Alternative to Anchor Incision for Breast Lift?

Also, because you are a weight loss patient you may have poor elasticity of the skin. One alternative I ahve pursued is to remove the implants and let the skin settle for 6 weeks or so. Sometimes it's not necessary to do a lift after that when we go back to insert the smaller implants..
I have used a version of the LeJour technique (a lollipop shaped scar) for all my breast lifts, including WLS patients, and have not found the anchor scar necessary even in very large reductions or lifts.

Thank you for the question.

Unfortunately,  it is not possible to give you accurate advice without direct examination or viewing pictures. Whether you will benefit from breast lifting (and what technique necessary) after downsizing of breast implants will depend on several factors including the quality of skin elasticity ( often poor after significant weight loss),  the amount of “loose” skin present, and your goals.

In person examination by well experienced board-certified plastic surgeons will be helpful to you.

Best wishes.

It is difficult to give an exact answer without seeing any photos of you. It is possible that you would do well and be in better proportion by just removing your implants and doing a short scar or lollipop scar lift. You can see examples of this on my web site. www.bellevueplasticsurgeons.com.
