I had a consultation today for a breast lift with implant. I really do not want that long verticle scar that accompanies most breast lifts. The surgeon measured me and said I was a 29? He said that I would need the lift with the anchor incision, or I could just have the implant without lift, but the implant would go on top of the muscle. I'm really dissapointed because I do not want that large vertical scar. What are my other options for a lift? I have another consultation scheduled with a different surgeon, but I want to know if they are just going to tell me the same thing.
Answer: Avoiding the vertical scar Be very careful! You are a set up for a bad result. 50% of my revisional patients are people who were just like you and did not want what they NEEDED and ended up making compromises and ended up with terrible results. The irony is they ended up getting what they NEEDED originally except with more cost and suffering. You need what you need. Do not just fill your breast to make up for excess skin. It will look good for a short period of time while it is swollen and then bottom out. Spend more time looking for a surgeon who gets good results and closes incisions well. The vertical scar can in many instances become invisible.Good luck

Answer: Breast lift If you don’t get a lift performed, then simply do nothing at all. breast implants without a formal lift will look terrible. I agree that a full anchor scar will be required. In fact I would recommend performing the lift only and placing the implants at a second stage. It will be much safer and your ultimate result will be much better.

Answer: #breast lift Hi. Yes you can definitely avoid the vertical scar with a breast lift technique that puts a scar in the groove underneath the breast and around the areola. If you want implants then this needs to be done at a second stage. CheersDamien

Answer: Is Avoiding Vertical Breast Lift Scar Possible? Hello and thank you for posting. Avoiding the vertical scar is not a real option in your case. Not if you want to have the best results possible. Not even if you want to have mediocre results actually. Unless doctors tell you want you want to here instead of what you need, all surgeons will basically say you need a vertical scar lift for optimal results.

Answer: Breast Lift Scars Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, there aren't any scarless breast lifts. You need to understand that there will always be a trade off - you will have scars but you will have the breast shape you desire. You cannot get one without the other. Anchor scars tend to be more unsightly, but may yield the best results for some patients. Other patients may get great results with a vertical lift, leaving a thin vertical scar that tends to heal very well.However, there are great scar treatment options out there! Using Embrace silicone strips or Biocorneum to treat your scars will reduce their appearance and aid in healing.

Answer: Avoiding Vertical Breast Lift Scar? In my opinion- none. Based on the your photo- the best way to achieve perkier breasts- and move your measurement to 23 or so cm-- you would need the anchor type lift.
