If I Get a Second Breast Lift Will The Incisions Be The Same?

It is hard to tell what you need without photographs. Options for treatment depending on your presentation include revision of your prior lift using the existing scars, placement of a breast implant, and/or fat grafting. Your weight should stabilize prior to pursuing your revision. It's great that you are able to take off the excess weight! Please see a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon when seeking revision, or better yet, see the surgeon who performed the breastlift.

If you have previously had a breast lift and for whatever reason need another one, this can usually be done through the same incision so that you will not incur additional scars.  There are several different techniques for breast lifting and these vary in regards to what is done "internally." So , even if you need a different type of breast lift now, the external incisions (and the resulting scars) will likely be the same.

Congratulations on your weight loss! Your plan is appropriate once your weight has stabilized and you are on a healthy healing diet. Your surgeon will remove the old scars and give you new ones in a higher, tighter, package, implants or not. Your surgeon will probably use all of the old scars, but not for sure--this will depend on your new anatomy and your old scars.

If you want implants, suggest that your surgeon first close all of the breast lift incisions (except for the 4cm length needed for breast implant placement), and THEN create your pocket and place your desired implants. This decreases the variability of results that so many surgeons mention, and some even require a second surgery (third for you) to avoid.

Yes, in most cases, if you need a secondary breast lift, the incisions are made right through the previous incisions.  However, without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you more specific advice.

 

Good Luck.

The good news is that there won't be additional scars likely if you already have an anchor incision.  How much of that previous incision that needs to be reopened will depend on how much lifting and skin removal is required.
