Which procedure would yield the best overall results? I need a breast lift and and areola reduction, So I'm considering a full lollipop which would leave incision's fully around my aerial down my breast and underneath the crease of my breast. Or just looking for a doctor who would perform a purse string like procedure and reposition my nipple higher. The Dallas surgeon I visited said the look of the pursestring alone does not yield good results for very many patients "it deforms the breast".
Answer: Mini Ultimate Breast Lift(TM) is not a purse string There is a new technique called The Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM. Using only a circumareola incision it is possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. This technique is not a simple purse string. The breast is reshaped creating upper pole fullness, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed are preserved. The lollipop incision results in a vertical scar, which women find unacceptable. No plastic surgeon routinely uses a vertical scar to place implants, yet plastic surgeons routinely use them to lift. Lift patients desire beautiful breasts without vertical scars.

Answer: Purse string or lollipop? A circumvertical breast lift would be reasonable to help your situation. For the lift, I typically start with the smallest incision and custom tailor each breast lift to the shortest scar possible. Find a board certified plastic surgeon who performs hundreds of breast lifts each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Purse string lift I have seen so many patients who paid a lot of money for a so called lift and they now have big areola, poor shape and a bunch of permanent sutures that may get infected, break or extrude. All this for maybe one inch of lift. A lollipop lift is the way to go in my hands, Good Luck!

Answer: Lollipop Breast Lift Incision Yes, the lollipop breast lift incision is the best choice based on what I can see in the picture. The purse-string incision sounds attractive because it is "hidden" but in the vast majority of cases it is the wrong chose because it flattens the breast and does not accommodate for the tension from the lift. By having the vertical component from the lollipop incision, the breast gains projection and reduces the tension not he areola and ends up with a better looking incision overall.Good Luck.

Answer: Lollipop lift is a great plan Thanks for your question. I agree that the lollipop/short scar reduction pattern is in your best interest. The circumareolar incision results in an effaced/flattened breast and often time areolar widening. Accept the small vertical component which should result in a much better scar and an overall better result. Best of Luck!
