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: 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!
