I’d like to get a breast lift or internal bra but I don’t want the vertical scar or the scar around the nipple. I just want a little lift minus the nipple lift. I don’t mind having a little sag or a horizontal scar under my boob and I’d like them to remain a teardrop shape. Is that possible?
Answer: Lift No, all lifts require a scar around the areolae to lift them back up into the proper place. Many lifts can be done without the inferior scar, but most lifts need the vertical scar to have the best shape. The internal bra is not for a lift per se, but to give the implant or residual breast tissue more support, especially during the early phase of healing.

Answer: Breast lift or internal bra with the horizontal scar only? There are a multitude of techniques to lift the breasts. Some have more scarring than others. The amount of lift achieved is essentially directly proportional to the amount of scarring. That is, the procedures that have more scarring provide more lift and vise versa. The need for extra scarring depends on your goals and underlying condition. Seek a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who can evaluate you, and guide you through the decision process.

Answer: Breast lift scar What will determine the need for the vertical scar is the amount of sag and nipple position during the clinical exam at the time of your consultation. For mild breast sagginess, restoring the breast volume with an implant might be able to provide enough lift. In that case, the only scar needed is the horizonal scar at the time of breast augmentation. If however the droopiness of the breasts are moderate to severe, a breast lift via external scar either around the nipple and /or vertically will be needed. The good news is these incisions usually heal nicely and mature to a fine lines after one year.

Answer: Can I get a breast lift or internal bra with the horizontal scar only? Hello @alexa brena thank you for your question.
