Answer: Lollipop vs. Anchor lifts. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Every Plastic Surgeon has his/her own level of knowledge, experience, skill, training and talent. This all goes into the decision making process. Personally, to get the best result with your breasts- you would need - in my opinion- an anchor lift with possible implants- if you desire more volume.

Answer: Breast lifts: Why do some doctors prefer the anchor method over lollipop lifts? The lollipop lift is more for mild to moderate droopiness. For moderate to severe droopiness the anchor lift is needed. The anchor includes a horizontal scar which is in the crease under the breast; this is what's needed to help shorten the excessive droopiness (the longer distance between the nipple and the crease under the breast). Hope this helps explain the need for one approach over the other. For more information on this and similar topics, I recommend a plastic surgery Q&A book like "The Scoop On Breasts: A Plastic Surgeon Busts the Myths."

Answer: Breast Lift / Breast Augmentation/ Breast Implants/ Anatomic Gummy Bear Implants/ Silicone Implants I appreciate your question.I perform a liposuction breast lift that removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast I then remove the skin to tighten the breast and create a better shape with nice cleavage. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster and drains are not necessary. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It works very well if there are asymmetries. I can also use the removed fat as a natural breast augmentation by grafting the fat back into the breast to create more projection or into the top to create more cleavage. This procedure can also be combined with an implant if needed or wanted. It should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. If you gain or lose weight, the transferred fat can do the same.The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon#RealSelf100Surgeon #RealSelfCORESurgeon

Answer: Lollipop vs Anchor lifts Without an exam and learning from you more information about your wishes it is hard to give you a definitive answer. The answer to your question lies in letting you surgeon know specifically what you would like to look like following the surgery. For example, how perky do you want to be, what shape do you want to have, etc.? Here is a rule of thumb that works for most patients. If you nipple is above your lower breast crease then often a periareolar lift will be sufficient for most patients. If your nipple is at or below your crease then a vertical lift (lollipop lift), inverted T or anchor pattern may be required.
