I am 26 year old. I am unhappy with the shape but not necessarily the size of my breasts (D). I would like a more lifted look, smaller areolas, and better cleavage (less space between breasts). I am very concerned about a lollypop scar because scars on all other part of my body tend to be dark and resistant to fading. My mother (B cup) was able to get a circumareola lift with a small implant and avoid the lollypop scar. Do you think that this could be an option for me as well?
Answer: Breast Lift Without Lollipop Scar Depending on your particular condition, a lollipop incision may be the best, most effective option for your breast lift. Though there are alternatives that offer less scarring, your surgeon may suggest that you proceed with the lollipop breast lift because of the width, height, and sagginess of your breasts. To best determine whether or not another type of breast lift would give you the results you are expecting, consult with two or three board certified plastic surgeons in your area.

Answer: Breast Lifting Technique?
Thank you for the question and pictures.
Based on the pictures and your stated goals I think you will likely be better off with a vertical mastopexy and augmentation. The use of breast implants will help improve the cleavage area that you discuss.
Although your concerns regarding scarring are understandable, most patients undergoing this procedure will accept scarring as long as their overall goals in regards to size, shape, contour and symmetry are met.
If the scarring is not acceptable to you at this point, it would be better not to have any surgery than to be disappointed with the results.
Best wishes.

Answer: Minimal scar lift and attempting to achieve enhanced cleavage and projections.
Based on your apperance I would not advise a circumareolar scar especially with implants to achieve cleavage unless you have modest expectations. Antolher alternative would be selective fat grafitng for cleavage and circumareolar lift and or internal Benelli type round block plication for enhaned projection.

Answer: Breast Lift Scars do NOT need to be unsightly
Hi there-
It would be impossible to say without formally examining you, but my impression based on the photo you posted is that it would not be possible to achieve a pleasing shape with a minimal scar technique.
Please understand that not all breast lift techniques are appropriate for all patients, and when the technique is chosen for the wrong reasons (like the patient wanting a small scar), there is usually a lot of regret for both patient and surgeon afterwards. Some of these funny looking breast shapes are impossible to correct completely.
You also should know that, even in darker skinned patients, it is possible to achieve a pleasing and inconspicuous scar with aggressive and appropriate postoperative scar management protocols.
You can see good examples of these pleasing scars on my profile page if you like- but any skilled and experienced plastic surgeon certified by The American Board of Plastic Surgery should be able to do a good job for you.

Answer: Breast lift -lollipop scar Your situation is not an easy one to answer.With the scarring history in your family i would think less is better.A donut mastopexy with a slight augmentation may be the way to go.I always tell my patients you can always come back and have a full lift with more scarring but once the incision is made you CAN NOT erase it and start all over.
