Can I get a lift with just a vertical incision (without implants)? I don't want a volume reduction either (Photo)

You can absolutely do a lift and maintain volume without Implants. Plenty of our patients come to us wanting to maintain as much volume and Breast Tissue as possible. I find personally, the Weiss Pattern, or Anchor incision, with an Auto-Augmentation gives a great result.

Dear Lila Petrova,

my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

Hi, according to your pictures, I surely can say that you can get vertical lifting but I am not sure that you have enough breast tissue. In my opinion vertical lift with small size implants would be perfect solution for you. But if you absolutely sure that you don’t want to get implants, then you have to be agreeing with small size breasts.
