L Shaped Mastopexy?

Depending upon a patient’s breast anatomy, there are a number of options to performing a breast lift. These include very minor procedures, such as a crescent breast lift, and evolve up through a lollipop lift, a L Mastopexy and then a Wise pattern mastopexy. Minimizing the length of the incision lines is always a priority, and the L Mastopexy claims to do that by not having a medial incision line in the fold under the breast. There can be regional preferences in how to perform breast lifts as you have found. When attempting to give the very best result, I have never found my patients to be concerned about a small medial incision line in the fold underneath their breast if it delivers their best result. Best wishes.

It depends upon particular patient and presentation.

Generally, an L is determined during the surgery depending on how much tissue and skin needs to be removed from either lateral (outer) or medial (inner).

Typically, this is usually a small lift that needs a little more than a lollipop but not a full or short T.

An exam and consultation with a plastic surgeon is recommended to best discuss your options and expectations.
