Would the surgeon take volume from my breast tissue in order to create a teardrop shape as shown in the images? Which one is more suitable, the donut, lollipop, or anchor?
Answer: Breast Lift Thank you for your question. In my opinion, the best outcome for your breasts would be a lollipop mastopexy to lift and reshape the breast, as well as reposition the areola to a new position. An in person consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon would be needed to determine what is best for you.

Answer: Full lift Based on your pictures it looks like you can benefit from a full breast lift, an in person consultation would be best for a better exam and evaluation.

Answer: Breast lift Dear samjake,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.

Answer: The Bellesoma Method Thank you for you question and photos, The Bellesoma Method is a current technique to lift and/or reduce breasts without using implants or the ugly vertical scars. The incisions are hidden around the areola and in the inframammary crease. The vertical incision has been completely eliminated. The areola incision heals almost invisibly due to the fact that there is hardly any tension on the closure. With this particular technique, ducts are preserved along with nerve supply maintaining nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed. Because the breast is reshaped internally and is secured to your chest muscles, upper pole fullness is possible without an implant. Attached is a patient who underwent The Bellesoma Method. Please note that her tissue was used to create upper pole fullness and cleavage without any foreign materials (mesh, implants, etc). It is a proprietary technique that only surgeons that have been trained by me can perform. I hope this helps. Best wishes and kind regards, Dr. Gary Horndeski

Answer: Breast lift You are a great candidate for a breast lift. A vertical or lollipop incision should work out well, though a small horizontal incision in the breast crease sometimes helps with the final shape. The donut incision will never give you the shape you want and I rarely use it. Discuss all with your plastic surgeon. Good luck.
