I had a consultation in which the surgeon said I was a candidate for this breast lift technique with breast augmentation. There will only be scar around the areola and a horizontal scar via inframammary incision--the Passot or Lalonde Technique. He said the shape will be as good as if I had a T-scar minus the vertical scar. Never heard of this technique. But, I dread the vertical scar. I am a saggy 36DD and will be transformed to a firm full 36DDD, my original size before having children. Any other doctors have heard of this technique? What are the pros and cons?
