I am booked in for breast lift and augmentation, I am currently a A cup with no upper fullness and sagging of skin. Is an anchor incision the only way to fix my breast and insert implants ? Can you place implants with a lollipop incision?
Answer: Breasts You did not show photos, so I cannot be specific. The anchor incision is used in women who have a fair amount of excess skin. The vertical incision is used when there is less excess skin.

Answer: An in person evaluation is needed for a definitive answer I recommend an in person consultation with a plastic surgeon to discuss your goals and be measured. After I measure and discuss goals with my patients, we then look at pictures of women (my patients) with similar measurements with different size and style breast implants. They then get to choose what looks right for them. They also get to see what they would look like when the breasts have fully dropped and fluffed and in clothes. You get to see actual results and the surgeon's experience and not a virtual idea of what can be achieved. Women tell me that this process is very helpful in determining what size and style breast implant is right for them. Mildly Sagging Breasts: If your breasts are mildly droopy, a saline or silicone gel implant placed behind the pectoral muscle might help create the illusion of perkiness. That’s because as the implant fills out the top of the breast, it also fills out the bottom, making it look as if the nipple has moved higher. It hasn’t. You can always get a lift later if you feel you are not perky enough when fully settled and healed. Dr. Ted Eisenberg, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and Author.

Answer: My Recomendation Dear Eclectic630044, thank you for your question, before anything it would be good to see some pictures in order to evaluate your case. But most of the time the anchor insicitin is the best option. Make sure you go on consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Hope this helps and best of lucks. Dr. Luis Mejia.

Answer: Vertical breast lift It is difficult to answer your question without photos or in person evaluation. Generally speaking, small breasts even with significant atrophy and ptosis (sagging), will probably need only vertical, lollipop scar if implants are used. Good luck.

Answer: Other alternatives to consider Unfortunately, you have not provided photographs. However, there are 2 alternatives to consider. One is The Bellesoma Method. This will reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. Vertical scars are avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Later, fat transfers can be performed. The other alternative is a mini lift. Using a circumareola incision, your breast tissue is reshaped, elevated higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. At the same time, fat transfers or small implants can be placed totally submuscular.
