I am 21 and am 5'6" and weigh 140 lbs. Ideally, I would get a lollipop reduction since there is significantly reduced scarring, easier recovery, and longer lasting results. The doctor I consulted with wants to use the anchor method; however, I am conflicted because I have come across another doctor online who solely uses the lollipop method on all patients including those around my size. The bra I wear is a 30 H but the doctor measured me at a 32 F. I would like to go down to a full C or small D.

Answer: Avoid lollipop and anchor scars I do not recommend vertical scars because they do not adequately lift the breasts and are very unslightly, particularly in darker skinned women. For that reason, an alternative was developed called The Bellesoma Method. This will reduce and reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness without implants, elevate them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage. The weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying pectoralis major muscle resulting in pain relief without excessive reduction. Vertical scars avoided, nipple sensation (in 95%) and the ability to breast feed are maintained. Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Lollipop You are not a candidate for a lollipop. The problem with the lollipop incision is that the surgeon doesn't set the length on the lower pole of the breast and lets the breast determine the length and this leads to suboptimal results. The scar under the breast is the most concealed scar of all of the scars so in my opinion the lollipop has few advantages over the anchor pattern.
