What is the Difference Between Lollipop Lift and 'Short Scar' Lift?

   They probably refer to the same thing, but a short scar breast lift is not a commonly used term.  Crescent lift, circumareolar, concentric, Benelli, circumvertical, vertical, lollipop, full breast lift, inverted T lift, anchor lift, and Wise pattern lift are popular terms in breast lifting.  Some of these would be considered shorter scar, but the term is nonspecific.

Thanks for your question.  As you read about plastic surgery, you will see similar procedures with several different names.  Some of this is due to marketing, some of it is regional, and some is based on where the surgeon was trained.  The lollipop and short scar lift generally refer to the same surgery where there is an incision around the areola and then extending vertically down to the crease under the breast.  Other common names are vertical and circum-vertical breast lifts.
