"Lollipop" vs "Anchor" Breast lift for big breasts (G cup, down from HH) with grade 3 ptosis and "empty" skin - pros and cons?

October 20, 2016
Asked By:NuBoobs2016 in United Kingdom, GB

Due to weight loss, I am having a breast lift at Xmas as my breasts now sag though I still have a lot of tissue. I do NOT want a reduction (I like having large breasts); I obviously want less sag, but the loose skin is my main issue (had my breasts stayed full but sagging, I would not have surgery). I would like opinions on how a surgeon decides what incisions to make, whether I can get a decent result with just a lollipop incision, and whether it has any impact on e.g. loss of sensation.
