2 LOLLIPOP lifts with 2surgeons& suture types- monocryl &PDS/barb. BOTH times I spit stitches, wide scars, areola stretch& lift did not hold. I got a tattoo to cover the scars which made it worse.If I cut out the areola tattoo and it re-stretches, will the tattoo part be stretched (my whole areola is tattoo,it was pink) will the tattoo show back or is it new areola skin? I want to have a last final lift- what do you suggest? im so tired. Pics- today, healing/rejecting stitch, 1st lift, before
Answer: Revision breast lift/ Pushup Lift Unfortunately, despite 2 breast lifts, due to the inadequacy of the technique used, your areola diameter remained too large and the upper pol fullness of your breast could not be achieved. However, there is also a serious asymmetry. In this case, Pushup Lift will be the most suitable technique for you as a technique in which the areola is taken to its new location completely free and does not expand, can be reduced to the desired size, and the upper pol fullness can be provided with the breast's own tissue. All scars can be revised at the same time

Answer: Breast lift Dear Ddrr123, my preferred lift is a lollipop lift when a periareolar won't do (ie greater than 2cm lift required). The lollipop technique was created by a Canadian plastic surgeon named Elizabeth Hall-Findley and treats the breast as a three dimensional structure instead of two dimensions (anchor - lift). Most importantly it does not require the horizontal component scars that the anchor-lift requires and breasts appear much more natural, lifted, and less boxy. Lastly, the lift lasts longer because the lollipop doesn't rely on the skin to hold the breast up, its actually breast tissue thats being brought together to support the breast and hence improves longevity.

Answer: 2 failed 'lollipop lifts' You need at a minimum a conversion to a full anchor mastopexy. More likely than not....you would benefit from slight reduction of the breast tissue, otherwise, even with a full lift, you may sag more than you want.

Answer: Anchor lift Yes, you certainly need a full anchor lift. That is the only way to achieve more adequate symmetry because that is the only incision that will correct the vertical excess.

Answer: Anchor lift with mesh support and consider some reduction. To achieve a lifted position, as well as as much symmetry as is possible, I would recommend an anchor style incision with a judicious reduction of the weight of the breasts and a mesh support internally to help support the weight of your breast overtime. A breast lifts longevity is due to the strength and elasticity of the skin, and if the skin is not strong and elastic the results do not hold up. The internal mesh creates a stronger layer internally to help support the breast tissue and take the load off of the skin only. Best wishes.
