Which breast lift technique makes the breast appear square? I have noticed that the anchor lift makes the breast appear square and with the lollipop lift makes the breast look natural shape. why is it that breast appear square with anchor lift, is it the PS technique that makes it look that way( I see it a lot with lift with implant). Thank you for your time and consideration.
Answer: Boxy breast You are quite correct. The boxy breast can result from the anchor lift. This is due to the lift being relatively tight in the region below the nipple compared to each side. Often, that area stretches over time, thereby reestablishing a more rounded lower pole. This phenomenon usually occurs when a skin lift technique is utilized. Because skin easily stretches, surgeons compensate for this stretch by making that are relatively short in anticipation of the stretch. This is why one, also, often sees a bit of skin breakdown in that area where the vertical and horizontal incisions intersect. In the vertical breast lift technique, where the skin minimally plays a role and over-tightening is not necessary, this boxy phenomenon does not occur. I prefer this latter technique, as I believe not only does it produce a better shape, but the incision quality is superior as well as its durability.Ary Krau MD FACS

Answer: Anchor lifts do not need to be square The anchor pattern breast lift does not in and of itself result in square breasts. This is a function of design and planning. Look at the surgeons before and after pictures to identify a pattern. If you like the results an anchor would be fine.

Answer: Why is it that breasts appear square with an anchor lift? Is it the PS technique that makes it look that way? Both can look round. There is a confounding variable here and that is breasts with a tremendous amount of droop may require the anchor lift and these breasts typically produce a flatter less round appearance no matter what is done.Kenneth Hughes, MDLos Angeles, CA

Answer: Breast lift healing Anchor lift do tend to look a little boxy at first, but round out over time. It is hard to get photos many months or years later. Lifts with implants are less likely to have the boxy look.
