Overview of the Breast Lift Procedure 

A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and lift sagging breasts, giving them a firmer, more youthful appearance. The surgery typically begins with general anesthesia, ensuring the patient is comfortable throughout the procedure. The surgeon then makes carefully planned incisions, which vary depending on the level of correction needed. Common incision techniques include around the areola (periareolar lift), a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease, or an anchor-shaped incision for more significant lifting.

Once the excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted, and the nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a more youthful height. If needed, the areola can also be reduced in size for a more proportional appearance. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures, and the patient is placed in a supportive surgical bra to aid healing. Most patients return home the same day and can resume light activities within a week, with full recovery taking a few months. The final results reveal naturally lifted, firmer breasts that enhance overall body balance and proportions.

Breast Lift Techniques 

The technique used in a breast lift depends on the level of sagging (ptosis) and the desired outcome. Surgeons choose from different incision patterns to achieve the most natural and proportional results.

1. Crescent Lift – This is the least invasive technique, involving a small incision along the upper half of the areola. It’s best for minor sagging and is often combined with breast augmentation to enhance volume.
2. Periareolar (Donut) Lift – A circular incision is made around the entire areola, allowing for moderate lifting and areola resizing. It’s commonly performed alongside breast implants for improved shape.
3. Vertical (Lollipop) Lift – This method includes an incision around the areola and down to the breast crease, providing significant lifting and reshaping. It’s ideal for patients with moderate sagging who don’t need extensive skin removal.
4. Anchor (Inverted-T) Lift – Used for severe sagging, this technique involves an incision around the areola, a vertical line down, and another along the breast crease. It offers maximum reshaping and tightening, making it the best option for major breast ptosis.

Each technique is tailored to the patient’s breast shape, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon ensures the most suitable approach for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Vertical Breast Lift Procedure 

A vertical breast lift, also known as a lollipop lift, is a popular breast lift technique used to correct moderate sagging while maintaining a natural shape. This procedure involves two incisions: one around the areola and another vertically down to the breast crease, resembling a lollipop shape. This approach allows the surgeon to reshape and lift the breast without the need for a horizontal incision along the crease, making it a less invasive alternative compared to the anchor lift.

During the surgery, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is repositioned to create a firmer, perkier contour. The nipple and areola are also adjusted to a more youthful height, and if needed, the areola can be reduced in size. Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a supportive surgical bra is applied to aid recovery. Most patients experience swelling and mild discomfort in the first few weeks but can return to light activities within 7–10 days. The vertical breast lift is an excellent option for those seeking long-lasting, natural-looking results with minimal visible scarring.

Anchor Method Explained 

The anchor breast lift, also known as the inverted-T lift, is the most effective technique for severe breast sagging (ptosis). It is commonly recommended for women with significant skin laxity, large breasts, or post-pregnancy changes. This method provides maximum lifting and reshaping by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipple for a more youthful, firmer look.

The procedure involves three incisions: one around the areola, one running vertically from the areola to the breast crease, and a final horizontal incision along the breast fold—forming an anchor shape. This allows for extensive reshaping and skin tightening, making it the best option for dramatic breast rejuvenation. While it does result in more visible scarring compared to other methods, scars usually fade significantly over time with proper post-operative care. Most patients experience a noticeable improvement in breast position and firmness, with results that can last many years when combined with a healthy lifestyle and proper support garments.
