Half Moon Breast Lift
This technique is typically recommended by doctors for women with minimal breast sagging. This breast lift requires only one incision that runs halfway along the upper outer edge of the areola. This results in a scar that is virtually invisible because it is hidden within the darker pigment of the areola.
Vertical Mastopexy
A vertical lift is ideal for women with moderate sagging breasts who require significant breast reshaping. This technique requires two incisions: one circular incision along the outer edge of the areola and one vertical incision from the lower edge of the areola to the natural crease of the breast (inframammary fold). The incisions are shaped like a lollipop.
Anchor Lift
This technique is for women who want a dramatic reshaping of their breasts with significant sagging. Also known as the “inverted T,” this technique requires three incisions: – One that wraps around the outer edge of the areola, as in a periareolar lift. – A second that runs vertically from the lower edge of the areola to the inframammary fold. – A third that runs horizontally along the natural crease of the breast.
