The lollipop lift is more suitable for moderately sized breasts. The incision is made around the areola, and then an incision is made down the center of the lower breast. The incision looks like a lollipop on a stick, hence the name. No further incisions are made, and there is no cut under the breast. The surgeon can lift the breast and reposition the nipple into its correct location with a small space.
The anchor lift technique gets its name from the shape of the incisions used during the procedure, which resemble an anchor or inverted “T.” It’s generally not suitable for breasts of moderate size. The procedure involves making an incision around the areola (the pigmented skin around the nipple), proceeding straight down the middle of the breast, and continuing around the lower breast crease. This allows the surgeon to reshape the breast tissue and lift the nipple.
A donut lift is a modified method of breast lift, aiming to deliver equivalent results through a less extensive surgical procedure and minimal scarring. Donut breast lift surgery removes a small amount of excess skin and repositions the breast shape to achieve a more youthful appearance to mild to moderately sagging breasts.
A crescent lift is a type of breast lift procedure that involves making a small, crescent-shaped incision around the upper half of the areola. The crescent lift is often preferred when the degree of breast sagging is not severe enough to warrant a full breast lift with larger incisions. Due to its limited incision size, the crescent lift typically results in less scarring and a shorter recovery time compared to more extensive breast lift techniques.
