A breast lift is an operation that will remove extra skin from the breasts using various techniques and incisions. When the skin is removed and sutured into a more pleasing position, the breast tissue becomes lifted and reshaped. The method used for your surgery will depend mainly on your goals and assessment by Dr. Sarah and Vanessa Wong.
Periareolar lift
Also known as a “donut” lift, this breast lift incision is hidden around the areola and is excellent for candidates with minimal excess skin.
Vertical incision or “lollipop” lift
With this type of breast lift, the first incision is hidden around the areola and the second incision extends vertically down from the areola to the fold under the breast. This type of breast lift is best suited for patients with moderate breast sagging and excess skin.
Inverted T lift
This breast lift incision is also known as the “anchor” lift and runs around the areola, vertically from the areola to the breast crease, and along the breast crease. It is best suited for women with extensive sagging and excess skin.
