How would the breast lift surgery be performed?
The patient and surgeon will determine the most appropriate breast lift technique based on various factors such as the desired outcome, the patient’s pre-operative state and the surgeon’s preference. Breast lift techniques typically fall into two categories: • Concentric mastopexy or “doughnut” mastopexy This breast lift surgery technique is frequently used to treat women with smaller and less severely drooping breasts. It requires fewer surgical incisions and in some cases, may be performed using a local anesthesia with a sedative instead of general anesthesia. Concentric circles are drawn and cut around the areola. This concentric shaped skin surrounding the areola is surgically removed and the nipple and areola are moved upwards. Following the movement of the nipple and areola, the outer skin surrounding the areola is sutured into place. • Anchor shaped mastopexy. This breast lift surgery technique is designed to treat women with larger, more severely drooping and sagging breasts. T
