What are the different types of breast lift surgeries available?
The type of lift required depends upon the shape of the breast and the amount of sagging. Minimal sagging and a tubular breast shape can be corrected with a minor lift, the Benelli lift, in which the scars are limited to the nipple areolar complex itself. Moderate sagging can be corrected with the “lollipop” lift in which a vertical scar will be present below the areola. Significant sagging requires a full pattern lift in which both vertical and horizontal excess are removed with resulting scars around the areola, a vertical scar below the areola and a transverse scar in the inframammary fold (the junction or fold between breast and abdomen). These scars usually heal extremely well.
