 A breast lift is a procedure that not only elevates the breasts higher, but can also make them look larger, because in lifting and firming them, it increases their projection.
Besides, in order to achieve best results you can also combine a breast lift with the insertion of breast implants if you wish. There are several breast implants techniques. They are:
- Two breast lift (mastopexy) techniques
Choice of which of these two techniques to use depends on the natural size of your breasts.
- Concentric (donut) breast lift
Concentric breast lift is a good choice for women with small and less sagging breasts. From around the nipple and areola, a donut-shaped piece of skin is removed. This allows the breast surgeon to move the nipples upwards. Then the remaining skin is sutured around them to fix their new position.
- Vertical breast lift
Vertical breast lift is a modification of the concentric technique. The breast surgeon will make another cut which stretches down under the breast from the nipple to the breast crease. From this area, another strip of skin can be removed. Then breast surgeon sutures the edges together. This technique tightens the breast even more than the concentric technique alone.
- Anchor-shaped breast lift
If you have large and more sagging breasts you should choose this procedure. The breast surgeon will make the same incisions as for the concentric and vertical techniques, plus another one which runs along the underneath of the breast. Looked at as a whole, these incisions have the shape of an anchor.
Then extra skin is removed as in the previous two methods, the remaining skin sutured in a more tightened shape, and the nipple and areola repositioned higher up on the breast.
