Donut Lift
Usually carried out consecutively with breast augmentation surgery (which is where implants or natural body fat is used to increase the size and volume of the breasts), the donut lift is only recommended for patients with mild sagging and drooping. There is a single incision made around the areola, and this is used to both lift the breast and remove excess skin, improving the position and shape of the breast tissue. The scar sits around the areola and is very discreet.
Lollipop Lift
This is the most common type of breast lift that is performed without augmentation and is recommended for patients with moderate sagging and drooping. In addition to the incision around the areola, a further incision is made down to the inframammary fold, creating the impression of a lollipop. This allows for more significant lifting and reshaping.
Anchor Lift
This breast lift procedure is recommended for patients with very large, heavy breasts. Three incisions are made – the lollipop incisions of the lollipop lift and an incision along the length of the inframammary fold. This enables your cosmetic surgeon to completely transform the shape and position of your breasts. Most patients who have the Anchor Lift technique will also require their areolas and nipples to be repositioned higher on the breasts.
