What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, known as a mastopexy, is performed to address breasts that appear (ptotic) droopy. The procedure involves lifting the position of the nipple and often, increasing the breast volume, especially in the upper part of the breasts.

Ptotic breasts may occur because they developed that way, or is more often the case, they drop with time. The skin and ligaments which maintain the shape of the breasts stretch and elongate, and lead to ptotic breasts. The ptosis is worsened by the loss of natural breast tissue over time. Breast ptosis affects women of all ages.

When performing a breast lift, regardless of whether an implant is required, there are three types of scar patterns that may be used for the procedure. These are as follows:

Circumareolar “doughnut” technique or Benelli technique – This technique involves a circular incision made around the areola. This is the least invasive breast lift procedure that achieves a small degree of lift. It results in a scar around the areolar and is also suitable for reducing the size of the areolar. However, there is a limit to how much the areolar can be reduced as they typically tend to stretch back out again especially when implants are used. It can also create a very flat looking breast.

Vertical or lollipop technique – This technique got its name ‘lollipop’ from the type of scar it leaves. The technique results in a scar that extends around the areola and down the midline of the breast to the lower breast fold. Although this procedure is slightly more invasive, it achieves a larger degree of lift with some slight reduction in natural breast tissue volume.

Anchor technique – The same as a lollipop technique, this technique also includes a scar along the lower breast fold, hence, an anchor pattern. This is required in those who require a significant lift and possibly need a reduction in natural breast tissue volume.
