Breast lifts are a popular procedure for women looking to restore a youthful and uplifted appearance to their breasts. However, one of the main concerns many patients have is the potential for scarring. Understanding the different types of scars and the meticulous techniques used by Dr. Parakh, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, can help alleviate these concerns and ensure the best possible results.
Types of Scars in a Breast Lift
-
Crescent Lift Scar: This involves a small incision around the upper half of the areola. This technique is typically used for patients with minimal sagging.
-
Peri-Areolar or “Donut” Lift Scar: The incision is made around the entire areola, suitable for those with mild sagging.
-
Vertical or “Lollipop” Lift Scar: An incision is made around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This is used for moderate sagging.
-
Anchor Lift Scar: This involves three incisions: around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and along the breast crease. It is used for significant sagging.
