Which Breast Lift Type Do I Need
There are 3 major breast lift types that each have pros and cons: a periocular lift or donut lift, a traditional mastopexy, and a vertical mastopexy. A donut lift is desirable for patients who fear a breast lift scar. Unfortunately, this surgery often delivers a suboptimal lift and is limited in the amount of skin it can excise. The traditional breast lift is able to remove large skin volumes and includes 3 different excisions.
The issue with that design is it does not allow for a simultaneous implant augmentation so if you are looking for a breast lift and decide you also need more volume, this breast lift is not ideal for you. Finally there is a vertical mastopexy that allows for good lifting volumes as well as a simultaneous implant if needed.
