Traditional Breast Lift (Anchor or Wise Pattern Mastopexy):

This technique is suitable for moderate to severe breast ptosis, where significant lifting and reshaping are required.

Incisions are made around the areola, vertically down from the areola to the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease (forming an anchor or inverted T shape).

Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to a higher position.

The areola may be resized and repositioned to achieve a more proportionate appearance.

Vertical Breast Lift (Lollipop or Vertical Mastopexy):

This technique is ideal for moderate breast ptosis, where moderate lifting and reshaping are needed.

Incisions are made around the areola and vertically down from the areola to the breast crease (forming a lollipop shape).

Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is reshaped and lifted, resulting in a more youthful and uplifted breast contour.

The vertical breast lift technique typically results in less scarring compared to the traditional anchor pattern.

Peri-Areolar Breast Lift (Donut or Circumareolar Mastopexy):

This technique is suitable for mild breast ptosis, where minimal lifting and reshaping are required.

Incisions are made around the outer border of the areola (forming a donut shape).

A small amount of skin is removed, and the breast tissue is lifted and tightened around the areola.

The peri-areolar breast lift is associated with minimal scarring and is often combined with breast augmentation for enhanced results.

Crescent Breast Lift:

This technique is reserved for cases of minimal breast ptosis, where subtle lifting and reshaping are desired.

A small crescent-shaped incision is made along the upper border of the areola.

A limited amount of skin is removed, and the breast tissue is lifted slightly.

The crescent breast lift is the least invasive option and is suitable for patients with mild asymmetry or nipple position irregularities.

During your consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon, such as Dr. Babak Hatami in Dubai, the most appropriate type of breast lift technique will be determined based on factors such as your breast size, shape, degree of ptosis, nipple position, and aesthetic goals. The surgeon will discuss the various options available, explain the anticipated outcomes and potential risks, and work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that achieves the desired breast lift results while maintaining natural-looking and proportionate breasts.
