Breast Lift - Short Scar

To see photo gallery for Breast Lift - Short Scar

Most surgeons in this country do the traditional “Wise pattern” or anchor scar reduction/lift. Most surgeons will also tell you that the long scars under the breasts are well hidden and they fade over time. Actually, over time, these scars migrate up the breasts, into the cleavage and lateral chest wall area outside the bikini top (matter of fact you cannot cover it up with a bikini top!). Many times this technique creates a flattened boxy looking breast with loss of shape and projection over time.

Since 2000, I have been doing the short scar or “lollipop scar” breast reduction and lift. This technique, if done correctly, will give you a better shaped and more projecting breast with a vertical scar that you can hide in your bikini top. Patient satisfaction is extremely high due to reduced scarring, improved shape, long term shape retention and preservation of good nipple sensation. I often do liposuction of the excess axillary breast tissue and lateral bra rolls at the same time to further enhance your results.

The surgery is done in our certified (AAAASF) office surgical suite under intravenous sedation. Postoperatively I do not place restrictions on your activity and most people take pain medication for 5-10 days. You need to follow our postoperative instructions to heal properly and return for office visits as requested. I will see you frequently after your surgery and after the sixth month follow up, I see my patients back on a yearly basis. I am always available to my patients 24/7.
