Breast Reshaping at Amelia Aesthetics

Benefits of a breast lift

Book consultation

  • Removes Excess Skin

    Damaged, excess skin is common after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging. Removing the skin restores a youthful appearance.

  • Addresses Areola Size and Nipple Placement

    A breast lift repositions the nipple and areola back to the center of the breasts. You also have the option to make the areola smaller. 

  • Reshapes and Repositions the Breasts

    Replaces sagging breast tissue to where it used to be.

Types of Breast Lifts

Each type of mastopexy has a role in the world of plastic surgery.

The right lift for you is the one that will be the most successful in helping you achieve your goals. A good relationship with a good plastic surgeon will allow you to talk through your options based on your unique anatomy and goals during your consultation.

Breast Lift Scars

What do breast lift scars look like?

Breast lifts are named after the shape of their incision. We specialize in three types: lollipop, anchor, and donut. Though the incision typically closes immediately, your scars can take up to 12 months post-op to fully heal and look their best. As they heal, scars will typically be dark, red, and more visible before they begin to lighten. When cared for properly, breast lift scars can continue to fade for years to come.

Types of Breast Lifts

How does a breast lift work?

In short, a breast lift removes excess skin to reshape the breast and reposition the areola. Each type of breast lift offers unique benefits and tradeoffs. The lollipop lift is the most common at Amelia, but all three, and even a combination of the different types, can be the right thing in the right setting. 

Lollipop Lift

The lollipop lift scar goes around the areola and down the center of the breast, kind of like a lollipop! The breast tissue from the lower part of the breast can either moved up to the center or removed to make the breast a little less heavy.

A lollipop lift reshapes the breast and holds that shape by securing the breast tissue together. This type of lift doesn’t remove as much skin so it’s sometimes not the best choice for someone with a lot of loose skin.

Addresses nipple placement and resizes the areola
Provides the greatest projection in exchange for a slightly smaller incision

Anchor Lift

An anchor lift scar goes around the areola, down the front, and along the breast crease. This type of lift removes the most loose skin to reshape the breast and reposition the nipple.

Like the lollipop, the breast tissue from the lower part of the breast can either be moved up to the center or removed to make the breast a little less heavy. The anchor lift is most useful for very large breasts or in those with a significant amount of excess skin.

Uses an additional horizontal incision that follows the natural breast fold
Typically better suited for individuals with large breasts and/or significant skin laxity
Removes excess skin, addresses nipple placement with the option to resize the areola

Donut Lift

The donut lift scar circles around the areola and is typically only used in tuberous breast cases. Though this scar is the smallest of the three types of lifts, it’s the least common type of lift because it doesn’t reshape the breast as well as the other types and puts a lot of tension on the areola. As a result, the areola can stretch out over time.

Least common of all the lift types
Changes nipple position, but with minimal reshaping of the breasts
Has a higher risk of resulting in a very large areola

Auto-Augmentation Breast Lift

What is an auto-augmentation?

Auto-augmentation is a surgical technique used during a lift to maintain the size of the breast by repositioning the tissue from the bottom of the breast to the middle.

Did you know you have a choice when it comes to the final steps of a lollipop and anchor lift?

  1. Keep the breast the same size with an auto-augmentation.
  2. Make the breast about one cup size smaller by removing the breast tissue from the bottom.

Recovery Time

What is breast lift recovery time?

Breast lift recovery is typically 7-10 days of downtime and around six weeks of lifting and swimming/submerging in water restrictions. Final results are between 9 and 12 months post-op. 

Recovery

5-7 days

Final Results

9-12 months

Breast Lift Scar Care

Do breast lift scars go away?

Breast lift scars take around 12 months post-op to fully heal and when cared for properly can continue to fade for many years. Consistent scar care and SPF are so important after your surgery, especially in the first year. Your surgeon and clinical team will be there to guide you on a protocol to help ensure your scars fade and heal their best.

Adding Breast Implants

Can you get a breast lift with implants?

Yes! Combining the two procedures is extremely common since they address different concerns. A breast lift removes excess skin to reshape the breast and reposition the nipple, while a breast implant adds volume and upper pole fullness. Combining the two procedures offers the best of both worlds.

BRA LINE LIPOSuction

Did you know bra line lipo is included?

If you have a breast lift or breast reduction in an Amelia practice, you may be offered bra line liposuction as a part of it. In most practices, it is included in the cost of the procedure. Bra line liposuction permanently removes excess fat from the sides of the body and under the arm, much where a bra band lies. Combining bra line lipo with a breast lift or breast reduction gives more shape and contour to the breast where it meets the chest.
