Anchor Breast Lift (Inverted-T Lift)
This is the most comprehensive option, ideal for women with significant sagging or excess skin. The technique involves three incisions, including around the areola, vertical to the breast crease, and horizontal along the breast fold. The anchor lift provides maximum reshaping, making it suitable for women with larger breasts or those who have experienced major weight fluctuations or pregnancy.
Best for:Â Severe sagging, significant reshaping, and large breasts.
Lollipop Breast Lift (Vertical Lift)
The lollipop lift is a versatile technique that addresses moderate sagging while avoiding the horizontal incision used in the anchor lift. It involves two incisions: one around the areola and one vertical to the breast crease. This method reshapes the breast and raises the nipple to a higher position while minimizing scarring compared to the anchor lift.
Best for:Â Moderate sagging and reshaping without extensive skin removal.
Donut Breast Lift (Periareolar Lift)
Also called the “crescent” or “Benelli” lift, this technique is less invasive and involves a single incision around the areola. It’s common for women with mild sagging who want minimal scarring. This procedure is often done with breast augmentation for a subtle lift and enhanced volume.
Best for:Â Mild sagging and those seeking a subtle lift.
Crescent Breast Lift
The crescent lift uses a small, crescent-shaped incision along the top half of the areola. This technique offers a slight lift and is often performed alongside breast augmentation.
Best for:Â Minimal sagging and minor nipple repositioning.
