Breast Lift
Overtime, many women begin to notice undesirable changes in their breasts. Whether it is due to weight loss, pregnancy, or the natural aging process, a loss of elasticity in the breasts can cause them to sag or droop, losing their natural shape and firmness. Understandably, these changes can have a detrimental affect on a woman’s self-esteem. Luckily, a breast augmentation in Miami can lift and tighten the breasts in order to improve their shape and restore their perky, youthful appearance.
There are three different incision sites used for a breast lift or mastopexy, including the anchor, donut, and lollipop incision. Depending on your needs and goals for the procedure, your plastic surgeon will help you determine the most suitable incision for you.
What Is A Lollipop Incision?
Instead, as its name implies, it makes a circular incision around the areola and then extends downward in a straight line to the breast crease. A lollipop incision is ideal because it enables the plastic surgeon to reposition the breast tissue without putting undue stress on the areola. Thus, as the breast tissue is lifted, the tension is evenly distributed, which minimizes the risk of wide scars.
Lollipop Incision
In most cases, this procedure takes approximately two hours. Regardless of which incision is used, once the excess skin has been removed, the nipple and areola are repositioned and the surrounding skin is brought down and together, which effectively reshapes the breasts.
Lollipop Incision Advantages
One of the advantages of the lollipop incision is that the resulting scar tends to heal very well. In fact, in many cases, overtime it is almost imperceptible. A scar cream can be used to help speed up the healing process and ensure that you are bikini ready in no time.
