SCHEDULE CONSULTATIONBreast Augmentation with Lift Incisions
There are also a number of incisions that your plastic surgeon can use during the breast augmentation procedure. Please read through our options.
The Periareolar Incision
This incision is created around the outer edge of the areola. This technique is often used when a mild to moderate breast lift is performed along with an augmentation.
The Lollipop Incision
Is created around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This technique is often used for patients with a moderate degree of ptosis or drooping.
The Anchor Incision
This incision is created around the areola and vertically down the breast crease, with an additional incision along the breast crease. This option is often used for breasts with a significant amount of sagging.
The nipple and areola will then be moved higher on the breast, and the breast reshaped to achieve the desired contour. Any excess skin will be trimmed away to create a more defined outcome. Any incisions will be closed with sutures.
Recovery Process
Breast Augmentation with Lift Recovery
4-6 weeks
Following a breast augmentation with a lift, bruising, swelling, and discomfort may occur, which should fade over the first two weeks. Also, patients should avoid heavy lifting or extensive exercise for up to six weeks. Your plastic surgeon will provide you with special recovery instructions to ensure a quick and safe recovery with optimal results. Any scars resulting from surgery will begin to fade within a few months and will continue to fade for years to come. Please do not hesitate to contact Tucson Plastic Surgery if you have any concerns or questions following your procedure.
