Donut incision – This incision encircles the areola The donut incision is the least invasive technique. It allows for the preservation of nipple sensation. The incision is done around the areola in a circular shape. This allows for the scarring to be nicely hidden by the darker pigmentation. The donut lift is most suitable for women with smaller cup sizes who suffer from only minor breast ptosis.
Vertical or lollipop incision – This incision encircles the areola and runs straight down to the breast crease This incision circles the areola and runs straight to the breast crease. Like the donut lift, the lollipop lift is a perfect choice for women who wish to retain sensitivity in the breasts and nipples. It also presents minimal scarring.
Anchor incision – This incision goes around the areola, down the front of the breast, and horizontally along the breast crease The anchor incision gets its name due to the shape of the incision resembling an anchor, an incision which goes around the areola, down the front of the breast, and horizontally along the breast crease. Also referred to as the “standard lift”, this incision is ideal for women with larger cup sizes. While the standard lift is the traditional breast lift and has been for many years, its downsides include higher visibility of scars, as well as some loss of nipple sensation.
A routine breast augmentation with lift surgery takes a bit longer than if you were to undergo a single procedure. However, your downtime will be shorter than if you were to have them performed separately. Dr. Prichard administers some of the best breast augmentation with lift Scottsdale can deliver.
