One of the most common concerns women have when considering breast lift surgery to lift sagging breasts is the "scar." It is a natural worry—everyone wants the beautiful, lifted result, but nobody wants an obvious reminder of the surgery. If you are struggling with drooping breasts (also known as breast ptosis), understanding the different types of incisions is the first step toward a confident decision.
Dr. Mansi Dhende is one of the Best Female Plastic Surgeons in Delhi, who is board-certified by IAAPS (Indian Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons). Dr. Mansi Dhende performs Breast Lift Surgery in Delhi with every effort to reduce resulting scars as much as possible. In this informative article, we break down the different incision patterns used when breast lift surgery is performed at Dr. Mansi Dhende Aesthetics, the Best Plastic Surgery Clinic in Delhi.
What is Breast Lift Surgery?
Before diving into the scars, let's understand the procedure. A breast lift, or Mastopexy, is a plastic surgery designed to lift and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This reshapes and supports the new breast contour, repositioning the nipple to a more youthful height.
Different Types of Incisions in Breast Lift Surgery
Not every woman with drooping breasts needs the same approach. The "best" incision depends entirely on the degree of breast sagging you have.
1. The Crescent Lift
This is the most minimal incision type. A small, crescent-shaped piece of skin is removed just above the areola (the dark skin around the nipple).
The Right Candidate: Women with very mild sagging of breasts or those who only need a slight upward shift of the nipple.
The Advantage: The resulting scar is almost invisible as it sits right at the border where the dark areola meets the lighter breast skin.
2. The Donut Lift (Benelli Incision)
An incision is made in a circular shape entirely around the border of the areola.
The Right Candidate: Women with mild to moderate sagging of breasts. It is also excellent for women who wish to reduce the size of their areolas simultaneously.
The Advantage: Like the crescent lift, the scar is hidden along the natural border of the areola. It provides a more significant lift than the crescent technique.
3. The Lollipop Lift (Vertical “Keyhole” Incision)
This involves two incisions: one around the areola and one that runs vertically from the bottom of the areola down to the breast crease.
The Right Candidate: Women with moderate breast sagging who need significant reshaping and lifting but don't have a large amount of excess horizontal skin.
The Advantage: It allows the plastic surgeon to reshape the entire breast mound, providing a very perkier, youthful "projected" look without the need for a horizontal scar.
4. The Anchor Lift (Inverted-T Incision)
This is the traditional breast lift technique. It involves three incisions: one around the areola, one vertical line, and one horizontal line along the natural fold of the breast (the inframammary crease).
The Right Candidate: Women with significant breast sagging or those who are combining a lift with a large breast reduction surgery.
The Advantage: This provides the maximum amount of lift and allows for the removal of the greatest amount of excess skin. Despite having more incision lines, the horizontal scar is hidden within the natural fold of the breast.
Can I Lift Sagging Breasts Without Surgery?
It is very common for women to search "how to lift breasts without surgery," "tighten breasts without surgery”, “breast firming lotions," or "chest exercises" to avoid surgery.
The Reality: While a good bra provides temporary support and exercise can strengthen the chest pectoral muscle underneath the breast tissue, neither can physically remove the excess, stretched-out skin that causes drooping breasts. Non-surgical treatments like laser or radiofrequency may slightly improve skin texture, but they cannot provide a physical lift. Breast Lift Surgery remains the only safe & permanent way to lift sagging breasts effectively.
Can I Increase My Breast Size with Breast Lift Surgery?
A common misconception is that a lift adds volume. In reality, a breast lift only reshapes your breasts.
The Solution: If you want to lift your breast and increase breast size in one surgery, Dr. Mansi Dhende performs a "Breast Lift with Breast Augmentation” using Breast Implants or Breast Fat Grafting, this combined single procedure is called Augmentation-Mastopexy.
