Lollipop Breast Lift

Breast lift will enhance a better shape to perkier, fuller, and moderate breasts. Asymmetrical breasts are common and a major problem in women of all ages. Same is the case for those who suffer from drooping breasts. Women with smaller breasts also suffer from lack of self-confidence. All these can be cured and altered through surgical breast lift. The usual side effects and risks of breast lift paved way for more advanced techniques in which the scars are vague, with more reliable firm breasts. Lollipop is one such breast lift technique more satisfying as they consume less time and is more durable.

Lollipop breast lift is one among the four main types of breast lifts. The length of incision depends upon the sagging of the breasts. Through such an incision, the areola can be placed in a more appropriate shape. The only thing is that the removal and replacement of the nipple is not possible. In this surgery, the incision can be made thinner and so an unnoticeable scar is left. The after effects of the surgery are also less when compared to other techniques as well.

As the name suggests, in a lollipop mastopexy, an incision is made around the areola and beneath it to the middle of the breast that is to the inframammary fold. The lollipop breast lift is suitable only for mild to moderate drooping of the breast. For large breasts, circumareolar or donut lift surgery is needed. That is two or three surgeries along with this surgery would be necessary for a compatible look.

The peculiarities of this breast lift are, especially for those with medium drooping breasts, because the incision is made straight from beneath the areola to the crease. So instead of a dreaded horizontal incision that does not heal well, it is replaced by a straight incision in which the tissues are not wasted but are used for augmentation of the saggy breasts. Lollipop lift is more comfortable as it gives a light scar and the surgery becomes easier than the earlier ones with fewer risks. There is less risk for problems like discoloration, swelling, bleeding etc. Even for more dramatic lift the incision can be made lengthy enough for convenience without any stretch marks or scars

Lollipop lift is also applicable were there is unevenness in breast. So instead of heavy implants, expandable implants are placed. These implants are safer than the older ones as they match the skin tissues to form a part of them. There are some insurance companies that cover severe asymmetry.
