In performing a breast lift surgery, there are several incision options. Dr. Adams will choose, in consultation with you, the incision technique that creates the smallest scar while lifting the breast to the desired position. The type of incision depends on the degree of sagging and the size of the breast.

• Peri-areolar lift
  • A Peri-Areolar breast lift is also known as a “donut lift.” These types of breast lifts use only a circular incision around the areola. This lift generally only elevates the areola higher and does not have the potential to significantly elevate and reshape the breast mound itself.
• Vertical breast lift
  • A vertical breast lift is also known as a “lollipop lift.” This is perhaps the most commonly used breast lift as it is able to elevate the areola as well as the breast mound.
• Full breast lift
  • A full breast adds a horizontal component under the breast, creating an "anchor" incision. This is designed to help women with significant loose skin or very ptotic or sagging breasts. This is the most common type of breast lift. 

The best candidates for a breast lift surgery are healthy women who are happy with the size of their breasts when wearing a bra, but unhappy with the shape due to excessive sagging when a bra is not worn. Women who are unhappy with their size as well, may need to consider other enhancement options like an implant or fat grafting to the breasts. 

The cost of breast lift surgery can vary depending on the type of surgery, the facility your breast lift is performed at, and the complexity of the procedure. After your consultation with Dr. Adams, a detailed cost estimate will be provided, and payment methods, scheduling, and financing options are discussed. In general, price shopping for surgery isn’t recommended. It is best to choose a plastic surgeon that you are comfortable with, trust, and one that has the proper training from an accredited plastic surgery training program.
