WHAT IS
a BREAST lift?
A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging or drooping breasts and restore a more youthful and uplifted appearance. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can lead to a loss of breast volume and elasticity, causing the breasts to sag or lose their shape.
A breast lift involves removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissues, and repositioning the nipples and areolas to create a more lifted and perky breast contour. This procedure can improve breast symmetry, enhance breast projection, and boost overall self-confidence. During a personalized consultation, our experienced plastic surgeons at Wilmington Plastic Surgery can evaluate your specific concerns and goals to determine if a breast lift is the right option for you.
Benefits of a Breast Lift
Breast lifts offer a range of benefits for women seeking to enhance their breast appearance. Here are some key advantages of breast lift surgery:
- Restored Youthful Appearance: A breast lift can effectively reverse the effects of gravity, aging, and other factors that cause breast sagging. By lifting and reshaping the breasts, the procedure restores a more youthful and uplifted appearance.
- Improved Breast Symmetry: Breast lifts can address issues of breast asymmetry, where one breast may be lower or have a different shape than the other. Through skillful surgical techniques, the breasts can be made more symmetrical, creating a harmonious and balanced overall appearance.
- Enhanced Breast Projection: Along with addressing sagging, a breast lift can also improve breast projection. By removing excess skin and tightening the underlying tissues, the breasts can be lifted and positioned more forward, resulting in a more aesthetically pleasing and perky breast contour.
- Nipple and Areola Repositioning: During a breast lift, the position of the nipples and areolas can be adjusted and lifted to a higher, more youthful placement on the breasts. This helps to achieve better proportion and balance, creating a more attractive breast appearance.
- Improved Clothing Fit: With lifted and firmer breasts, clothing options often become more flattering and enjoyable to wear. Many women find that their clothes fit better and that they have increased confidence in their overall appearance.
- Boosted Self-Confidence: One of the most significant benefits of breast lift surgery is the positive impact it can have on a woman’s self-confidence and body image. Restoring a more youthful and attractive breast appearance can boost self-esteem, allowing women to feel more comfortable and confident in their bodies.

Incision Techniques
During your personalized consultation, you and your surgeon will collaborate to determine the best course of action for your unique needs. Factors such as your body type, existing breast size and shape, and your desired aesthetic vision will be carefully analyzed to guide the decision-making process.
Together, you will explore different options and find a solution that aligns with your goals. By combining your input with the surgeon’s expertise, a personalized treatment plan will be created to ensure a successful and satisfying breast augmentation experience.
TYPES OF
BREAST IMPLANTS
When considering breast augmentation, one of the primary decisions you’ll need to make is selecting the type of implant that best suits your needs. At Wilmington Plastic Surgery, we offer three options: saline-filled, traditional silicone gel-filled, and form-stable implants.
Our skilled surgeons will guide you through the selection process, taking into account factors such as your body type and current breast shape and size. However, we believe that the ultimate decision should be in your hands, empowering you to make an informed choice that aligns with your desired outcome. Don’t hesitate to consult with our expert surgeons, who can provide valuable insights and guidance on all aspects of breast augmentation.
Incision Techniques
In breast lift surgery, different incision techniques are employed to achieve optimal results while minimizing scarring. The choice of incision technique depends on factors such as the degree of breast sagging, the desired outcome, and the surgeon’s expertise. The three most common incision techniques for breast lift surgery are the anchor incision, the lollipop incision, and the donut incision.
The anchor incision, also known as the inverted T incision, is the most extensive technique. It involves an incision around the areola, a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. This technique is typically recommended for more significant breast sagging and allows for significant reshaping and lifting of the breast tissue.
The lollipop incision, or vertical incision, involves an incision around the areola and a vertical incision from the areola to the breast crease. This technique is suitable for moderate to severe breast sagging and allows for a moderate amount of reshaping and lifting of the breasts. It offers a more limited incision pattern compared to the anchor incision, resulting in potentially less scarring.
The donut incision, also known as the periareolar incision, involves a circular incision made around the areola. This technique is suitable for mild to moderate breast sagging and is associated with the least amount of scarring. It allows for a subtle lift and reshaping of the breasts, primarily focusing on repositioning the nipple and areola.
During your consultation with one of our qualified plastic surgeons, they will evaluate your specific needs and recommend the most appropriate incision technique for your desired outcomes and individual anatomy. They will discuss the advantages, potential scarring, and expected results associated with each technique, helping you make an informed decision about your breast lift surgery.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM my breast Lift surgery?
Breast lift surgery does not significantly alter the size of your breasts or enhance the upper portion of the breast. For fuller breasts, consider combining a breast lift with a breast augmentation.
If you desire smaller breasts, combining a breast lift with a breast reduction surgery may be the suitable option.
At Wilmington Plastic Surgery, our highly skilled surgeons specialize in aesthetic breast procedures and are dedicated to helping you understand which approach will best fulfill your desired outcome.
