The most common scarring following a breast lift with augmentation surgery is the standard anchor incision. This includes an incision around the areola, vertically down the breast, and through the inframammary fold. While this may seem extensive, the incisions are hidden in bras and bathing suits easily. The areola and inframammary fold incisions also tend to remain fairly hidden in general.
Sometimes, Dr. B may use a less extensive incision which places an internal bra to support and lift the breast. However, this is in cases where sagging is minimal and a patient has qualifying anatomy and goals. Dr. B can discuss this during a consultation to see if a patient is a candidate for a breast lift with a smaller incision.
