There are different degrees of breast sagging. The type of breast lift performed depends on the severity of the sagging. As you might guess, more significant sagging requires more incisions to ensure there’s enough support. The most common types of breast lifts are performed using lollipop and anchor incision patterns. A lollipop incision encircles the areola and then extends vertically down the bottom half of the breast to the base. An anchor involves adding a horizontal incision just above the crease.
