Dr. Anureet Bajaj 2 types of incisions for Breast Reduction procedures. During your examination at your consultation, she will discuss which type of incision will be best for you.
Vertical (Lollipop) Incision
Much like the shape of a lollipop, the vertical incision technique involves a circular pattern around the areola along with an incision running from the base of the areola down the breast to the crease or inframammary fold. The appropriate amount of fat, tissue, and skin are excised and then the incision is closed. Bust perkiness is achieved by suturing the breast glands to act as a support pillar which gives upward projection of the breast and areola.
Anchor Incision
Following the pattern of an anchor, the incision is a circle around the areola, a straight line to the inframammary fold, and then an incision underneath your breast. Excess fat, skin, and tissue are removed, and sutures are used to close the incisions. Typically, Dr. Bajaj uses a medial pedicle to ensure an adequate blood supply to your nipple-areola complex and provide you with a round, natural-appearing breast shape.
