After a thorough examination, your surgeon will advise you which is the most appropriate incision approach for your case, depending on your breast size, shape, and the aesthetic you are looking for. Scars should never be visible when you’re wearing a bra or bikini. To sum up, there are three main techniques with different scarring patterns:
● Incisions made around your areola – recommended for slim breasts that only need a little lift;
● Incisions made in a vertical line down to the crease below your breast and around your areola – recommended for breasts with mild-to-moderate sagging, that only need a slight nipple repositioning;
● Incisions made in a vertical line to the crease below your breast around your areola, along the crease in an anchor shape, and around your areola - recommended for wide breasts with a lot of sagging and nipple displacement.
While the incision is thin, the breast lift scars will be quite noticeable, with a red, raised appearance and scar lightening will take several months up to a year after surgery.
