The appearance of scars after a breast lift in Los Angeles depends on the type of procedure performed. For mild sagging, a circumareolar mastopexy leaves a scar around the areola, which is minimally visible. For moderate sagging, a circumvertical mastopexy creates a scar around the areola and extends vertically down the breast. For more severe sagging, a Wise pattern mastopexy (anchor incision) leaves a scar around the areola, vertically down the breast, and along the inframammary fold under the breast. During your consultation at our Sherman Oaks office, Dr. Hirsch will discuss which technique is best for your specific needs and what scarring to expect.
