Which Breast Lift Technique Is Right for You?
No two bodies or breast lift goals are the same. That’s why Dr. Mesna offers three distinct surgical techniques, each tailored to different degrees of sagging, skin laxity, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, he’ll recommend the method that provides the best lift with the least visible scarring.
Crescent or Doughnut Lift for Mild Sagging
Best for mild sagging and nipple repositioning
- Involves one (crescent) or two (doughnut) circular incisions around the areola
- Leaves minimal scarring, often hidden by the natural pigmentation
- Not typically recommended for patients with larger breasts
Lollipop Lift for Moderate Breast Sagging
Suitable for moderate sagging and some volume loss
- Involves a circular incision around the areola and a vertical incision down the breast
- Creates a “lollipop”-shaped scar
- Often chosen for its balance between correction and cosmetic outcome
Anchor Lift for More Dramatic Reshaping
Best for significant sagging or combination with breast reduction
- Involves three incisions: around the areola, vertically down the breast, and along the crease
- Allows greater removal of skin and tissue
- Produces an “anchor”-shaped scar but delivers powerful, lasting results
All breast lifts are performed under general anesthesia and completed as outpatient, same-day procedures.
What to Expect Your Recovery Timeline
Dr. Mesna provides personalized aftercare and is available throughout your healing process. Here’s what most patients can expect after surgery:
You can expect to see your full results several months after surgery.
Considering a Breast Lift With Implants?
While many patients choose a breast lift for a natural, uplifted look, others want to restore volume lost to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes. Dr. Mesna can combine your lift with breast augmentation to enhance both shape and fullness.
Benefits of combining breast lift with augmentation:
- Restores youthful contour and upper pole fullness
- Addresses sagging and volume loss in one procedure
- Customizable approach for natural-looking enhancement
- May reduce need for future revisions
During your consultation, Dr. Mesna will review your goals and explain which options best suit your body, lifestyle, and budget, including a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Lifts in Minneapolis, MN
Why do breasts begin to sag?
Aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes can all reduce skin elasticity over time. This causes breast tissue to lose firmness and volume, leading to a drooping or flattened appearance.
Can I get a breast lift before having children, and will it affect breastfeeding?
Yes, but Dr. Mesna often recommends waiting until after you’re done having children for the longest-lasting results. Most breast lift techniques preserve the nipple and milk ducts, so breastfeeding may still be possible, but outcomes can vary. He’ll help you weigh the timing and risks during your consultation.
How long do breast lift results last?
While a breast lift can provide long-lasting improvements, no procedure can stop the aging process entirely. Maintaining a stable weight and wearing supportive bras can help extend your results for many years.
