Know More – The Anchor-shaped Breast Lift:

If you are facing really severe breast sag, then it is very likely your plastic surgeon will inform you that he needs to perform an anchor-shaped mastopexy. Don’t let that big term confuse you though. It is just a type of breast lift procedure.

The anchor-shaped breast lift technique is the most common of the mastopexy techniques and plastic surgeons have performed it quite successfully on patients. This cosmetic breast lift technique derives its name from the anchor-shaped incision that is made on the breast of the patient.

The incision is more true to the natural shape of the breast and pulls the areola, the nipple and the excess sagging skin towards each other to give the breast an enhanced look.

Besides the anchor-shaped breast lift, cosmetic surgeons can also perform the periareolar incision which involves less scarring. The difference in scarring levels is caused due to the amount of excess skin which requires the plastic surgeon to cut a longer incision in case of the anchor-shaped mastopexy.
