Home  /  Breast Surgery  /  Breast Lift

In some patient’s gravity and breast-feeding take a toll on a woman’s breasts. The result is sagging of the breasts that many women find undesirable. After having a breast lift, most women report a dramatic increase in self-confidence, which allows them to perform their daily activities at a higher level. In order to rejuvenate a woman’s breasts the surgeon can perform a variety of techniques to lift the breast.

Anchor Mastopexy

This technique is recommended for women with increased drooping of their breasts. Post-bariatric patients, or patients that have lost significant amounts of weight, are great candidates for this procedure. To perform the lift, the surgeon makes a circular incision around the areola in addition to two triangle shaped incisions on the bottom of the breast. The resultant scar takes the form of an anchor, which is where this procedure gets its name from.
