Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is a popular procedure to address sagging and drooping breasts. Dr. Robert Kratschmer, a board-certified plastic surgeon in Houston, offers different breast lift techniques to cater to each patient’s unique needs and goals. This guide will help you understand the various approaches and determine which one is right for you.

1. Crescent Lift: Ideal for patients with minimal sagging, the crescent lift involves a small, crescent-shaped incision along the upper half of the areola. This technique provides a subtle lift while minimizing scarring.
2. Periareolar Lift (Donut Lift): Suitable for patients with mild to moderate sagging, the periareolar lift involves an incision around the entire areola. This technique allows for more significant lifting and resizing of the areola, with scarring concealed around the areola’s edge.
3. Vertical Lift (Lollipop Lift): Recommended for patients with moderate sagging, the vertical lift involves incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This technique provides more dramatic lifting and reshaping, with moderate scarring.
4. Inverted T Lift (Anchor Lift): Designed for patients with significant sagging and excess skin, the inverted T lift involves incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the crease. This technique allows for the most extensive lifting and reshaping, with more noticeable scarring.

Dr. Robert Kratschmer, a plastic surgeon in Houston, will carefully evaluate your breasts, skin elasticity, and desired outcome during your consultation to determine the most suitable breast lift technique for your individual needs.
