Several different incision patterns are possible depending on the degree of lift necessary and patient’s goals and desires. These incision patterns can either be around the nipple, around the nipple and straight down or around the nipple straight down and along the breast fold. Most commonly, our surgeons prefer using an upside-down T incision line. This incision line will surround the nipple and extend down in a vertical fashion to the inframammary fold (fold underneath breast) where it will travel along the fold. While this technique has a larger scar than some, it allows the surgeon to adequately lift breast tissue, elevate nipple, and reshape the remaining tissue in an aesthetically pleasing way. The scars are usually very well hidden in clothing and swimsuits.
