Why Choose Lollipop Breast Lift Surgery
For people who want to improve the appearance of their breasts through a method that provides both lifting and contouring, choosing a lollipop breast lift surgery can be a good decision. Here is why many people choose this type of breast lift:
- Targeted Lift and Reshape: The lollipop breast lift addresses moderate sagging and contouring issues. It allows for a significant lift and gives the breasts a youthful appearance.
- Enhanced Breast Symmetry: The lollipop lift leaves fewer scars than the traditional anchor lift but requires more incisions than other forms of breast lift. If scarring occurs, it is usually well concealed around the areola and the natural crease beneath the breast.
- Minimal Scarring: Many women choose a lollipop breast lift to achieve better breast symmetry. The procedure can be customized to address differences in size and shape, resulting in a more harmonious and balanced appearance of the breasts.
Who is a Lollipop Breast Lift Candidate?
Candidates for a crescent breast lift are usually those who want to improve the appearance of their breasts slightly. The following qualities make candidates ideal:
Moderate Breast Sagging: For those with moderate sagging—where the breasts droop noticeably but the nipples may still be at or just below the crease—the lollipop lift is the best option.
Nipple Position and Projection Concerns: A lollipop breast lift can change the position and size of the nipples and areolas, giving them a more natural, forward-facing position for those whose nipples point down or are swollen.
Breast Asymmetry: A lollipop lift can visually correct asymmetry, which occurs when one breast differs in size or shape. This treatment makes it possible to precisely correct each breast, which contributes to the appearance of greater symmetry.
Loss of Breast Shape and Volume: Candidates often want to regain the natural shape of their breasts that they may have lost due to aging, weight fluctuations, or breastfeeding. The lollipop lift helps create a rounder appearance by lifting the breasts.

How to Prepare for a Lollipop Breast Lift
Preparing for a lollipop breast lift involves various steps, so ensure you are mentally and physically ready. To prepare, you need to do the following:
-
Have Realistic Expectations
Talk to your surgeon about your goals to make sure they are achievable and clear about what the surgery can and cannot do. -
Health Assessment
Get a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you're healthy enough for surgery. This may include blood tests and other diagnostics.
-
Discuss Medications
Let your surgeon know about your current vitamins, supplements, and drugs. Before surgery, you might need to change or stop taking several medications.
-
Quit Smoking
Smoking increases the likelihood of problems and can seriously impede recovery. Stop smoking at least a few weeks before and after surgery.
-
Post-Surgery Clothes
Prepare loose, comfortable clothes that open in the front to prevent lifting your arms over your head after surgery.
-
Follow Pre-Operative Instructions
This may include fasting from midnight before surgery or special rules regarding bathing and clothing.
The Benefits of the Lollipop Breast Lift Procedure
Customizable Results
This process allows for many customizations to suit personal style preferences. Surgeons can customize lollipop breast lift to suit each patient’s unique needs.
Faster Recovery Time
People generally recover faster after a lollipop breast lift than after more invasive breast lift procedures. Although recovery time may vary, it results in fewer interruptions and a faster return to normal activities.
Long-lasting Results
A lollipop breast lift provides results that last for years, but no amount of cosmetic surgery can stop the aging process. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and constant weight can extend the results.
Stages of the Lollipop Breast Lift Process
Assessment and Goals
Starting with a thorough consultation, your surgeon will examine your breasts, talk with you about your desired aesthetic results, and determine whether you are a good candidate for the treatment.
Medical Evaluations
To make sure you're healthy enough for surgery, you might undergo medical exams. This covers certain mammograms and blood tests.
Anesthesia
The procedure typically involves either general anesthesia or sedation to ensure you're comfortable and pain-free.
Surgical Procedure
The lollipop lift procedure involves an incision around the areola's perimeter and a vertical incision down to the breast crease to remove excess skin and reposition the nipple.
Post-Op Monitoring
Immediately after the procedure, you will be monitored in the recovery room to ensure there are no problems after the anesthesia wears off.
Rest and Healing
You should do little to nothing for the first few days at home. You may need to use prescribed medications to control discomfort and swelling, as well as wearing a support bra.
Aftercare Instructions for Lollipop Breast Lift
Following careful post-operative care instructions is essential for a speedy recovery and optimal healing after a lollipop breast lift. Here’s a detailed guide to help you navigate the time after surgery:
-
Rest and Recovery
Make rest a top priority, especially in the first few days. To reduce swelling, sleep with your head and shoulders elevated.
-
Pain Management
Use prescribed drugs as instructed to control pain and discomfort.
-
Wound Care
Take care of the incision sites as directed by your surgeon. This may include applying any recommended ointments and cleaning the affected area.
-
Monitor for Signs of Infection
Watch for any signs of infection, such as fever, redness, or swelling from the incision sites, and tell your surgeon right away if you notice them.
-
Limitations on Activities
Avoid physically demanding tasks and heavy lifting for the first few weeks. Resume activities gradually, following your surgeon's instructions.
-
Supportive Garments
To minimize swelling and support the newly formed breasts, wear the supportive bra that your surgeon has given you.
-
Attend All Scheduled Visits
Remember to keep your follow-up visits so your surgeon can check your healing and remove any drains or sutures as needed.
