In this world of options, there are now many options for women to choose from when considering breast surgery. In the various cases, there are different forms of cuts that have to be used to create the desired effect. Sometimes, the patients select the particular cuts because they have a way of hiding the resultant scars.
What is a breast lift? This is simply a procedure which is carried out to firm up a drooping or sagging breast. Even if you discover that your skin is stretched out and wrinkly, you might opt for a breast lift to correct the anomaly. The stretching is usually the end result of the rigors of pregnancy and breastfeeding of one child after another. Also gravity – the natural law that tends to draw all things down – as well as age also make the breast droop over time. This procedure – the lifting – is to be done by a surgeon who is certified by the board. It corrects the anomaly by simply removing excess skin around the area and bunching the rest.
A way to go about incising is to use the concentric approach. This is sometimes called the doughnut, and you would understand why it is called that if you saw it. This method is used to leave a minimum amount of scars around the skin surface. This way, a circular incision is made around the nipple and the areola area. Once this cut has been made, the remaining skin around the area is the reattached. The reason this is really concealing is that the scars around the nipple and areola can be hidden around the darker landscape.
Another way to make a really neat incision is the lollipop method. This is used when the tissue that is required to be removed is much. In terms of technique, it differs very little from the doughnut, but it has the added vertical cut below the areola too. When it comes out, it has the appearances of a lollipop stick, hence its name. The only visible scar is the vertical one, and that will fade too with time.
There is also another incision cut called the crescent. This is done as a small crescent around the breast. It is useful if the lady just wants a little tightening of the surrounding skin. The remaining loose skin is then pulled upwards and aptly tightened.
When you want to augment your breasts the technique used is to inject silicone into the skin or under the muscle of the breast.
The point on the breast that will have the procedure will be dictated by the women and it might also be based on the suggestions of the surgeon. If you want to get incisions and augmentations at the same time, you can work out the possibility with your doctor.
Before you look into the possibility of an augmentation or incision, it is better for you to consult an expert, say a board certified surgeon who can advice you on the right steps to take in your bid for better breasts.
