Breast lifts have traditionally been performed through an anchor incision, i.e. a scar around the areola, a vertical scar from the areola to the base of the breast, and an incision along the base of the breast. Recent improvements include the vertical scar technique and the circum-areolar technique leaving a scar around the areola only. The author will present a new technique where tightening is done under the areola, and an absorbable mesh (internal bra) is used to support the breast.
