Will there be scars after a breast lift?
After any surgery, there are generally scars, and breast lift surgery is no exception. However, it is the goal and the artistry of the cosmetic surgeon to both reduce scarring and to conceal the scars whenever possible. For some breast lifts, the only scars remaining will be virtually invisible periarolar (around the nipple) scars. For breast lifts requiring the removal of more skin will have what is often referred to as a lollipop scar, with a circle around the areola and a straight-line scar straight down or diagonal to the inframammary crease. Although these scars are visible, with proper care, they can be significantly diminished by the use of proper skin care.
