Guest guest Posted June 9, 2004 Report Share Posted June 9, 2004 Not necessarily. I know Dr. Huang sometimes does an inverted U pattern, to keep from removing the nipple and to retain the sensation. It is not always possible, depending on the amount of tissue.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 I heard that when certain surgeons do a lift - you may not even have a scar visible -- is that true? Or, do you think - all lifts will have scars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 There are numerous ways and some are better suited for different body types than others. The anchor lift is my least favorite and the benelli is right behind that, personally the ones I have seen that look the best are the vertical lifts, i have seen some but not many that say they had an internal lift. I don't know much about this one and having only seen 2 pics of it I don't know what to really think of it. The women I saw that had it were not as saggy and flat as me so I am not sure if this would have worked on me anyhow. The vertical lift is usually the one that is used with the best results, at least that I have seen, for getting the breast in the right position and for reducing the size of the areaola that gets so stretched out from implants. If you look in the photo section you can view all the different lifts, my pics are a good example because I included all the pics, from prior to implants, to implants, to immediate post explant and vertical lift, to now. It is really detailed, and I did have a really great outcome scar wise. I am small, tiny really, but that is ok. I am a small woman. hope this offers some help. I am not good at describing these lifts, if you look at the photos they really show what I am saying. vertical is also called lolipop because it looks like a round lolipop around the nipple with a line down each breast and NO scar in the crease. The problem with crease incisions is that later if the breasts end up smaller the incision may end up higher than the crease and remain visible.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 ALLL LIFTS WILL HAVE SOME KIND OF SCAR, but they vary. If you saw my photos you can see that they are invisible and no one would ever know if I had surgery or not unless they got right up close to me, even then it is very very light. Everyone heels differently, even with an internal lift, your going to have an incision somewhere. hugs C In , PACCOAST@a... wrote: > I heard that when certain surgeons do a lift - you may not even have a scar > visible -- is that true?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Avoid PSs who don't think outside the box and use the traditional "anchor" mastopexy method. There are newer and more innovated techniques used by Dr. , Dr. Feng and Dr. Spear.msnico80 <msnico80@...> wrote: I wanted to know what it is the common pattern surgeons use for removing implants and lifting the breast. By that question I mean what will the scar look like. Is there a standard pattern the doctor will use - round the nipple to lift and scar under the breast to remove implant?

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Lynda: Hi.I'd like to preface this post with stating that I don't mean to be rude but the "And Haung" reply to my posts (second time) has made me a bit uncomfortable. If you want to recommend Dr. Haung that's fine, but I feel the "And Haung" that you leave as a reply to the end of my posts suggests that somehow I *should* have added Huang's name to the three doctors I list here.I feels it's condescending (even if that is not your intention) as I have absolutely NO responsibility whatsoever to endorse a doctor I choose not to recommend and I'm entitled to that opinion as a patient and consumer and I would hope you would respect my decision. Let's just say I don't feel about Huang the way you do.I have my reasons.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 Just include her the first time. It does seem that you intentionally exclude her often.
