Frequently Asked Questions
How is short scar breast lift different from traditional breast lift?
The main difference is the incision pattern. Short scar technique uses only a vertical incision (lollipop shape) instead of the traditional anchor-shaped incision that includes a horizontal scar under the breast. This results in less visible scarring while still providing excellent lifting power.
Am I a good candidate for short scar breast lift?
Good candidates are women with moderate breast sagging who want to restore a more youthful breast position. The technique works best for patients with good skin quality and those who don't have excessive skin laxity. During your consultation, Dr. Georgina Nichols will evaluate if this technique is right for you.
Will I lose nipple sensation after short scar breast lift?
Nipple sensation is generally preserved with the short scar technique, as the nipple and areola remain attached to the underlying tissue. However, some temporary changes in sensation are normal and usually resolve over time.
How much lifting can be achieved with this technique?
The amount of lifting depends on your individual anatomy and degree of sagging. Short scar breast lift can achieve significant elevation while maintaining natural breast shape. Dr. Georgina Nichols will discuss realistic expectations during your consultation.
What is the recovery time for short scar breast lift?
Recovery is typically faster than traditional breast lift. Most patients can return to light activities within a week and normal activities within 4-6 weeks. The reduced scarring also means less discomfort during the healing process.
Can short scar breast lift be combined with other procedures?
Yes, short scar breast lift can often be combined with other procedures such as breast augmentation or reduction, depending on your individual goals and anatomy. Dr. Georgina Nichols will discuss all available options during your consultation.
