As you grow older as a woman, the shape of your breasts may change. If your breasts are drooping moderately due to weight gain or weight loss or because of a loss in elasticity, a lollipop breast lift is an ideal procedure to opt for.

What Is a Lollipop Lift?
A lollipop lift is a breast-lift technique that is used to correct sagging and restore perkiness and symmetry to the breasts. The aspects of this technique that differentiate it from other breast-lift options are the degree of sagging corrected and the type of incision used.
This technique is specifically ideal for moderate breast sagging. A donut lift is better for a smaller degree of sagging, while an inverted-T lift is best for extreme sagging.
The lollipop-lift incision is made around the areola and then down from the bottom of the areola to the center of the breast crease. This allows the surgeon to access the underlying tissues and remove a moderate amount of tissue.
Ideal Candidates for a Lollipop Lift
The best candidates for this procedure are usually women who fit a number of factors. The degree of sagging of the breast and the amount of tissue that needs to be repositioned are assessed.
Women who want a more youthful and perkier breast appearance but do not need to raise their breasts by a significant amount are ideal for this procedure.
The lollipop lift is highly recommended for women who have moderate breast sagging. Women who develop excess skin after having children or losing weight are ideal candidates.
What Happens During a Lollipop Lift?
You will first need to consult with a skilled medical professional at Aesthetic Laser Center. During the consultation, you will be advised whether the lollipop lift is right for you and whether it will give you your desired results.
The procedure begins after the doctor administers general anesthesia to the patient and the anesthesia has taken effect. The procedure usually takes about three to four hours to complete.
After the incisions are made, excess tissue is removed to lift the nipples and areolae. The incisions are stitched closed and then dressed appropriately to prevent infection.
Benefits of the Lollipop Lift
The lollipop lift restores a woman’s breast firmness and gives the breasts a more youthful look. The breasts are reshaped and tightened, and the nipples and areolae are elevated to a higher position. The size of the areola can be reduced if required.
The recovery after a lollipop lift is shorter than that of an inverted-T lift. It is also more comfortable, as there is less bruising and swelling present.
