Inverted T Breast Lift
The inverted T breast lift is commonly called a
full mastopexy
or
anchor incision
mastopexy. This technique is at the extreme end of the invasiveness scale when it comes to
cosmetic breast surgery.
The inverted T incision is still in use, but has been replaced by the
vertical breast lift
in all but the most severe large breasted ptotic conditions. Inverted T Breast Lift PatternInverted T Breast Lift DecisionBefore even considering inverted T pattern mastopexy, make sure that this is truly the best surgical method for achieving your goals. Many women can be successfully lifted using a modified mastopexy technique which will be less expensive, less invasive and far easier to recover from. If the only method of achieving lasting and significant lift for your large and ptotic breasts is indeed a full mastopexy procedure such as the inverted T, then you must really consider the pros and cons to determine if you are better off with the surgery or without it. Having realistic expectations and a deep understanding of the potential for scarring and complications is crucial to making this difficult choice. The decision is very personal, but ultimately comes down to one question:Are you happy with your breasts or are least able to live with them, or are they causing you physical and emotional concerns? If they bother you that much, the answer to your question is obvious… Recommendation on Inverted T Breast LiftThe inverted T mastopexy is old technology. Like other older surgical techniques, it is still useful, but there is often another better option for many women. If you have medium breasts or large breasts with only moderate sagging, you might want to consider a vertical mastopexy as a less invasive option offering comparable results. If you have even smaller breasts and less ptosis, you should definitely not be undergoing this procedure except in the most unusual of circumstances. A full inverted T procedure can be combined with breast implant placement for a completely renewed look and feel. This is a logical choice for women who desire a BIG CHANGE, since the incisions can be utilized for both procedures, as can the anesthetic and other surgical costs.Inverted T Breast Lift to Breast Surgery 5/16/08 Revised 6/6/11 |
