Breast Lift

The DrD Lollipop Breast Lift

Our preferred method, the Vertical “Lollipop” technique, is renowned for creating beautifully rounded, natural shapes. 100% of our patients having a breast lift experience the long-term benefits of this approach, with Dr. Drielsma’s extensive experience, ensuring natural results tailored for your body. This technique minimises scarring and supports the breast with natural tissue, evolving gracefully over time.  Dr Drielsma utilises his signature all natural internal bra sling  which gives added longevity to breast support.

Advantages of the Lollipop technique

• No scar under the breast – this means less than 50% scarring compared to anchor (or inverted T) methods
• No scar showing in the cleavage
• No scar showing in the “side boob”
• No “Boxy breasts ”  – natural rounded breasts long term
• No “dog ears” in the cleavage or out wide.

In Summary – An all natural beautiful result

The alternative anchor or “inverted T” incision technique results in unnecessary scarring and inferior shape to the lollipop method.  The Lollipop technique is Dr Drielsma’s preferred method of breast lift surgery.

The “Lollipop” Technique can:

• Help to deliver a natural shaped result. This is due to the fact it does not constrict the lower breast pole skin envelope which means the remaining breast tissue can settle into a natural rounded shape.
• The natural resulting shape of a lollipop reduction/lift tend to improve with time.

Dr Drielsma performs the lollipop technique in all cases of breast lift (mastopexy) surgery.  Dr Drielsma will discuss this with you following examination at consultation.

Breasts evolve over time, as events like pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight fluctuations and even the natural process of ageing can result in sagging and drooping breasts.
A breast lift restores the sagging breasts by lifting and reshaping. Each procedure is meticulously tailored, starting with a consultation that discusses your vision, and considers your skin type and tone.

Dr Robert Drielsma is renowned for his Lollipop Breast Lift technique.  During the procedure, Dr Drielsma will tighten the breast tissue and skin, and meticulously adjust the nipple and areola’s position and proportion to match your vision. Additionally, this procedure addresses excess skin removal and can rectify inverted nipples. The surgery will usually take around 3  hours.  This duration, however, may vary to meet your unique needs and desired outcomes.

For those who prefer a natural enhancement without additional volume, our breast lift without implants offers an excellent alternative, relying on your existing breast tissue and skin elasticity. We also discuss options like fat transfer or implants for those needing extra fullness.

Breast implants carry their own risks and complications such as capsular contracture (hardening) and rupture.  The chances of requiring revisional surgery when breast implants are used is very high and the longevity of breast implants should generally be considered as only 10 years or less.   Dr Drielsma recommends using all natural tissue when lifting the breast and when feasable without the insertion of breast implants,

Each Mastopexy procedure Dr Drielsma performs is a symphony of art and science, ensuring:

• Harmoniously balanced breast sizes
• Elevated breasts and nipples for a youthful profile
• Tightened breast tissue and skin
• Optional fat grafting to sculpt your desired silhouette.
