The full mastopexy breast lift is also known as an anchor lift or inverted-T. This breast lift will correct severe grade III ptosis. Your plastic surgeon will make an anchor-shaped incision that starts at the base of the areola and travels to the bottom of the breast, where it meets the ribcage. Your plastic surgeon then cuts out a crescent-shaped piece of skin right above where the breast meets the rib cage. He/she will remove and re-position your nipple so that it sits in a more youthful position.
