The type and extent of scarring depend on the <a href=\"https:\/\/surgyteam.com\/tr\/types-of-breast-lifts-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">type of breast lift<\/a> performed. Here are the most common types of scars:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Anchor_Inverted-T_Scar\"><\/span>1. Anchor (Inverted-T) Scar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the most common type of scar resulting from a mastopexy. It consists of three components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A circular scar around the <strong>areola<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A vertical scar running from the bottom of the areola to the <strong>inframammary fold<\/strong> (the crease under the breast).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A horizontal scar along the inframammary fold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Lollipop_Vertical_Scar\"><\/span>2. Lollipop (Vertical) Scar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of scar is less extensive than the anchor scar and includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A circular scar around the areola.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A vertical scar from the bottom of the areola to the inframammary fold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Donut_Periareolar_Scar\"><\/span>3. Donut (Periareolar) Scar<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the least invasive option and results in a single circular scar around the areola.
