They are many the techniques available for either breast lift and breast reduction mammoplasties, which are essentially the same procedure sharing both the name, execution steps and skin incisions, like two sides of a coin; these mammoplasties can be classified based on the pedicle or vascular and nerves carrier, the glandular plasties work and the outer skin pattern management.
The anchor or inverted T or Wise pattern are one of the most common options for breast lift mastopexies and breast reductions in breasts of severe and extreme grades of droopiness and hypertrophy, or whenever certain criteria are missing like good skin quality at lower pole, not excessively low nipple areola complex, not too long nipple to inframammary crease distance and good skills and training from the surgeon's side.
