Breast Enhancement Specialist Offers Method With Less Scarring

    ANN ARBOR, MI, January 15, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Dr. Pramit Malhotra of Malhotra Center for Plastic Surgery, a specialist in breast augmentation in Michigan, uses an innovative breast lifting technique to reduce scarring. This method uses a smaller incision design, known as the lollipop, rather than the more traditional anchor-type incision.

"As one of only a few board-certified plastic surgeons in Ann Arbor, Michigan, I seek to provide my patients with beautiful results that look natural," Dr. Malhotra says. "Part of that goal is to minimize scars wherever possible. For years, the anchor type of incision was the primary method. The disadvantage of that technique was that it used an incision in the breast fold, which may result in visible scars after healing. I use new breast lifting techniques, which significantly minimize scarring."

Dr. Malhotra estimates that more than 90 percent of his patients do not need the older anchor-type incisions and can benefit from vertical breast lifts. To perform vertical lifts, he uses what is known as a lollipop incision. The incision is made around the nipple, then, in some cases, a straight line runs from the nipple to the breast fold.

"In addition to having a breast lift, many women are interested in enhancing their breasts with augmentation," Dr. Malhotra says. "The two procedures can often be performed during a single surgery, with benefits including the elevation of sagging breasts, tightened breast skin, restoration of lost breast volume and correction of asymmetry."

Dr. Malhotra also offers a full range of non-surgical treatments and other plastic surgery procedures. He provides facial rejuvenation with injectable fillers; facial sculpting, such as rhinoplasty; and body contouring, such as liposuction for Michigan men and women.

"In addition to combining a breast lift with augmentation, I sometimes include liposuction," Dr. Malhotra says. "This option is particularly suited to women with excess fat around the armpit area who want to sculpt that region.

"A combined procedure can significantly reduce downtime while achieving multiple cosmetic goals for my patients."
