So how does a lollipop lift work 🍭?

Like with most surgeries, a breast lift starts with an incision, which is where the lollipop lift gets its name.

The lollipop lift is a keyhole-shaped incision that goes around the ar**la and down each side of the breast. Because only the excess skin that is causing the breast to sag is removed, the breast is perkier, but stays around the same size. And don’t worry the ni**le stays attached the entire time.

Once the skin is removed, the incision is closed. As the incision closes, the ar**la is pushed up and repositioned towards the center of the breast.

What’s left is a scar that goes around the ar**la and a single line down the front of the breast (like a lollipop!) and a perkier, more shapely breast.

One of the best parts of the Amelia NYC experience with Dr. Blau (aside from the incredible patient care and 🔥results) is you’re in NEW YORK BABY. And we love that y’all make the most of it!

We’ve heard of patients catching a show the night before, getting their post-op steps in exploring the city, and having some of the best takeout while they recover in their hotel room.

Why do Amelia’s belly buttons look so natural?

Well, part of it is the technique and placement of the incision, but a lot of it is simply practice.

Because we specialize in body surgery, we do A LOT of tummy tucks. The “belly button” part of the procedure is one of the most challenging parts and just like with most things in life, the more you do it, the better you get at it.

It’s important to note that your results, including your belly button, have a lot to do with your anatomy and healing—which is why everyone’s is a little different.

But we can promise, your surgeon is doing everything in their power to ensure your belly button will look as natural as possible.

You may have heard that final results take around a year to develop, and we get it, that sounds like a long time to wait.

But that doesn’t mean you won’t see a ton of progress while you wait for those true final results. Everyone’s healing is a little different, but as you can see, you can still look and feel great early in the process.

Give yourself and your body some grace—you’ll get there!

Though a breast lift and a reduction are very similar, there’s one key difference. A reduction removes tissue to make your breasts smaller, a lift does not.

In fact, a lift doesn’t really change the size of the breast at all. A lift is used to reshape the breast and address ar**la placement, but doesn’t add or take away significant volume—making it a great add-on to implants for those looking to add volume and shape.

“I’ve struggled with my weight from a very early age. I lost a significant amount of weight two times prior, but I still was not happy in my body because of the loose skin that came with it. Once I realized that I could achieve my dream body with the help of plastic surgery, I became focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

I started taking semaglutide in Feb 2023 and in the span of 10 months, I lost 60 pounds. During that time, I started running again to help maintain the weight loss. In Feb 2024, I had an extended abdominoplasty, breast augmentation, and a breast lift with .hunter.amelia.

He is amazing! He set realistic expectations, really listened to me, and was honest and compassionate when sharing that I would have to do my surgery in phases (I’m having my second surgery at the end of this year!) I’m already so confident in how I feel and look.

This was such a life-changing experience for me that I didn’t think was an option years ago. Dr. Hunter and Amelia were so kind and caring, they have given me so much confidence.” -Lisa

Not sure which tummy tuck is right for you?

That’s what your consultation is for! Your surgeon will make recommendations based on the amount and location of loose skin, muscle separation, and your goals.

Know the basics of the procedure you’re interested in beforehand (so you’re not caught off guard), but don’t stress about having your whole surgical plan figured out.

Your surgeon is there to answer your questions, listen to your goals and concerns, and work with you to create a plan to achieve those goals.

Don’t feel bad if it feels like you’re swimming in jargon. You’re not alone.

Hope this quick guide makes your research a little easier :)

At Amelia, reductions offer more than smaller breasts. Our reductions include a lift and bra line liposuction for better shape and perkier breasts.

Your ar**la/ni**le isn’t removed during the procedure, but it is repositioned and can be made smaller. This comes from the “lift” part of the procedure. After the excess tissue and skin is removed, the incision is closed gently pushing the ar**la to the center of the breast.

Pretty cool, right?

When it comes to submental fullness/double chin submental liposuction is the gold standard.

It’s the best, most consistent, and most economical option. Results are predictable, it’s done in just one treatment (under local anesthesia or easily added to another surgical procedure) and the downtime is only a few days.

One of the best things about having a lift and augmentation at the same time is only having to go under anesthesia once.

And even better one surgery means one recovery and lower costs.
