A periareolar breast lift is used when the degree of sagging is minimal. The only incision is around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple). Excess skin is removed and the areola and nipple are repositioned to a more optimal, higher location. The next breast lift technique, often called a lollypop lift, involves an incision down the breast as well as around the areola.
Typically, insurance companies pay all or part of medical procedures that they deem necessary, while those labeled as optional are not covered. Therefore, the qualification of breast reduction usually depends on the reason for the procedure. If your only concern is cosmetic improvement, it will almost certainly be an out-of-pocket expense.
Upper eyelid revision is accomplished with an incision from one corner of the eye to the other, sometimes extending slightly past the corner of the eye to the "crow's feet." Excess fat is extracted, excess skin is trimmed, and the incision is closed with absorbable sutures. The incision follows the natural crease of the eyelid, so it is well disguised once healed.
