Breast Lift

Breast Lift

Pregnancy, aging, and weight loss can have a significant impact on the quality of your breast tissue. Over time, gravity can impact the position and projection of your breasts, leading to breast ptosis (sagging). Women who have sagging or drooping breasts often feel that they lack a youthful appearance. Women with adequate breast volume who have begun to experience ptosis could benefit from restoring breast firmness and projection. The surgeon performs breast lift surgery to restore youthful and attractive breasts.

Elevate Your Breast Appeal

Factors such as breastfeeding, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, genetic traits, and gravity can negatively affect breast elasticity. Breast lift surgery revitalizes the breasts, restoring their firmness, tautness, and position. Breasts may sag due to a higher ratio of skin to breast tissue. This issue can be addressed by augmenting volume, eliminating surplus skin, or a combination of both. We can elevate the breasts by excising excess skin and fortifying the breast tissue.

A Journey to an Improved You

Breast lift surgery comes with multiple benefits. It can enhance the firmness of the breasts, correct the projection of nipples, rejuvenate the overall appearance, and improve breast shape while reducing under-breast irritation. If the areolas have enlarged over time, this procedure can reduce their size. Additionally, if the nipples are oriented downwards or situated low on the breast, a breast lift can adjust their position. It can also improve the symmetry of breasts that differ in size or shape.

Breast Lift Options

Various incision options are available for your breast lift surgery, and the one to be used for your procedure will depend on the extent of correction required. Your surgeon will determine the best incision for you during your initial consultation. During the procedure, excess breast skin is removed, and the tissue is repositioned on the chest and sutured into place.

Periareolar Lift

• Ideal for women who require minimal correction of breast sagging
• Two circular incisions are created around the areola to remove a donut-shaped portion of tissue
• The remaining skin is pulled inward and reattached to the nipple to lift and reshape the breasts

Vertical Lift

• Ideal for women who require moderate correction of breast sagging
• A “lollipop incision” incision is created along the outer edge of the areola and vertically down the lower breast tissue
• Excess skin is removed to place the breasts in a higher position

Full Lift

• Ideal for women who require moderate correction of breast sagging
• A “lollipop incision” incision is created along the outer edge of the areola and vertically down the lower breast tissue
• Excess skin is removed to place the breasts in a higher position

Combining a Breast Lift and Augmentation

Women with breast ptosis who also lack the attractive volume they desire should consider combining a breast augmentation with their lift. A breast lift cannot restore lost volume, and an augmentation won’t improve drooping breast tissue. Women with breast ptosis at the time of their augmentation are more likely to develop future complications, such as double-bubble deformity or implants that bottom out. A breast lift will strengthen your breast tissue, and augmentation will improve your breast shape and size.
