Breast Lift

Pregnancy, nursing, excessive weight loss or gain, or the natural aging process can cause breasts to lose their natural elasticity. Breasts may begin to sag or hang. A breast lift can take years off your body by correcting a drooping bust line and restoring your curves to their youthful state.

 

The breast lift procedure begins with an incision, which is made around the areola (the dark circle of skin surrounding the nipple) and down to the curve of the breast. This is sometimes referred to as a "lollipop" incision. No horizontal scars are used in this procedure allowing quicker healing with minimal scarring.

 

Excess skin and tissue are trimmed away and the breasts are tightened and lifted around the newly contoured breast. The nipples will be repositioned to create the most natural-looking results.

 

Risks include scarring, temporary bruising and swelling. Nonetheless, a breast lift is considered an extremely safe, effective procedure. The procedure takes one to two hours to complete and can be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation for those patients wanting larger breasts in a better position.
