Breast Lift

Who Is A Candidate?

• If you have sagging breasts due to past pregnancies, genetics, or aging.
• If the sagging is too great to be treated with an implant alone.
• If your nipple-areolar complexes (pigmented areas around nipples) are enlarged.

Intended Results

• An elevated, more youthful breast contour.
• Nipple-areolar complexes of the desired size and at the correct height.

The Procedure

• The breast lift procedure is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia.
• The design of the incisions can vary but usually include incisions around the nipple-areolar complex and the crease under the breast.
• The insertion of an implant as well, may or may not be advisable.

Recuperation and Healing

• The patient goes home with only light dressings over the incision lines.
• Sutures are usually dissolvable. Any non-dissolvable sutures will removed.
• Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication.
• Light activities may be started in 7-10 days.

Other Options

• Additional procedures which may enhance the result are a small breast reduction or breast augmentation.

Note

• The specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for a given individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications are rare.
