Breast Lift

Restoring youthful, feminine
contours with breast lift surgery

While breast augmentation is the most common plastic surgery procedure among women looking to revitalize the appearance of their chest, breast enhancement with breast implants can only affect the size and shape of the breasts rather than their angle or projection.

A range of factors can change the appearance of the breasts including breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging. When breast skin has lost elasticity and the breasts have drooped below the breast crease and the nipples have drifted downwards as well, a cosmetic surgery known as a breast lift will be required to help correct this situation. Our breast lift specialist, Dr. Kiran Gill, often performs breast lift surgery in tandem with other cosmetic procedures such as breast augmentation or breast reduction to achieve comprehensive results and the youthful, perky breast shape desired by most women.

Types Of Breast Lift Surgery

There are several different types of breast lifts that combine different types of incisions with different reshaping techniques. The type of mastopexy or breast lift will be dependent on the amount and quality of the skin and the position of the nipple-areola complex.

There are three types of mastopexy incisions:

  • Periarolar
  • Lollipop (vertical)
  • Wise pattern

The type of incisions will depend on the amount of skin to be removed. In general, the larger the lift, the greater number of incisions. Our breast lift surgeons use precise surgical techniques that minimize incisions and reshape the underlying breast tissue to a more youthful position.

Candidates For Breast Lift

You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if your breasts have started to sag or droop. You may also be a candidate if you have loose skin or excess skin after losing volume or undergoing frequent weight fluctuations. As long as you are in good health, both physically and psychologically, and at a stable weight, you can undergo a breast lift or other body contouring procedure.

The best candidates for this procedure also have realistic expectations about the outcome of surgery. It’s important to remember that a breast lift does not increase the size of your breasts, but it can make them look rounder and more youthful. You will need to undergo a breast augmentation procedure if you want to increase breast volume.
