Breast lift

Breast lift is really for women who either have sagging breasts naturally or it’s happened after childbirth or breastfeeding. It entails lifting the nipple to the more normal position, sometimes removing skin, and sometimes involves breast augmentation as well if the person so desires. There are different types of breast lifts so that we may just take out some skin around the areole, we may reduce the areole as part of the procedure which is what a lot of women want. It may also entail a vertical mastopexy which means that there’s an incision that goes vertically from the areole to the crease underneath the breast. Or in some cases it involves a full anchor incision, although that’s an incision that I’ve tried to get away from, and really with newer techniques we can usually accomplish that.
A breast lift will elevate the breast to its more normal position, which may be a position that it was at when you were younger. It may also increase the size of the breast by adding an implant and it gives a much more natural contour to the breast, something much more youthful and perky.
