Breast Lift

Breast lifts are ideal for women who experience breast drooping after pregnancy or significant weight loss. The operation itself is accomplished essentially by removing excess skin, and rearranging the breast tissue and nipple location. The are multiple techniques available to reposition teh tissue and depends upon each patient's unique situation.

The operation itself usually involves a surgical incision that extends around the nipple/areola along the border of the pigmented skin with the native breast skin. When dealing with large movements in nipple position and or large amounts of excess skin an additional surgical incision is required that extends vertically down towards the breast fold. In certain situations this surgical scar may need to be extended horizontally within the breast fold.

In some patients rearrangement of the breast tissue alone is adequate to restore the breast to a youthful shape. Other patients require the addition of a breast implant which provides fullness especically in the upper aspect of the breast. Saline or silicone implants can be used.

Breast lift techniques can also be used to address asymmetries with a patient's nipple sizes and/or positions. They can provide significant benefit both for woman with developmental differences and surgical differences such as after breast cancer surgery.
