Your Breast Lift Procedure
The plastic surgeons at our offices take the time to craft each procedure according to the patient's needs. During your consultation our surgeons are happy to explain the different approaches and help you select a surgical plan tailored to your desired outcome. While all of our breast lift patients want to restore a more natural, attractive, and comfortable shape to their breasts, some have additional concerns such as disproportionate breast volume or severely downward-pointing nipples, which your surgeon can address in more detail. Our breast lift photo gallery helps you see the kind of results this procedure can achieve.
At our plastic surgery centers, we offer three basic approaches to breast lift surgery:
- Circumareolar: Also called a donut or a Benelli mastopexy, this approach corrects mild breast sagging for women with smaller breasts by removing excess tissue and skin through a circular incision around the areola.
- Lollipop: Using this technique, the surgeon corrects moderately sagging breasts by removing excess breast skin through an incision that encircles the areola and runs vertically toward the breast crease. He then repositions the nipple and areola on the breast mound.
- Anchor: For breasts that sag severely, this approach allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and fat by means of an incision around the areola, below the breast, and along the breast crease.
Before your procedure, your doctor and our helpful, friendly staff will make sure you understand what to expect from your procedure and plan for a healthy recovery. Afterward, you will have follow-up meetings to ensure that you are recovering comfortably.
Our highly-trained surgeons are dedicated to providing quality procedures within a safe, comfortable environment where you feel valued and respected.
