Combat Sagging With a Breast Lift
What if you didn’t have to live with the effects of gravity, genetics and aging? The breast lift procedure is a cosmetic treatment designed to help women achieve a more attractive, youthful breast contour.
Breast Lift Types
Circumareolar — This technique is used on women needing minimal lifting. A small incision is made around the areola, leaving a small, barely visible scar around the outside of the areola.
Vertical (lollipop scar) — The traditional full scar mastopexy (inverted-T) is often used on women who need extensive lifting. With this approach, the incisions will include the ‘lollipop’ incision plus an incision that runs vertically along the lower breast crease.
Wise pattern (anchor scar) — The surgeon makes a circular incision positioned around the areola, an incision in the breast crease, and a vertical incision positioned on the underside of the breast.
Breast Lift Benefits
A breast lift may be the perfect procedure for women looking to achieve younger looking breasts. Also called mastopexy, your cosmetic surgeon “lifts” and reshapes the breast with state-of-the art cosmetic body contouring techniques. Essentially, the breast tissue is manipulated, and the nipple repositioned, to present a firm, voluptuous breast. In many cases, the techniques used during breast lift actually create a fuller, larger breast appearance.
Are You a Candidate?
Good breast lift candidates are healthy women over age 18 who have realistic goals. Breast lift is a popular choice after pregnancy (when no additional births are expected) and is often performed in conjunction with breast enlargement to help patients reach their ideal breast size and shape. For many women considering a breast enlargement, however, a breast lift may be all that is needed to achieve a fuller breast appearance and a more youthful, “perky” look.
