breastlift5

One of the most satisfying aspects about being a plastic surgeon is being able to help patients feel better about themselves and their bodies. This is often achieved by body enhancing surgery, such as a Brazilian butt lift, Mommy Makeover, breast augmentation, tummy tuck or liposuction. Yet these days, the body shaping procedure that more and more of my patients are asking for is a breast lift. And they’re not alone. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast lifts have grown 70% since 2000, outpacing breast implants 2-to-1.

Like these patients, maybe this type of cosmetic surgery could benefit you too. Have your breasts begun to droop and sag? Do your nipples now point downward rather than straight ahead or upward? Do you long to once again have breasts that look youthful, uplifted and voluptuous? If so, a breast lift can be a very effective solution.

Positive benefits of a breast lift

Having a breast lift can dramatically change not only the way you feel about yourself as a woman but how you look in bathing suits and lingerie, the type of clothes you want to wear, and the way you’re perceived by others. What I hear from my patients who have had a breast lift is that it was a very positive turning point in their lives, helping them feel younger, sexier and more attractive.

What happens during a breast lift procedure?

A breast lift is a surgical procedure that raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast silhouette. Rather than making breasts larger, a breast lift reshapes and repositions breasts that have sagged and dropped as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, age, gravity or heredity. Sometimes the areola (the pink skin surrounding the nipple) becomes enlarged over time; a breast lift can reduce this as well.

During the procedure, a plastic surgeon moves the nipple and areola to a higher position, repositions the breast tissue to a higher level, removes excess skin from the lower portion of the breast, and reshapes the remaining breast skin. A variety of incision patterns are possible, depending on the desired results and the correction needed. Another benefit of this procedure is that in most cases, breast and nipple sensation can be preserved.

3 most common reasons why women choose breast lift surgery

1) To restore a better breast shape and overall appearance following pregnancy and breastfeeding. Pregnancy often causes breasts to stretch and sag. A breast lift, with or without implants, can help undo these changes and restore a more youthful, attractive bust.

2) To improve breast contour after significant weight loss. Losing a lot of weight often means losing breast volume. By removing excess skin and tightening the remaining breast tissue, a breast lift can help restore a more proportional, youthful breast shape.

3) To have sexy, perky breasts again (or for the first time). Some of my patients have had drooping breasts since their teens. Breast lift surgery can help them get the breast shape and fullness they have always wanted.

What breast lift surgery won't do

A breast lift does not significantly change the size of your breasts or round out the upper part of your breast. If you want larger, fuller breasts, consider having breast augmentation surgery at the same time as a breast lift. If you want smaller breasts, you might want to combine a breast lift and breast reduction surgery.
