Breast Lift

Description

Raises and reshapes sagging breasts, by removing excess skin and repositioning the remaining tissue and nipples to improve its appearance. A breast lift can also reduce the size of the areola – the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If a patient’s breasts are small or have lost volume (after pregnancy), getting breast implants in conjunction with a lift can increase their firmness and size.  Scroll down for before and after photos.

Length

1 to 3 hours.  

Side Effects

Possible complications or reactions to anesthesia. Temporary bruising, swelling, discomfort, numbness, dry breast skin are also possible. The rare side effects of bleeding and infection can cause scars to widen, as well as permanent and noticeable scars.  

Recovery

Back to work: 1 week or more. 
Strenuous activities: 1 month. 
Fading of scars: May take up to a year. 

Risks

A breast lift can leave you with unevenly-positioned nipples, a permanent loss of feeling in your nipples or breasts, or wide scars.

Results

Variable. Results may enhance or last longer when breast implants are inserted as part of the procedure. The effects of gravity, pregnancy, aging and weight fluctuation may take their toll again.
