Breast Lift

Our doctors are renowned for their delicate touch and aesthetic eye for balance and symmetry. This artistic sensibility is critical to all successful plastic surgery. A properly performed breast lift, also called a Mastopexy, can result in an enhanced silhouette and younger, firmer looking breasts. The experience and training of our board certified plastic surgeons is a huge asset in a patient's quest for a natural result.

This surgery gently lifts and reshapes the breast. There is a wide variability in breast size and shape among women. Some women tend to lose support of the breast tissue from age, childbirth, changes in weight or other causes. The procedure is designed to lift the breast tissue and reposition the nipple in a more aesthetically pleasing position. The Mastopexy itself is not designed to increase the size of the breast but rather to change the shape of the breast.

There are several different types of Breast Lifting. A mini-lift may be appropriate for a woman with a small amount of Breast Ptosis, (hanging). Other women with more significant ptosis may require a full Breast Lift.

During your consultation, your surgeon will determine if a Breast Lift is necessary and recommend the procedure for you. He will describe the surgery as well as its benefits and risks.

Are You a Good Candidate?

To be a good candidate for any plastic surgery, you must have realistic expectations about what the procedure can do for you. It's important to understand that plastic surgery can enhance your appearance and self confidence but, like all plastic surgery, it is not going to solve underlying emotional issues you may have. Always think carefully about your expectations and discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon.
