Overview

What is a Breast Lift?

The Procedure

What does the procedure involve?

Lifts and reshapes the breast by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue and nipple-areola complex higher on the chest. The incision pattern depends on the amount of lift required and may be around the areola, vertically below it, or in an anchor pattern.

Candidacy

Who is a suitable candidate?

Women who have lost breast firmness and elasticity following pregnancy, breastfeeding or significant weight loss, or who have sagging or drooping breasts and want a firmer, more youthful breast shape.
