Thinking About Getting a Breast Lift?

Undergoing breast lift surgery can have many positive effects. Here are just a few of the benefits of this breast enhancement procedure.

Perkier Breasts

When you develop breast sagging, you lose firmness. Breast tissue sits below the inframammary line, and your breasts no longer have the youthful appearance they once did. With a breast lift, we can create breasts that look perky and natural.

Improved Shape

Drooping breasts are also known to appear deflated, lacking their attractive shape. When we lift the breasts, we then enhance their shape and restore definition. Women who have significantly lost volume and shape may consider combining their breast lift with implants.

Natural Nipple Positioning

If you are considering a breast lift, you may find that your nipples have poor positioning. They may be placed low on the breasts, or they may point down toward the floor. Proper nipple placement is an important aspect of creating a natural looking breast.

Areola Resizing

Breast laxity can often be associated with enlarged or stretched areolas. For some women, these enlarged areolas can create an unattractive breast appearance. We can improve the size and positioning of the areola for a more pleasing look.

Your Breast Lift Surgery

Dr. Wald will evaluate your breast needs and enhancement goals to determine the best option for you.

The Procedure

  • Breast lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure with the patient under general or local anesthesia.
  • Depending on the type of correction needed, your surgery may take between one and a half to three and a half hours.
  • An incision is created along the front of the breast through which your breast tissue is lifted and repositioned.

Incision Type

The extent of correction required will impact the type of incision used for your surgery. One of the following incisions will be chosen based on your physical needs and aesthetic desires:

  • Donut: around the outer border of the areola
  • Lollipop: around the areola and vertically down the lower breast tissue
  • Anchor: includes the areola and runs vertically down the lower breast and across the inframammary fold

Immediately After

You will experience bruising and swelling immediately following your surgery. Your stitches will be covered with gauze, and a surgical bra will hold your breasts in place. Pain medication may be prescribed to control any associated discomfort.

1 Week After

At the end of week one or into the second week, your stitches will be removed. You may notice some initial scarring. You should avoid all strenuous physical activities during this time. You should be able to return to work after the first week.

2 Weeks After

By three or four weeks you should be able to resume your regular exercise routine. You may still have swelling that will affect the appearance of your breasts. You should still wear a support bra to help maintain the shape of your breasts.

6 Weeks After

You should be back to all normal activities, and most major swelling should have subsided. Minor swelling can last for six to nine months. However, the majority of your breast results should be noticeable at this time.
