BREAST LIFT
Breast lift surgery, often called mastopexy, removes excess breast skin to raise, reshape and firm your breasts. The nipples and areolas (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipples) are repositioned and the areola sometimes may be reduced in size. If desired, implants may be inserted in conjunction with the breast lift procedure.
Loss of skin elasticity, gravity and other factors such as weight loss, child birth ultimately affect the appearance of the breasts.
PAIN FREE RECOVERY
We are pleased to be the first plastic surgeons in our area to provide the ON-Q pain relief system for our post operative breast lift, augmentation and reduction patients. This system is safe, simple and very helpful by eliminating pain and the need for narcotics after surgery.
You may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery if you have one or more of the following conditions:
- Breasts that are pendulous but of satisfactory size.
- Breasts that lack substance or firmness.
- Nipples and areola that point downward, especially if they are positioned below the breast crease.
There are many variations of the design of the incisions for breast lift surgery. The size and shape of your breasts, size of your areola, and the extent of sagging are factors that will help Dr. Anderson determine the best technique for you.
