Breast Lift at CHOICE Aesthetics

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is a cosmetic procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. Unlike breast augmentation, which increases breast size, a breast lift focuses solely on improving the position, contour, and shape of the breasts. It is ideal for women who are happy with their breast volume but want to correct drooping or sagging.

This procedure can also help reposition the nipples and areolas to a more youthful location on the breasts. Women with stretched areolas may choose to have the size of the areola reduced during the lift for a more balanced look. At CHOICE Aesthetics, we customize each breast lift to suit your body’s unique needs, providing you with results that enhance your natural beauty.

Benefits of Breast Lift

Youthful Appearance

By lifting and reshaping the breasts, the procedure helps restore a more youthful and perky silhouette.

Improved Breast Shape

A breast lift enhances the contour and shape of the breasts, correcting sagging and providing a firmer appearance.

Increased Confidence

Many women report feeling more confident and comfortable in their appearance following a breast lift, especially when wearing fitted clothing, swimwear, or low-cut tops.

Long-Lasting Results

With proper care and maintenance, the results of a breast lift can last for many years, allowing women to enjoy a rejuvenated look for a long time.

Enhanced Symmetry

A breast lift can improve breast symmetry by reshaping the breasts and repositioning the nipples for a more balanced appearance.

The Breast Lift Procedure

The breast lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes between two and three hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery. During the procedure, your surgeon will make one of several types of incisions based on the degree of lift needed and the amount of skin to be removed. The common incision patterns include:

1

Periareolar incision

A circular incision made around the areola. This is used for patients who need only a minimal lift.

2

Vertical or lollipop incision

Made around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This is ideal for moderate lifts.

3

Anchor incision

A combination of the periareolar and vertical incisions with an additional horizontal incision along the breast crease. This is used for more significant lifts.

After the incisions are made, the surgeon will remove excess skin, tighten the breast tissue, and lift the breasts to a higher position on the chest. The nipples and areolas may be repositioned to a more natural and youthful placement. Once the desired shape and position are achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a surgical bra is applied to support the breasts as they heal.

Recovery Process

Recovery from a breast lift generally takes about one to two weeks. Most patients can return to work and non-strenuous activities within this time frame. However, it’s important to avoid heavy lifting, vigorous exercise, and any activity that could put stress on the healing breasts for at least four to six weeks. During the initial recovery period, you will need to wear a compression garment or surgical bra to reduce swelling and support your new breast shape.

Here’s what you can expect during the recovery process:

First Few Days: You may experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medications. Your surgeon will provide detailed instructions on how to care for your incisions and minimize the risk of complications.
Weeks 1-2: You can typically return to work and resume light activities after the first week, but avoid any strenuous activities or lifting. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress.

It’s important to follow your surgeon’s aftercare instructions closely to ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results.

Are You a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?

Ideal candidates for a breast lift are women who are in good overall health and are bothered by sagging or drooping breasts. You may be a good candidate if:

Your breasts have lost shape and volume due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss.
You are happy with the size of your breasts but want to improve their shape and position.
Your nipples point downward or sit below the breast crease.
You are a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking to ensure proper healing.
You have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery.

A breast lift can be performed as a standalone procedure or combined with breast augmentation if you desire both a lift and an increase in breast volume. Your surgeon will discuss your goals and help you determine the best approach to achieve the look you want.
