Breast Lift

Indications:

*Sagging breasts due to past pregnancies or the aging process

*Enlarged pigmented area (the nipple/areola) of the breast.

Procedure description:

*The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.

*Incisions are made around the pigmented area, sometimes extending vertically down toward the fold under each breast.

*The nipple/areola complex is repositioned higher, if necessary, and the skin is recontoured to form a new breast contour. Excess skin is removed.

Additional Procedures Which Enhance the Result:

*Breast enlargement

*Breast reduction

Recuperation and Healing:

*The patient goes home with dressing on chest. Patient can shower the next day. No external sutures.

*Initial discomfort is easily controlled with mild medication.

*Light activities can be resumed in seven to ten days; more vigorous activities may resume by one month.

Intended Result:

*An elevated, more youthful breast contour with a nicely proportioned nipple/areola complex.

Insurance Guidelines:

*The procedure is considered cosmetic and therefore is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment.
