At Hillcrest, our board-certified team specializes in breast lift procedures. Dr. Spence listens to your concerns and partners with you to instill confidence and help you look and feel your best.
What Is a Breast Lift?
Breast lift surgery enhances the appearance of your breasts by reshaping, raising, and adding fullness to them. If you feel like you've lost breast fullness or skin elasticity, your areola appears widened, or your breasts seem saggy, droopy, or flattened, visit Hillcrest for an expert evaluation.
Evaluation for Breast Lift Surgery at Hillcrest
During your initial evaluation, we will provide all the information you need to make an informed decision. This includes potential risks and other considerations so that you have realistic expectations of your breast lift surgery. The open discussion also helps us understand your unique aesthetic goals.
Your breast lift evaluation will include:
- An overall health check.
- Examination of your breast, chest, and torso.
- Outline of new nipple position.
- Discussion of types of breast lifts and associated scarring.
- A decision about your preferred breast shape and volume.
How to Prepare for Breast Lift Surgery
Our team wants you to feel well-prepared before your procedure. We may perform a mammogram and advise you to:
- Cease the use of any blood thinning agents before your procedure.
- Stop smoking at least six to eight weeks before surgery.
What to Expect for the Breast Lift Procedure
The surgical experts at Hillcrest Plastic Surgery specialize in several breast lift techniques. The procedure we choose depends on your objectives and what our surgeons feel would most benefit you. Their goal is to leave minimal scarring and ensure a safe and quick recovery.
Each procedure produces a unique breast shape and scarring outcome:
- Periareolar: This procedure elevates the nipple while reducing excess skin and the areola's size. The scar is hidden between the nipple's dark skin and the lighter breast skin.
- Anchor lift: This lift is most effective for excessive skin and severe sagging. It is named for the incision pattern, which resembles an anchor.
- Vertical breast lift: We secure the drooping portion of the breast tissue to the chest wall to produce a more rounded, natural appearance during this procedure. Scarring resembles a lollipop, going around the nipple and down the breast's underside.
What Are the Risks of a Breast Lift?
Open communication helps our patients understand the recovery process, as well as the risks and limitations of breast lift surgery. Possible risks include:
- Loss of nipple sensation.
- Difficulty healing, especially for people who smoke.
- Scarring that takes several months to achieve its final appearance.
