Time, gravity, weight gain or loss, pregnancy, and breastfeeding can all have a big impact on the shape and tone of a woman’s breasts. No matter how well you take care of yourself, there’s no diet or exercise that can restore breast volume.
Breast lift surgery is a popular solution for women who want a firm, shapely contour. Women who also want to increase their breast size can have implants inserted at the same time they are having a breast lift procedure.
If you’re interested in having a breast lift in Beverly Hills, Kadz Plastic Surgery offers the procedure to correct imbalances and restore a more youthful look to your breasts.
Also known as mastopexy, a breast lift is a surgical procedure that changes the shape and firmness of the breasts. Women might choose to have the procedure if they want to improve the appearance of sagging breasts but don’t necessarily want to change their size.
During this procedure, the size and position of the nipple and areola may also be altered to keep them in proportion with the breasts.
Reasons some women consider a breast lift include:
Patients interested in breast lift surgery must first schedule a consultation and undergo a complete health evaluation to determine whether they’re a good candidate for surgery. In our consultation, we take detailed measurements and photographs of your breasts to make sure that we understand your goals and can give you the results you want.
We encourage patients to ask questions during the consultation to make sure that they understand the breast lift procedure. It may be necessary to get lab tests, including a baseline mammogram, to prepare for the surgery.
Because anesthesia is used for this procedure, you will need to arrange for a ride home. We recommend that you have someone stay with you for at least 24 hours after arriving home.
Full recovery can take up to one month. We will provide all of the information you need for aftercare. The look and feel of your breasts will continue to improve for several months after your surgery. In some cases, it can take up to six months before the final results are realized.
The most common breast lift techniques in Beverly Hills are Crescent, Donut, Lollypop, and Inverted-T. Each technique was developed to address a specific need. The size, shape, and volume of your breasts determine which technique will be most effective.
We can discuss the different techniques and which one will best help you achieve your aesthetic goals during your consultation.
This technique is best for correcting minor sagging and is often recommended for women who are concerned about scarring. The Crescent technique involves a small crescent-shaped incision at the top of the areola. The surgical scar is hidden on the rim of the areola and is usually minimally visible even directly after surgery.
The Donut technique is recommended for women with mild to moderate sagging. In this procedure, the areolas are removed, the breasts are repaired, and the areolas are repositioned. Scars are minimal and hidden along the rim of each areola.
The Lollypop technique is good for women with larger breasts and moderate to severe sagging. The areolas are removed, and excess skin comes off through a vertical incision under each breast (like a lollypop stick). The areolas are reattached in the new, correct position.
The Inverted-T technique is the most invasive but is sometimes necessary to produce the best results for women with very large breasts and severe sagging and volume loss. The Inverted-T is like the Lollypop technique, only it includes an additional horizontal incision made under each breast.
Most healthy women who want to improve the volume and firmness of their breasts are good candidates for a breast lift procedure, but a breast lift is not the answer for everyone. You probably qualify for this surgery if:
Each person’s situation is different, and there are several factors to consider before making the decision to get a breast lift.
You will see the results from your breast lift surgery immediately. However, as the post-surgical swelling resolves and incision scars fade, the overall look of your breasts will continue to improve.
It can take several months for the breasts’ shape and position to settle. Surgical results are long-lasting, but not permanent, as gravity and aging continue to affect all bodies.
Steps you can take to maintain your new look as long as possible include:
During your consultation, we will talk extensively about your desired results and expectations. It may be necessary to incorporate breast inserts along with the breast lift to achieve the fuller look you want.
