What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts for a more youthful contour. While it does not change breast size significantly, it can be combined with breast implants for added volume or a breast reduction for those seeking a smaller size.
During the procedure, extra skin is removed, and breast tissue is tightened. Several techniques are available, and Dr. Sadeghi will recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and goals.
How Can a Breast Lift Help?
Breast sagging can affect body confidence, especially after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
A breast lift can provide:
A Firmer, Fuller Look
Breasts that appear elongated or deflated can be reshaped for a rounder, lifted appearance. The procedure raises breast tissue and removes extra skin, creating a firmer and more youthful shape without implants.
Better Nipple Position
Sagging breasts often cause downward-facing nipples. A breast lift repositions the nipples for a more natural, forward-facing look. If needed, stretched or oversized areolas can also be reshaped and resized.
A More Youthful Breast Shape
Breast sagging is common, but a breast lift can restore the natural breast position for a perkier, firmer shape.
Less Skin Discomfort
Excess skin beneath the breasts can cause chafing, rashes, and irritation. Lifting the breasts reduces skin-on-skin contact, which helps prevent discomfort.
How Is a Breast Lift Performed?
Breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about three hours. The technique used depends on breast size, the amount of sagging, and your desired results.
Breast Lift Techniques
- Donut Incision: A circular incision around the areola, suitable for mild sagging.
- Lollipop Incision: An incision around the areola that extends down the lower breast, allowing for moderate lifting.
- Anchor Incision: An additional incision along the breast crease, ideal for those needing more reshaping.
Dr. Sadeghi will explain each option and recommend the best approach for you.
Can a Breast Lift Be Combined With Other Procedures?
A breast lift improves shape and position, but many women choose to combine it with:
- Breast Augmentation: To increase volume and enhance fullness.
- Breast Reduction: To reduce size and improve comfort.
- Mommy Makeover: A customized procedure that restores breast and body shape after pregnancy.
- Breast Revision Surgery: To update or correct results from previous breast surgeries.
Combining procedures can enhance results while reducing overall recovery time.
How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost at Sadeghi Center for Plastic Surgery?
The cost of a breast lift varies based on:
- Surgical technique
- Doctor’s expertise
- Surgical facility fees
- Anesthesia costs
- Additional procedures (if combined)
You will be given an accurate price estimate during your consultation with Dr. Sadeghi.
What to Expect After a Breast Lift
Healing after a breast lift is a smooth process when you know what to expect. Understanding the recovery timeline and post-surgery care can help you feel prepared and confident as you heal.
Recovery Timeline
- First Week: Swelling and mild discomfort are expected. A supportive bra will help reduce swelling and promote healing.
- Two Weeks: Most patients return to work within 10 to 14 days.
- Six Weeks: Full recovery, with final results becoming more visible as swelling fades.
Post-Surgery Care
- Wear a compression bra for support.
- Follow medication instructions to aid healing.
- Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for a few weeks.
- Attend follow-up visits at Sadeghi Center for Plastic Surgery to monitor healing.
Will There Be Scarring?
Scarring is a natural part of healing, but Dr. Sadeghi’s surgical expertise helps minimize it. Incisions are placed where they are less noticeable, and post-surgical care instructions will help scars fade over time.
