Breast Lift in Bingham Farms, Michigan

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift is a specialized surgical procedure designed to correct sagging breasts and restore a more youthful breast contour. The primary goal is to elevate breast tissue, reposition nipples, and remove excess skin that has become stretched or drooping.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Suitable candidates for breast lift surgery typically have:

• Significant breast sagging or deflation
• Nipples that sit below the breast crease
• Desire to improve breast shape without changing volume
• Overall good health and realistic expectations

Types of Breast Sagging

Breast ptosis can manifest in different ways:

• Empty Sac Syndrome: Breasts have lost volume with flat appearance
• Pseudoptosis: Inconsistent breast volume with partial sagging
• Ptosis: Varying degrees of tissue drooping below the breast crease

Breast Lift Incision Techniques

Marissa Baca MD offers multiple incision approaches tailored to individual needs:

• Anchor Lift: Most extensive incision for significant sagging
• Donut Lift: Smaller incision around the areola for mild cases
• Crescent Lift: Minimal incision for very mild sagging
• Lollipop Lift: Ideal for moderate breast drooping

Procedure Details

The breast lift procedure involves rearranging breast tissue, repositioning the nipple, and tightening surrounding skin. The surgery typically takes approximately 2-3 hours under general anesthesia and is performed as an outpatient procedure.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect:

• 1-2 weeks away from work and regular activities
• Wearing a specialized surgical bra during initial healing
• Gradual return to strenuous activities after 3-6 weeks
• Scars that mature and fade over approximately one year

Potential Risks

As with any surgical procedure, breast lift surgery carries potential risks. During consultation, Marissa Baca MD will comprehensively discuss these considerations to ensure patient understanding and comfort.
