Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Dr. Michele Koo, a board-certified plastic surgeon in St. Louis, Missouri, specializes in creating beautifully contoured breasts tailored to individual body proportions. As women age, experience childbirth, or undergo weight fluctuations, breast shape and position can change. Dr. Koo's breast lift procedure restores youthful firmness by repositioning the nipple and reshaping breast tissue.

Customized Breast Enhancement Approach

Each breast lift procedure is uniquely designed to meet patient-specific aesthetic goals. Dr. Koo evaluates multiple factors including breast volume, skin elasticity, and nipple position to determine the optimal surgical strategy.

Breast Lift Incision Techniques

Dr. Koo employs three primary incision locations to achieve optimal breast lifting results:

  • Periareolar Incision (Donut): Incision around the areola
  • Vertical Incision (Lollipop): Incision around areola and vertically to breast crease
  • Inverted T Incision (Anchor): Incision around areola, vertically to breast crease, and horizontally along breast crease

Surgical Procedure Details

During the breast lift, Dr. Koo carefully lifts and reshapes underlying breast tissue, removing excess skin to restore a youthful, symmetrical contour. The precise technique ensures natural-looking results that complement the patient's overall physique.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect immediate improvements in breast shape and position. Post-operative care includes comprehensive guidance on healing, with supportive garments and detailed instructions to optimize recovery and minimize downtime.

Comprehensive Breast Enhancement Options

Dr. Koo offers versatile breast enhancement solutions, including breast lift procedures that can be combined with augmentation or reduction to achieve desired aesthetic outcomes.

Love, love, love Dr. Koo’s skin care products! She’s done the research and created products that actually work. I’ve used them for years and have seen demonstrably better skin! Dr. Koo has adjusted my regimen over time according to my changing (aging) skin. She takes the time to listen to my concerns. The personal care she gives her clients is unmatched. I highly recommend her products and services!

Doctor Koo several times, had an emergency patient that came in the office. Leaving to care for the situation. She gave me less services, feeling abandoned, before the surgery. During the surgery she turned off my anesthesia early before she was done with the surgery. I was told I wasn't responding well to the anesthesia. She didn't prescribe me any painkiller for when I woke up in recovery. She was gone and left me in a surgery recovery center overnight with no painkiller prescription for the night. I had a tummy tuck and a breast reduction. And woke up coughing and in such intense pain it was horrible and nobody could help me. I was told that with the drains in the abdomen, I had to check them every 20 minutes, drain them, and write down the amount drained. When I came in for my first check up they were shocked I kept at it and said most patients stopped after the first day or two. During this time she never gave me a prescription for pain. During that check up where I had many concerns, because I was still wrapped up with drains in me, she had the another emergency patient all of a sudden and left me to go take care of that and my appointment was shortened. I did everything i was told to do. After 28 years i still have numbing still across my abdomen. The scar that that was from one hip to the other for the tummy tuck is still prominent causing a visual ledge from hip to hip. I can't get it down. It shows in my clothing and swimsuits it's very embarrassing. My breasts have gaps on the underside of them. The breast seems to have a tunnel starting under each arm pit going into each breast. They are not rounded like they are supposed to be. When i was a DDD i did not have that. I was only 30 without strange shapes like she left me. I was told that if I ever had another baby after this, I would still be able to breastfeed. I had no capability of breastfeeding in either breast. I can only assume that she ended up taking milk ducts out that she said she would not be going near. I now have many breast problems and bleeding coming through my nipple on one side. This has been a nightmare for the last 28 years. I am now set for another mammogram and another ultrasound at a surgeon to look at the damage. I wish I had gone somewhere else. The reduction and tummy tuck still give me issues 28 years later.

I wish I had gotten my breast reduction elsewhere.
