Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Modern plastic surgery techniques restore lift and perkiness in the breasts, addressing changes caused by gravity, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations. Breast lift surgery can rejuvenate breast shape and appearance, providing patients with renewed confidence.

Key Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

• Elevate sagging breasts
• Rejuvenate nipples and areolas
• Tighten breasts after pregnancy or weight loss
• Restore youthful breast shape
• Improve breast symmetry

Causes of Breast Sagging

Multiple factors contribute to breast ptosis, including:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Significant weight fluctuations
• Natural aging process
• Genetic predisposition

Procedure Overview

Ann Arbor Plastic Surgery customizes breast lift procedures to individual patient needs. The surgical approach typically involves removing excess skin, reshaping breast tissue, and elevating the breasts to a more youthful position.

Surgical Techniques

Common incision methods include:

• Lollipop incision (circular around areola with vertical line)
• Minimal scarring techniques
• Potential auto-augmentation options

Recovery Expectations

Most patients can return to normal activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery in four to six weeks. Detailed post-operative instructions will be provided to ensure optimal healing.

Combining Procedures

Breast lift can be combined with augmentation for enhanced results. Options include:

• Implants for increased volume
• Lift-only procedures for patients satisfied with current breast size
• Personalized approach based on individual goals

Candidacy Considerations

Ideal candidates have good skin elasticity and realistic expectations. Patients planning significant weight changes or pregnancy may be advised to delay the procedure.
