Breast Lift Annandale, VA | James H. French Jr., MD, FACS

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Weight loss, pregnancy, and aging can cause breasts to droop and lose their shape. Breast lift surgery helps women restore and reshape their breast contours, addressing volume loss and skin laxity in the breast tissue.

Breast Lift Techniques

Several surgical techniques are available depending on the degree of breast sagging (ptosis):

• Donut Lift: Ideal for mild to moderate sagging, with an incision around the areola
• Lollipop Lift: Suitable for moderate sagging, with incisions around and vertically down the areola
• Anchor Lift: Recommended for significant sagging, involving incisions around the areola, vertically, and along the breast crease

Procedure Overview

Breast lift surgery typically involves repositioning nipples, removing excess skin, and reshaping breast tissue to create a more youthful and lifted appearance. The procedure is customized based on individual patient goals and anatomical considerations.
