UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to address breast shape
changes caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, and significant weight
fluctuations. The primary goal is to elevate the nipple to a more
youthful position and restore breast firmness without altering overall
breast volume.

BREAST LIFT CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates for a breast lift include healthy women experiencing
breast sagging due to aging, weight loss, or post-pregnancy changes.
Patients should be non-smokers in good overall health.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Summit Plastic Surgery offers three breast lift techniques based on
individual patient needs:

 	* Periareolar Lift: Smallest incision around the areola
	* Modified Lift: Areola incision plus vertical incision
	* Full Lift: Anchor-shaped incision under the breast crease

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The breast lift surgery typically takes three to four hours and is
performed as an outpatient procedure. Patients will require an adult
companion to drive them home and stay with them for the first 24 hours
post-surgery.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Recovery involves wearing a surgical bra and limiting physical
activities. Patients can expect:

 	* 1-2 weeks off work
	* Restrictions on lifting over 10 pounds
	* Sleeping on the back for initial weeks
	* Gradual return to normal activities

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Some patients opt to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation to
enhance both shape and volume. During the initial consultation, Summit
Plastic Surgery surgeons will discuss personalized options and
realistic expectations.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Most patients retain nipple sensation, with any potential numbness
typically resolving within a year. Breast-feeding capabilities are
generally preserved after the procedure.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES AND APPROACH

tailored to individual patient needs:

 	* Periareolar lift: Minimal incision around the areola
	* Modified lift: Areola and vertical breast incision
	* Full lift: Anchor-shaped incision providing maximum reshaping

PROCEDURE DETAILS

comprehensive guidance throughout the surgical journey, from initial

healing. Patients are typically advised to:

	* Avoid heavy lifting for 2-3 weeks
	* Wear a surgical support bra

changes in breast size and possible temporary nipple sensation
alterations.
