What Breast Lift Surgery Can Improve

Pendulous Breasts

Pendulous Breasts

Aging, pregnancy, and weight loss can alter the position of the breasts, causing them to droop far below the inframammary crease. Breast lift surgery can lift and reposition pendulous breasts to produce to a more youthful aesthetic.

Poorly Positioned Areolas

Poorly Positioned Areolas

Enlarged or downward-pointing nipples can create an asymmetrical breast appearance. Fortunately, women can correct poorly positioned or disproportionate areolas with a breast lift procedure that is tailored to their unique needs.

Misshapen Breasts

Misshapen Breasts

Over time, many women experience breast volume fluctuations, which contribute to breasts that are misshapen and lack firmness. Breast lift surgery improves the projection and shape of the breasts by tightening and repositioning the tissues and eliminating stretched skin.

Breast Lift Technique Options

Every breast lift patient has distinct aesthetic desires and expectations that must be addressed with exceptional care. During your private consultation, Dr. Green will perform a comprehensive analysis of your breasts to determine the ideal surgical approach to achieve your cosmetic objectives.

Anchor Incision

  • An incision is created around the areolas that continues down the lower pole of the breasts and follows along the inframammary fold
  • Ideal for correcting severe breast sagging (ptosis)
  • The nipple-areolar complex can be adjusted and reduced using this technique

Lollipop Incision

  • An incision is created around the areolas and down the lower pole of the breasts
  • Ideal for correcting moderate breast ptosis
  • Can be used to alter the size and position of the nipple-areolar complex

Donut Incision

  • An incision is placed around the perimeter of the areolas
  • Ideal for correcting mild breast ptosis
  • The areolas can be reduced, but not repositioned
Women with compound cosmetic concerns can benefit from pairing their breast lift with other enhancement techniques. Breast lift surgery can be combined with the following procedures to achieve optimal results:

Breast Lift Recovery

Some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are expected following breast lift surgery. Wearing the recommended support bra during recovery can help minimize these side effects. Depending on the physical requirements of the job, most patients can return to work after about one week of recovery. Patients must refrain from engaging in strenuous activities for several weeks, or until Dr. Green gives them clearance. Any changes in sensation near the incision sites are usually temporary.

Mastopexy Scarring

While it is possible to develop visible scarring after a breast lift procedure, scars are likely to fade over time with proper care.

Pain

Patients may take oral pain medication, as recommended by Dr. Green, to alleviate any postoperative discomfort.

Breast lift Cost

The cost of a breast lift procedure depends on many factors including (but not limited to) technique, geographical location, and anesthesia fees. Dr. Green’s financial coordinator will calculate the costs for your personalized procedure during your initial consultation.

Patient Review/Testimonial

“Despite my own research and various consultations, it wasn’t until I met with Dr. Scott Green, that I felt hopeful and secure about the idea of cosmetic plastic surgery in Sacramento. He was very clear and informative without being overwhelming. Additionally, Dr. Green was very sensitive, as was I, when discussing the option of a breast lift and/or breast augmentation. At his Sacramento practice, we decided together that the most effective plan was to lift the breasts while maintaining a natural look and feel with minimal scarring. For me this meant a crescent incision through the nipple with a silicone breast implant placed under the muscle.”

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How long does breast lift surgery take?

    Breast lift surgery typically takes between two and three hours, depending on the desired extent of correction.

  • How long will my breast lift results last?

    Breast lift surgery is designed to deliver long-lasting enhancement. Avoiding significant weight fluctuations and pregnancy can help preserve results for many years.

  • Should I quit smoking before undergoing my breast lift procedure?

    Yes. Smoking impedes healing and can affect the final result of your procedure. Patients are advised to avoid smoking for at least three weeks before and after their scheduled breast lift surgery.

  • What complications can occur after breast lift surgery?

    It is rare for patients to experience significant complications following a breast lift procedure. Some of the potential risks, however, include:

    • Bleeding
    • Infection
    • Hematoma or seroma
    • Visible scarring
    • Permanent changes in sensation
    • Asymmetry

  • Will I lose sensation in my breasts or nipples following breast lift surgery?

    Changes in sensation are a common concern among breast lift patients. After surgery, you may notice temporary changes in the sensitivity of your breasts or nipples. This occurs because the nerves in the breast area are affected during the procedure and need time to heal. In most cases, sensation returns within a few months as the nerves regenerate. Permanent loss of sensation is rare but may occur depending on factors such as the extent of the procedure or the placement of incisions. Dr. Scott Green uses advanced surgical techniques to minimize the risk of nerve damage, ensuring the best possible outcome while maintaining sensation. 

  • What is the right age to have breast lift surgery?

    There is no universal “right” age for breast lift, as the procedure is highly individualized. Most women consider a breast lift after significant changes to their breasts, such as aging, which causes the skin to lose elasticity and leads to sagging, pregnancy and breastfeeding, which can stretch the skin and alter the breast shape, and weight fluctuations, which can result in volume loss and uneven contours. If you are planning to have children in the future, it’s worth discussing timing with Dr. Green, as pregnancy can affect the results of a breast lift.

  • Why do my breasts look saggy after weight loss?

    Significant weight loss often leads to a reduction in breast volume and skin elasticity. Without the underlying fat to support the breast tissue, the skin can appear stretched or deflated. This sagging occurs because the skin has been stretched over time to accommodate a larger breast size and may not fully retract after weight loss. Breast lift addresses these concerns by removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple to a more youthful location. The result is a firmer, more lifted appearance that complements your weight loss journey.

  • Does the size of my breasts affect breast lift techniques?

    Yes, breast size plays a significant role in determining the specific techniques used during breast lift. Larger breasts often require more extensive reshaping and lifting, which may include additional support to prevent sagging in the future. Smaller breasts may need less tissue removal and can sometimes achieve excellent results with less invasive methods. Dr. Green tailors every procedure to your unique anatomy, breast size, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, he will explain which technique is best suited for you and why.

  • Can I combine breast lift with other cosmetic procedures?

    Combining breast lift with other procedures is a popular choice among patients seeking comprehensive results. Many women pair a breast lift with breast augmentation to enhance volume or with tummy tuck and liposuction as part of a mommy makeover. Combining procedures offers several advantages, including a single recovery period and a more harmonious transformation of your overall appearance. Dr. Green will work closely with you to develop a customized treatment plan that aligns with your goals and ensures optimal outcomes.

  • Is breast lift covered by insurance?
