Breast Lift is a cosmetic surgical procedure used to raise, reshape, and add fullness to sagging breasts. This procedure can also be used in combination with breast implants to enhance firmness and size.

Reasons to consider a Breast Lift:

• Your breasts have lost their volume due to pregnancy or aging.
• You have large areolas with little fullness on the top of your breasts.

Your cosmetic consultation:

During your initial consultation, you will meet with the plastic surgeon and staff. Your physical and emotional health will be reviewed and photographs may be taken for your medical record. Your surgeon will examine your breasts, the quality of your skin, and the position of your nipples. At this time, your surgeon will go over the risks associated with surgery and your expectations. You will review details and surgical costs with an office staff member. This is a good opportunity for you to go over any questions you may have.

Preparing for your surgery:

• You must have preoperative testing.
• Your doctor may suggest a mammogram.
• You must avoid certain medications prior to surgery.
• You must stop smoking at least two weeks prior to surgery.
• You must arrange for help or care following your surgery.
