Breast Lift
Approximate duration of surgery: 2 – 3 hours General Anesthesia
The Procedure
A decrease in our skin’s elasticity can result in sagging or looseness of the breast. A breast lift is meant to fix this issue by elevating the breast and giving it a more youthful, “perky” contour.
During the procedure, Dr.Nathan trims excess skin and rearranges tissue to provide a long lasting result. There is a combination of incisions used during a breast lift procedure which include an incision around the areola, an incision through the fold of the breast, and an incision from the areola to the breast fold. The use of implants is nto necessary. But if you would like to improve both the shape and placement of the breast, implants would accomplish this. It all depends on the look you want.
Dr. Nathan will discuss your breast lift procedure in more detail at your first consultation.
