Symptoms/Indications

• Sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics
• Loss of breast firmness and shape
• Downward-pointing nipples and stretched areolae
• Asymmetrical breasts where one breast is lower than the other
• Discomfort and self-consciousness about breast appearance

Treatments

Surgical Techniques:
• Crescent Lift : Involves a small incision around the top half of the areola. Suitable for minimal sagging.
• Peri-Areolar or Donut Lift : Involves a circular incision around the areola. Suitable for mild to moderate sagging and reduces areola size.
• Vertical or Lollipop Lift : Involves an incision around the areola and a vertical incision down to the breast crease. Suitable for moderate sagging.
• Anchor Lift : Involves three incisions—around the areola, vertically from the areola to the breast crease, and along the breast crease. Suitable for significant sagging and reshaping.

Procedure
• Consultation : Detailed discussion with a board-certified plastic surgeon to assess breast anatomy, determine the degree of sagging, and choose the appropriate lift technique.
• Surgery : Performed under general anesthesia, the surgeon makes the necessary incisions to remove excess skin, reposition the nipple and areola, and reshape the breast tissue. The remaining skin is tightened to create an uplifted contour.
• Recovery : Includes a few days of rest with limited physical activity. Pain, swelling, and bruising are common but diminish over time. Patients typically wear a special support bra to aid healing and maintain the new breast shape.

Results
• Elevated and firmer breasts with improved shape and contour
• Corrected nipple position and reduced areola size
• Enhanced breast symmetry
• Restoration of a youthful breast profile
• Increased self-confidence and satisfaction with appearance

A breast lift can significantly rejuvenate the breasts, providing a more youthful and attractive look. It's crucial to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon to discuss goals, expectations, and the best approach for a safe and successful outcome.
