This type of surgery is made in order to raise the breast to its proper position. This is done by removing the excess skin and firm the tissues surrounding the breast so that it can hold the breast and have a suitable contour with the body.

Such a surgery is done due to:

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Age
• Heredity
• Weight issues
• Gravity pull

Other than being done to raise and reposition breasts, breast lift effectively manages to reduce areolas in case of stretches.

• Doesn’t change breast size
• Can provide more satisfactory results when combined with other types of treatments or surgeries (Breast Augmentation, Breast Reduction)

• Healthy people
• People with stable weight diagrams
• Realistic people who understand outcomes of the surgery
• Unsatisfied people
• People with flat breasts
• People with unsupported breasts or that point down due to tissues weakness
• People with enlarged areolas
• Breast dissymmetry

Before proceeding to assigning a surgery, the surgeon shall determine with the patient what type of surgery shall be done, by that the type and the way incisions will be made. This is determined by:

• Breast size and shape
• Size and position of the areolas
• Breast sagging level
• Skin quality
• Skin proportion
• Skin elasticity

Step1: Anesthesia

Either intravenous sedation or general anesthesia can be administered; this depends on the surgeons best choice for a patient based on the medical record.
 
Step2: Incisions

• Circumferential (surrounding the areolas)
• Circumferential and downwards towards the breast crease
• Circumferential and downwards towards the breast crease and then horizontally along the breast crease

Step3: Breast reshape

• Tissues are lifted and reshaped to enhance firmness and contour
• Areolas and nipples are readjusted to normal position
• Excess skin is removed to improve skin elasticity

Step4: Incisions closure

While closing the incisions, the skin is tightened, some of the incisions are naturally hidden while others will improve over time and fade but are permanent. Sutures are implemented deep to support the breast and others to close the skin with the use of adhesives.

Step5: Results obtained

Results are immediately noticed, tighter, firmer and more youthful looking breasts. Swelling and incisions lines will fade.
