What is Breast Lift Surgery?
Breast Lift Surgery is an operation that lifts the breasts and creates a firmer, more youthful appearance. The procedure is typically performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who tightens and removes excess outer tissue. The outcome of the treatment is a reposition of the areola and nipple to a higher position on the chest wall.
There is no augmenting of the breast tissue in a typical breast lift. Therefore the size remains the same. Breast Lift Surgery is usually an outpatient procedure that typically lasts three hours.
Breast Lift Techniques at Nazarian Plastic Surgery
When considering a Breast Lift Los Angeles patients can explore four technique options offered by Nazarian Plastic Surgery:
- Donut Lift: The Donut Lift, also known as the Benelli lift, creates a circular incision around the areola and positions the nipple and areola higher on the breast. This procedure is best suited for mild to moderate sagging.
- Lollipop Lift: Ideal for moderate breast sagging, the Lollipop Lift consists of a circular incision around the areola and a straight incision from the lower edge of the areola to the crease of the breast.
- Anchor Lift: For severe breast sagging, the Anchor Lift is the best option.Only slightly different from the Lollipop Lift, this technique includes a circular incision around the areola, a straight incision from the lower edge of the areola to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the inferior breast crease.
- BodyTite: BodyTite uses radiofrequency energy to tighten the breast skin. This technique results in a scarless minimal lift and decreases the cup size of breast tissue.
