Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery addresses sagging breasts caused by age, genetics, childbearing, or significant weight loss. The procedure helps restore breast shape and position, providing patients with improved breast contour and enhanced self-confidence.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Healthy adult women of any age with realistic aesthetic goals
• Patients experiencing breast ptosis (sagging)
• Women seeking to improve breast shape and position

When to Consider a Breast Lift

Patients may benefit from a breast lift if experiencing:

• Downward-pointing nipples
• Loss of breast volume and firmness
• Asymmetrical breast positioning

Breast Lift Procedure Details

The breast lift procedure typically takes approximately 2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical suite. The surgical approach involves strategic incisions designed to minimize visible scarring while reshaping breast tissue.

Surgical Technique

• Circular incision around the areola
• Potential vertical incision between areola and breast fold
• Repositioning of areola to a more aesthetic location
• Removal of excess skin
• Careful closure to minimize scarring

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can anticipate a structured recovery process following breast lift surgery. A supportive surgical bra will be worn continuously for approximately six weeks to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Typical Recovery Timeline

• First 3 days: Most noticeable discomfort
• 2 weeks: Significant improvement in comfort
• 6 weeks: Majority of swelling subsides
• 6 months: Complete healing and final breast settlement

Additional Considerations

Breast lift surgery can be combined with breast augmentation for patients desiring both reshaping and increased volume. Dr. Eich will provide personalized recommendations during your consultation to achieve your aesthetic goals.
