It can also help improve symmetry in breast shape and size and the position of the nipple and areola can also be changed to improve appearance.

Whether you have always felt that your breasts are uneven, they’ve started to sag with age or have begun to droop after pregnancy or weight loss, a breast lift can help achieve the youthful look you desire and rebuild your self-esteem.

Your Breast Lift Consultation

Dr. Julie Sofer has extensive expertise in breast lift surgery and uses her skill and female touch to help you achieve your aesthetic goals with the most natural-looking contours. Dr. Sofer will discuss your surgical options so that together you can choose the best procedure to create the beautiful, youthful breast contours you desire.

Breast lifts do not increase breast size. If you desire larger, fuller breasts, a breast augmentation (with breast implants) can be performed at the same time as a breast lift. Many women like to combine a breast lift with a breast reduction to reduce volume in one or both breasts to decrease overall size or make the breasts the symmetrical if they are unevenly sized.

What is a Breast Lift Procedure?

A breast lift is a safe, out-patient procedure. The length of surgery time depends upon the type of surgery or if multiple procedures are performed.

A breast lift, which focuses on breast position, is often combined with breast reduction or breast augmentation (breast implants) to address size and projection. Dr. Sofer desires to customize a solution for you to create the most natural looking results that achieve your aesthetic goals.

There are multiple surgical techniques available for breast lifts. Dr. Sofer will help determine the best option to meet your unique needs.

• Periareolar Incision – A minimally-visible, circular incision is made around the areola to remove and tighten skin.
• Vertical Incision – An incision in the center of the breast allows for more reshaping by removing more skin from around the areola and lower breast.
• Inverted T Incision/Anchor – This incision is recommended for women who have severe sagging, often due to childbirth and breastfeeding or for women who have had major weight loss or weight loss surgery. The incision follows the natural contours of the breast and can remove most of the skin for the most dramatic results.

Recovery After a Breast Lift

After you have a breast lift in Flint, you will return home the same day. Expect to have some bruising and swelling during this time. Recovery time varies. If other procedures are combined with a breast lif thealing time might be longer., However many women find that their results are improved by adding a breast augmentation to their breast lift procedure. As you heal, your beautiful breasts will be revealed. Patients must wear post-operative bra (similar to a sports bra) for several weeks. You may return to work and light activity around five to seven days after surgery. To allow your breasts to heal properly, avoid vigorous exercise and heavy lifting for 4 to 6 weeks.
