Breast Lift-Scarless

The Scarless Breast Lift is a term my patients taught me and I have started to use. Like breast lifting and mastopexy in general, patients seeking this surgery are really disturbed about the drooping appearance of their breasts. Even though the degree of deformity is usually less, the degree of discontent and concern is as much or even more. In this group of patients, however, only breast implants are needed to give the lift, thus requiring only a minimal incision. Whether you are born with this or it develops later in life, especially after breast feeding, it is a perfectly normal and very common request for women to want their breasts to look perkier and youthful, and I will help you achieve this.

 

The scarless breast lift is not just a breast augmentation, and not just a breast lift, but a combination of both. It works only in patients that have some mild to moderate sagging and where the nipple is at the level of your breast fold, or only slightly below. The implant rounds out the lower loose breast tissue, perks up the breast, and fills in the upper pole. In this situation the breasts are mostly deflated, but not all that drooping. Adding an implant in this condition allows for perking up the breast, filling in the deflated upper pole, rounding and perking up the bottom, and showing more skin between the nipple and the fold. It gives you a lifted, natural, and beautiful appearance. Your anatomy, combined with your expectations, are used to put a plan together. Although the incision is basically the same as for a breast enlargement, there is a great deal of technical difference, more internal surgery and more planning is necessary so that  your result is more artistic, more natural, and safer than ever before. The implant is inserted and placed so it fills in and perks up the lower portion of the breast, and fills the upper portion as well. Much can be done with this surgery to not only increase the size of your breasts, but to provide a very beautiful and natural shape. A wide array of implants are available from saline to silicone, from fuzzy to smooth, from round to anatomic. Women can choose from different incisions, different types of implants, and different locations for placement of the implant. Gel fill materials have evolved to be very safe, natural feeling, and causing less contracture. Surgery involves a relatively short procedure under a light general anesthetic, performed where I do surgery, which is in a hospital setting. The surgery is safe and predictable. Virtually immediately after surgery you see your result and it just gets better in time. All the stitches are dissolvable; the recovery is rapid, with return to work in several days, and to some physical exercise within the first week.

 

Surgery to enlarge and at the same time lift the breast is very common in my practice. I have performed hundreds of these procedures with consistently beautiful and natural results. I have special expertise in this procedure and spend a great deal of time discussing your anatomy, listening to your expectations, and interpreting for you what your anatomy and body will allow me to do in a safe and predictable way. In addition, I build a system into every surgery that, initially, allows you to recover much quicker and, secondly, serves to preserve your surgical results. This system includes a special diet, vitamins, supplements, special garments, breast exercises, skin products, physical training and knowing what to avoid. Together, all of this allows me to create results that are consistently very beautiful, quick to heal, exceptionally natural, and with minimal incisions, especially in an area of such great importance to women. I am delighted to surgically provide you with such a profound body image change, and one that has consistently so pleased my patients and changed their lives.
