The Breast Lift Procedure

There are three very important points for doing a good breast lift:

1. Breast lift should be done with minimal scars. Either circular scars around the nipple or "lollipop" scars. You never need an "anchor" scar.
2. Many plastic surgeons lift the breasts by tightening the skin. Dr. Beraka believes that this is not a good approach because skin stretches and sagging will come back. So the breast has to be shaped and lifted from the inside with internal sutures. There is no pulling on the skin.
3. Just before the end of the operation, Dr. Beraka checks that you have the best possible shape, size, and symmetry.

Depending on your aesthetic goals, body type, and health, Dr. Beraka will create a treatment plan designed specifically for you. Many patients also undergo breast augmentation ("augmentation mammaplasty") along with a breast lift to achieve optimal results. A breast lift with implant surgery involves the lifting of the breast tissue and raising the nipples to a higher position on the chest wall, and then inserting breast implants to enhance the volume of the breasts. The results of breast lift surgery with augmentation can yield fuller, firmer, and more youthful-looking breasts for a woman.

The breast lift procedure is often performed to help a woman regain her shape post-pregnancy. Manhattan breast implants surgeon Dr. Beraka may utilize a combination of breast surgery, tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"), and/or liposuction ("lipoplasty") for a full body contouring makeover.
