Breast Lift Toledo, OH | Craig W. Colville, MD, FACS

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Women seeking to restore breast shape and position can benefit from breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, performed by Dr. Craig Colville in Toledo, Ohio. This procedure addresses sagging breasts caused by pregnancy, weight loss, aging, and genetic factors.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Patients considering a breast lift typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Pendulous breasts with satisfactory size
• Breasts lacking firmness or substance
• Nipples and areolas pointing downward
• Breasts positioned below the natural breast crease

Surgical Technique

Dr. Colville performs breast lift surgery as an outpatient procedure lasting approximately 1-3 hours under general anesthesia. The technique involves removing excess skin and repositioning breast tissue and nipples to achieve a more youthful contour.

Breast Lift with Implants

For patients desiring both lifted and enhanced breasts, Dr. Colville offers a combined breast lift and augmentation procedure. This approach can simultaneously raise, reshape, and increase breast volume using carefully selected implants from Allergan, MENTOR®, and Sientra® brands.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect temporary side effects such as bruising, swelling, and mild discomfort. Most individuals return to normal activities within 3-7 days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 3-6 weeks.

Breast Lift Considerations

• Procedure typically reduces breast volume by approximately one cup size
• Scarring is expected but tends to fade over several months
• Results can last many years with proper care
