Breast Lift Huntersville, NY | Erik J. Miles, MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breasts naturally change shape over time due to factors like weight fluctuation, breastfeeding, aging, and gravitational effects. A breast lift procedure, medically known as mastopexy, surgically elevates and firms sagging breasts to restore a more youthful breast contour and projection.

Breast Lift Techniques and Approaches

Multiple surgical techniques are available to lift breasts, with the specific method depending on several key factors:

• Nipple position
• Existing breast volume
• Skin laxity and quality
• Individual patient goals

Surgical Incision Options

Surgeons utilize different incision techniques based on the degree of breast sagging and desired outcome:

• Traditional Mastopexy: Incisions around areola, underneath breast crease, and vertically
• Vertical Breast Lift: Fewer incisions, "lollipop" shaped for moderate lifting
• Circumareolar Lift: Circular incision around areola for mild sagging
• Periareolar Lift: Crescent-shaped incision for minor nipple repositioning

Complementary Breast Procedures

Many patients choose to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation to enhance volume and firmness. This combination can provide more comprehensive aesthetic results while maintaining natural-looking breast contours.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal breast lift candidates typically include individuals experiencing:

• Significant breast sagging
• Nipples pointing downward
• Asymmetrical breast or nipple position
• Loss of breast volume and shape
