Breast Lift Rancho Mirage, CA | Suzanne Quardt MD - Palm Desert Plastic Surgery

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Dr. Suzanne Quardt specializes in restoring breast shape and symmetry for patients experiencing changes due to aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetic factors.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

A breast lift may be recommended for patients experiencing the following breast characteristics:

• Breasts that have sagged or lost their youthful shape
• Flat, elongated, or pendulous breast appearance
• Nipples pointing downward or falling below the breast crease
• Stretched skin and enlarged areolas
• Asymmetrical breast positioning

Breast Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Quardt employs advanced surgical techniques to perform breast lifts, utilizing various incision methods tailored to individual patient anatomy. The procedure typically involves removing excess skin, reshaping breast tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola for a more youthful and lifted appearance.

Surgical Approach in Rancho Mirage

During the breast lift procedure, Dr. Quardt carefully selects from three primary incision techniques:

• Periareolar incision (around the areola)
• Vertical incision (around areola and down to breast crease)
• Anchor-shaped incision (comprehensive reshaping technique)

Recovery and Results

Patients receive comprehensive post-surgical support, including specialized bandages and a supportive garment to minimize swelling and maintain the new breast contour. Initial results are immediately visible, with final aesthetic outcomes developing over several months.

Complementary Breast Procedures

While a breast lift focuses on reshaping and lifting, patients seeking changes in breast size may consider complementary procedures such as breast augmentation or reduction. Dr. Quardt can discuss these options during a personalized consultation.
