ADVANCED BREAST LIFT SANTA BARBARA, CA | PLASTIC SURGEON SANTA
BARBARA: DR. TIM NEAVIN

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY IN SANTA BARBARA

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a sophisticated
surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. As
breast tissue loses elasticity with age, women experience natural
ptosis (breast drooping) that cannot be reversed through diet or
exercise.

GOALS OF BREAST LIFT PROCEDURES

The primary objectives of a breast lift include:

 	* Elevating nipple and breast position on the chest wall
	* Restoring breast perkiness and youthful contour
	* Addressing breast asymmetry
	* Improving overall breast shape and proportion

TYPES OF BREAST LIFT TECHNIQUES

Dr. Neavin offers multiple breast lift techniques tailored to
individual patient needs:

 	* Traditional Breast Lift (Anchor-shaped incision)
	* Crescent Lift (Minor lift with minimal scarring)

	* Reverse T Lift (Extensive reshaping approach)

CUSTOMIZED SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Neavin specializes in creating personalized breast lift strategies
that harmonize with each patient's unique anatomy. His commitment to
"surgery with symmetry" ensures natural-looking, proportionate results
that enhance both physical appearance and self-confidence.

CONSULTATION AND ASSESSMENT

During your consultation, Dr. Neavin will comprehensively evaluate
your breast anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and recommend the
most suitable breast lift technique. Factors considered include skin
quality, breast volume, and tissue elasticity.

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Breast lift recovery varies depending on individual surgical
complexity. Patients can typically expect:

 	* One week of initial rest and limited activity
	* Gradual return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks
	* Comprehensive post-operative support from Dr. Neavin's team

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

Like all surgical procedures, breast lifts involve potential risks
such as:

 	* Temporary changes in nipple sensation
	* Minimal scarring
	* Potential infection (rare)

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Dr. Neavin often recommends combining breast lift with augmentation
for patients seeking both lift and increased volume, providing

MASTOPEXY (BREAST LIFT) SANTA BARBARA, CA | HOWARD GROSS, MD

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Women may experience breast sagging or 'ptosis' due to various factors
including aging, pregnancy, nursing, or significant weight loss. A
breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a specialized surgical
procedure designed to raise the nipple, reduce sagging, and reshape
breast contours.

SURGICAL PREPARATION AND TECHNIQUE

The breast lift procedure begins with precise surgical marking while
the patient is standing. This critical step ensures accurate nipple
positioning, accounting for natural breast movement and positioning
changes between standing and lying down positions.

SURGICAL APPROACH

 	* Excess skin is carefully removed to reshape the breast
	* Nipple position is adjusted without detaching the nipple
	* Incision patterns vary based on lifting requirements

INCISION TYPES

Surgical incisions depend on the degree of breast lifting needed:

 	* Periareolar (around nipple)
	* "Lollipop" incision (around nipple and vertically down)
	* "Anchor" incision (around nipple, vertically down, and under the
breast)

ADDITIONAL BREAST ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS

For patients desiring increased volume, breast implants can be
simultaneously placed, typically positioned under the chest muscle for
optimal results.

POST-SURGICAL RECOVERY

Patients can typically expect a smooth recovery process. Surgical tape
is applied immediately after the procedure to minimize breast
movement. A surgical bra provides additional support during initial
healing.

RECOVERY MILESTONES

 	* Shower permitted after 2 days
	* Normal activities resume within a few days
	* Continuous bra wear recommended for several weeks

POTENTIAL RISKS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While complications are rare, potential risks include minor wound
healing issues, scar thickening, and nipple sensitivity changes. A
comprehensive consultation with Howard Gross, MD will thoroughly
review all potential risks and benefits.

BREAST AUGMENTATION SANTA BARBARA, CA | HOWARD GROSS, MD

UNDERSTANDING BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical
enhancement procedure designed to increase breast volume using
carefully selected implants. Patients can choose between silicone gel
and saline implants, both offering beautiful, soft, and
natural-looking results.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BREAST ENHANCEMENT

Candidates for breast augmentation typically include women who:

 	* Have naturally small breasts
	* Experienced volume loss after pregnancy and nursing
	* Want to address breast asymmetries
	* Desire to improve overall breast shape and proportion

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The breast augmentation procedure is performed as an outpatient
surgery under light general anesthesia. Surgeons create small,
inconspicuous incisions in strategic locations such as the lower
breast, around the nipple, or in the armpit. An implant is then
carefully placed either under the breast tissue or beneath the
pectoralis muscle.

IMPLANT SELECTION AND CUSTOMIZATION

Howard Gross, MD offers personalized implant selection to help
patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals. The specific surgical
approach is determined during a comprehensive consultation, taking
into account individual anatomy, preferences, and desired outcomes.

RECOVERY AND POST-OPERATIVE CARE

Patients can typically return to normal activities within two weeks
following the procedure. A light bra dressing is applied immediately
after surgery to support healing and minimize breast movement. Minor
discomfort can be effectively managed with oral medication.

POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS

While significant complications are uncommon, patients should be aware
of potential temporary changes such as nipple sensitivity variations
and initial swelling. Scar tissue formation may occur but can be
effectively managed. Implants may require future replacement, though
no routine exchange is mandatory.
