Is Anything Added to Your Breast in a Breast Lift?
I was wondering because I don't want more added at this moment. Will the Breast lift also tighten your stomach? Does it leave scars? Say I'm 130 lbs, have had a baby and only have a handful of fat.

Anything added in a breast Lift?
A breast lift does not add anything to your breast. In general, varying amounts of skin are removed, depending on how much lift you need, and possibly some breast tissue to "shape" your breast. If you dont' want anything added and are comfortable with being a bit smaller, then a lift could be a good option for you. There is a trade-off of scars, which can be very acceptable if done well, but you must decide if the trade-off is worth it for you.

Breast lift results?
Thank you for the question.
During a breast lift operation nothing is “added”. Generally, this operation serves to tighten up the breast skin envelope and move the nipple/areola complex superiorly. Therefore there are limitations of what can be accomplished with size and fullness with the mastopexy surgery performed (without implants). This procedure will not tighten up your abdomen.
Before you undergo the breast procedure I would suggest that you understand...

Size remains the same after breast lift.
Hi.
Nothing is added in a breast lift, and nothing is taken away except a little skin. Best results with a vertical breast lift that leaves a lollipop scar.

Breast Lift
Hi,
Thank you for your question.
Nothing is added to your breast with a breast lift. Actually, a minimal amount of breast tissue is removed. A breast augmentation adds volume, not a lift. A breast lift will have no effect on your abdomen. It will definitely leave scars. The scars depend on the type of lift that you have, but they will heal and fade in time. Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Lifting the breast
Properly done, the breast lift procedure (mastopexy) moves the breast up without disconnecting it and rearranges the skin envelope to accommodate this. It does not add or subtract any significant volume of the breast. It does not give it forward projection or specifically fill in the upper breast scallop. It cannot be done without scars. It does nothing for the abdomen. The breasts may look bigger or fuller because they're up higher but they aren't actually bigger.
Another myth is that...

Volume added with a breast lift
To add volume with a breast lift you need an implant. You can also tuck some of the extra skin back in with the outer layers removed for a little augmentation (autoaugmentation). Yes, there are scars that are permanent but improve with time and the breast lift has no affect on the abdomen.

Do more homework!
A breast lift will not affect the abdomen. YES, scars will occur, but will fade. The scar configuration will depend on the type procedure. Skin and perhaps some breast tissue is removed, nothing (but surtures) are added.

Breast lift (mastopexy)
A breast lift can be performed without an implant. There are many different techniques used to achieve a breast lift and the scars will differ. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon. The lift will not tighten your stomach.

Breast lift
A 'straight" breast lift does not add any more tissue to the breast, but does tighten the breast and lift it. If you want more tissue, then you should combine this with a breast augmentation with implants. It does nothing for the abdomen.

Breast lift
There is nothing added to your breast during a breast lift surgery unless you would benefit from an implant for fullness and volume. There are many different types of breast lift technique and the ideal one for you depends on your breast shape/size and your desired appearance. Typically skin and some breast tissue is removed to reshape your breasts and improve their appearance as well as reposition the nipple/areola complex. The trade-off is definitely scarring and this an important point...

Breast Lift and Volume
Nothing is added to your breast during a mastopexy or breast lift. The skin is tightened and the breasts are lifted higher up on your chest. An implant can also be added if the patient desires to has larger and fuller breasts.
A breast lift does not do anything to your stomach area. That would be an abdominoplasty.
Hope that helps.

Effects of breast lift on abdomen?
A breast lift is all your own natural tissue unless you specifically choose to have implants. There are different scar patterns, a "standard" one being a sort of anchor shape with a line across the bottom edge of the breast, a vertical line, and a circle around the areola. If there is some skin laxity of the upper abdomen but not the lower portion, there is an option called a "reverse abdominoplasty" in which skin is removed from the upper abdomen and pulled up to close...

Breast lift
A breast lift is only to lift the sagging parts of the breast to a more natural position. There is nothing added during this procedure. However, some women lose the upper fullness of their breasts especially after multiple children and end up with what one of my patients called the "ball in sock look". For these patients a lift will not fill the upper pole of the breast and a small implant will improve the fullness in this area.
A breast lift will not tighten your stomach.

Breast lift changes
There is nothing normally added to the breast during a lift. Sometimes, an implant is placed, but obviously this is on a case by case basis after a long discussion between doctor and patient. Normally, breast lift surgery does not affect the abdomen. Yes, breast lift does leave scars. There are several techniques employed by plastic surgeons when performing breast lift surgery. All of them have different scar patterns. I suggest you find a local board-certified plastic surgeon and go...
