He SPAIR technique is also called a minimal incision breast lift

The SPAIR technique is a marketing term for a minimal incision breast lift, otherwise know as a vertical mastopexy. Most surgeons have some knowledge regarding this technique, but not all patients are good candidates.

Call Dr. Hammond in Grand Rapids, Michigan

Dr. Dennis Hammond pioneered this technique and he is on the other side of Lake Michigan (Grand Rapids) . I would either call his office for a recommendation or drive the 3 hours to Grand Rapids to have the surgery by him. You could stay locally and then go home after that.
