Hi - After breast feeding both my kids for more than a year, my breasts have taken an impact. I am very uncomfortable with the idea of breast implants but would like to improve the appearance of my breast, so I was wondering what benefits I can achieve with a mini breast lift but with no implants. Also, what is the recovery time for this procedure and how soon can I go back and workout? Appreciate your thoughts and advice.
Answer: Mini Ultimate Breast Lift™ The Mini Ultimate Breast Lift™ is a new technique which reshapes your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevates them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.Aligning the areola and breast tissue over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes anterior projection without the use of implants.This technique avoids the ugly vertical scars of the traditional technique, maintains nipple sensation and the ability to breast feed.This technique was developed because of the dissatisfaction with the lollipop incision, which does not provide adequate lift.Patients wear a compressive underwire bra for 2 months and avoid physical activity using the pectoral major muscle for that time.This is required because the weight of the breast is transferred to the underlying muscle and muscle motion will interfere with the healing process.Patients frequently go back to work within a few days but do not work out for 2 months.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Answer: Mini breast lift without implants - consider the "California Breast Lift" You may be a good candidate for a minimal "short" scar technique breast lift without an implant. If more superior breast fullness is desired then consider a fat transfer procedure at the time of the lift - The "California Breast Lift" is a procedure which transfers unwanted fat from the abdomen or thighs to the breasts. See the below links for additional details. Typically the recovery is 3-4 weeks for most activities and 6 weeks for unrestricted exercise.

Answer: Mini breast lift? I really don't what a mini breast lift is. Traditional breast left techniques can improve the shape of the breast without implants. Typical recovery is 4 to 6 weeks.

Answer: Breasts mini lift Dear Maya, Submitting your front and side views would have very helpful. Breasts lift without implants is a very common procedure. Mini lift is indicated for breasts with level 1 ptosis ( saggyness ) or moderate level 2 ptosis. This procedure raises the nipples above the IMF ( infra mammary crease ) , reduces the size of the areolas and makes the upper poles some what fuller. The shape of the breasts becomes round. The procedure is limited to 11/2 or 2 inches of nipple elevation. When the breasts ptosis is level 3 or severe level 2, full lift ( key hole ) is indicated because of the large amount of excess skin and the need to elevate the nipples more than 2 inches. The result is very youthful breasts with oval shape. The scars , usually fade with time and are a good trade off for beautiful breasts. You can go back to light duty work after 2-3 days and normal physical activity after 2-3 weeks. Always consult with experienced board certified plastic surgeons who operate in accredited surgery center for your safety. Most importantly, check the before and after pictures to make sure that they are numerous, consistent and attractive. Check also the 'realself' reviews for positive patients experience which provides important information on the surgeons. Best of luck, Dr Widder
