I appreciate your question. I perform a liposuction breast lift that removes tissue from the areas you don't want such as near the armpit and the lower portion hanging near your stomach. Once I use this to shape the breast I then remove the skin to tighten the breast and create a better shape with nice cleavage. Since I perform this less invasively the recovery time is faster and drains are not necessary. The size would depend on the proportion with your body versus going for a cup size. It works very well if there are asymmetries. I can also use the removed fat as a natural breast augmentation by grafting the fat back into the breast to create more projection or into the top to create more cleavage. This procedure can also be combined with an implant if needed or wanted. It should not affect nipple sensation, mammograms, cancer risk or breast-feeding. If you gain or lose weight, the transferred fat can do the same. The best way to assess and give true advice would be an in-person exam. Please see a board-certified plastic surgeon that specializes in aesthetic plastic surgery. Best of luck! Dr. Schwartz Board Certified Plastic Surgeon #RealSelf100Surgeon #RealSelfCORESurgeon
A breast lift (mastopexy) is often performed in patients with breasts thatare adequately sized but saggy. This is a powerful procedure that can lift thenipple, remove excess skin (and sometimes breast tissue), and reshape thebreasts to sit higher on the chest in a more youthful position. Thetrade off is a scar on the breast around the nipple with a possible extensiondown towards the breast crease creating a lollipop or inverted “T” pattern. Thesize and location of the scar depends on the amount of lift needed, thepatient’s anatomy, and surgeon preference.See the link below for more information on breast lifts.
