After pregnancy and weight loss, breasts will often lose their shape and fullness. The nipple tends to drop as well. This can lead to decreased confidence and trouble finding correctly fitting clothes and swimsuits. A breast lift removes the excess skin and lifts the nipple to its normal position, restoring a more youthful and attractive appearance to the breast. We use different incision patterns to achieve this goal depending on the patient’s needs. Sometimes patients will also add fullness to the upper pole of the breast, and this can be done with implants or fat grafting.
The American Society of Plastic Surgeons considers this a cosmetic procedure, and it is not covered by insurance.
