The breast lift is very appealing for women who have droopy, sagging or uneven breasts. Breast lifts also improve the appearance of nipples that project outward and unevenly. Breast lifts are most often performed to improve ptosis which is the medical term for sagging breasts. In fact, the breast lift may be the more appropriate procedure for women who initially thought that the breast augmentation was the only option to improve their appearance. The breast lift may be combined with a breast augmentation or breast reduction to provide the most flattering results for some breast enhancement patients.

Dr. Blau will enlighten you about the breast lift during a complimentary consultation with him. A personal consultation is often the only means to learn if the breast lift procedure applies to your particular situation. It is important to note that Dr. Blau is among a select number of board certified plastic surgeons who can adequately perform the breast augmentation breast lift combination procedure at the same time. This combination is most difficult without an experienced eye for positioning of the breasts and nipples. Dr. Blau has over twenty years of board certified plastic surgery experience performing breast augmentation breast lift combinations on women of every shape and size.

Breast Lift Technique:
Dr. Blau uses techniques to create an optimal appearance with the least conspicuous scar. During the breast lift procedure, a small incision will be made around the edge of the areola, excess skin will be trimmed away, the breast may be remodeled, nipple repositioned to meet new requirements, and the incision will be sutured in place. When a breast augmentation breast lift combination is performed, Dr. Blau will place the breast implants through the nipple incision first, then perform the breast lift procedure. He will take delicate care to position the nipple in an approximated higher initial position to allow for the dropping of the breasts that naturally occurs after a breast augmentation procedure over time. In the case of a breast reduction breast lift combination, Dr. Blau may use liposuction to remove fatty breast tissue through the nipple incision and then trim away excess skin to accommodate for breast lift requirements before closing the incision. Some women pursue the breast lift after an initial breast surgery. In this case, Dr. Blau can usually use the same incision to perform the breast lift. Dr. Blau has performed 100’s of breast lift procedures.

Breast Lift Before and After Photos:
It may be difficult to discern the results of a breast lift when performed in combination with another breast surgery procedure at first glance. Yet, Dr. Blau has many before and after breast lift photos to help women distinguish between the results of breast lift combinations. It is often interesting to compare results of patients that did not undergo the breast lift vs. patients that have. To view photos, click here.

Breast Lift Testimonials:
Dr Blau has videos that provide patient testimonials and demonstrate surgery so you can gather a greater understanding of breast surgery. In fact, you can have access to patients who have undergone the breast lift procedure to help identify with the type of results you may expect to achieve.

Breast Lift Costs:
Breast lift costs will be reviewed by Dr. Blau at the time of your complimentary consultation. Plastic surgery related costs associated with the breast lift are comprised of surgical facility fees, anesthesia fees, and plastic surgeon fees. Anesthesia and facility fees will not be duplicated when both a breast lift and breast augmentation or breast lift and breast reduction is performed at the same time. In some cases of breast reduction breast lift combinations, your insurance may cover a portion or all of the costs associated with the procedure. Dr. Blau will help prepare paperwork to receive preapproval from insurance companies when a medical necessity for a breast reduction is identified in the treatment plan.
