What issues can a breast lift treat?

A breast lift helps raise the breasts higher along the chest wall and removes unwanted skin and tissue. The size of the nipple-areolar complex can be adjusted when enlarged.  While it can make the breasts appear perkier and more projected, it does not add overall volume to the breast. Breast lift surgery is excellent for:

• Elevating the breasts
• Restoring a naturally round shape
• Balancing out breasts of different sizes
• Reducing enlarged nipples

During your consultation, Dr. Wright will review your medical history and perform a physical exam. He will help you determine if breast lift surgery is the best procedure to help you achieve your goals.

How much does a breast lift cost in Little Rock, AR?

The price for breast lift surgery varies with the complexity of the surgery and whether implants or other procedures are included. You will be provided with a personalized price quote as part of your complimentary consultation with Dr. Wright. We offer patient financing to help qualified patients afford to pursue their desired improvements sooner rather than later. For the best possible surgical outcome, it’s important to consider your surgeon’s credentials above cost. Choose a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast enhancement surgery.

Should I get a breast lift with or without implants?

A breast lift can raise and reshape the breasts and restore a more youthful appearance. However, it cannot add volume or increase cup size. In fact, many women report that their breasts appear slightly smaller after breast lift surgery.

If you would like to correct sagging while also increasing breast size, consider combining your breast lift with implants. Breast augmentation can make breasts fuller and restore volume lost due to age or pregnancy.

Am I a good candidate for breast lift surgery?

You may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery if your breasts have loose, saggy skin and a deflated appearance. Ideal candidates are non-smokers who are close to their ideal weight and have not breastfed for at least 6 months.

Breast lift surgery is most often chosen by women who are finished having children and wish to restore their pre-pregnancy bodies with mommy makeover surgery. However, any patient who struggles with excessive drooping―such as those who have had their breast implants removed―can benefit from the procedure.

Can a breast lift be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Dr. Wright often combines breast lift surgery with other plastic surgery procedures to give patients multiple improvements with a single surgery and recovery period. Popular choices include one or more of the following:

• Breast augmentation
• Tummy tuck
• Liposuction

Because many women have breast and body procedures performed together after pregnancy and breastfeeding, these combination procedures are often called mommy makeovers.

What happens during breast lift surgery?

Breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Four different techniques can be used during surgery, depending on the patient’s specific needs and preferences.

• Periareolar: This method uses a crescent-shaped incision along the areola’s upper edge (the darker skin that surrounds the nipple). It’s a good choice for patients with enlarged areolas or minimal sagging.
• Circumareolar: Also known as the “doughnut lift,” this incision encircles the entire areola. It is used most frequently when a breast lift is combined with breast implants.
• Vertical: Also known as a “lollipop lift,” this technique requires a circular incision around the areola with a vertical incision extending down the middle of the breast. This method is an excellent option for women with moderate sagging.
• Anchor: This traditional approach to breast lift surgery involves an inverted T incision. It provides the most support for patients with significant sagging or those undergoing a breast reduction.

After making the incisions, Dr. Wright elevates and reshapes the sagging breast tissue to restore fullness to the upper portion of the breasts and reposition the areolas if necessary. He then closes the incisions with stitches or surgical tape. You will need to have an adult friend or loved one drive you home after your breast lift procedure.

How long is breast lift recovery?

Most breast lift patients can return to work within 7 to 10 days and resume their everyday activities. Your breasts will feel swollen or bruised for around 2 weeks after the procedure. You will need to wear a surgical support bra for 3 to 4 weeks after surgery, which will help reduce swelling and discomfort.

Breast Lift FAQ

Do you lose size when getting a breast lift?

While the more youthful, compact shape from a breast lift can make the breasts look smaller, only lax skin is removed during the surgery; the amount of breast tissue (volume) remains the same.

How painful is a breast lift?

A breast lift on its own typically involves moderate discomfort for the first few days. Having breast implants placed under the muscle along with a breast lift usually increases discomfort initially. Dr. Wright prescribes pain medication to keep patients as comfortable as possible; most don’t need it beyond the first week.

How long does it take breast lift scars to go away?

While all surgical scars are permanent, Dr. Wright’s refined techniques lead to the most discreet breast lift scars possible. After a breast lift, the scars are initially raised and red, then flatten and fade to pink and then white over the months after surgery. The majority of patients consider scarring a worthwhile trade-off for the improvement in breast and nipple shape they attain.

How long do breast lift results last?

Ideally, the breasts retain their improved shape for 10 to 15 years after surgery. There are a number of factors that influence this timeline, including:

• Age at the time of surgery
• Weight fluctuations
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
