How is a Breast Lift procedure performed?
To lift the breast, Dr. Basile will remove unnecessary sagging skin, tighten the remaining skin and reshape the breast with existing tissues. In many cases, it is necessary that the areola is reduced in size and repositioned to the new shape of your breasts. The procedure will vary based on the size of your nipples, the amount of excess skin, and existing shape of your breasts.
