As you age, in the case of major weight loss or breastfeeding, or if you have large breasts your breast tissue may begin to sag and even cause your nipples to stretch and point down. A breast lift can give you perkier breasts giving you a fuller, more youthful look.
What is Breast Lift Surgery?
A breast lift can help improve the look of your breasts by lifting and improving shape a fullness. Sagging can occur for various reasons, but Dr. Basile can assist by removing excess skin and giving you perkier, better-positioned breasts.
Types of Breast Lift
There are several approaches to breast lift surgery, and the breast lift technique used depends on the amount of sagging, breast size, and your aesthetic goals. Common options range from a more limited lift that focuses on reshaping and repositioning the nipple and areola to more comprehensive lifts that address significant skin laxity and breast drooping. During your cosmetic surgery consultation, Dr. Basile will evaluate your anatomy and discuss which type of breast lift will best restore a lifted appearance while maintaining your natural proportions.
What Our Patients Say
Before Your Breast Lift Surgery
Before your breast lift surgery, you will meet with our plastic surgeon, Dr. Basile for a detailed consultation to discuss your goals, medical history, and expectations. During your breast surgery consultation you can decide if you want the procedure performed on its own or in combination with a breast augmentation with breast implants or a breast reduction. You may be asked to stop certain medications, supplements, or nicotine use prior to surgery to support proper healing. Pre-operative instructions will also include guidance on preparing your home for recovery, arranging transportation, and planning time off from work to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience.
Your Breast Lift Procedure
To lift the breast, Dr. Basile will remove excess breast skin, tighten the remaining breast skin and reshape the breast contour 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 outpatient procedure will vary based on the size of your nipples, the amount of excess skin, and existing shape of your breasts.
After Your Breast Lift Procedure
Following your breast lift procedure, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort, which are normal parts of the healing process. Surgical support bra garments are typically worn by breast lift patients to protect the incisions and help maintain your new breast shape as your body heals. Dr. Basile and his team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits to monitor your progress and ensure optimal healing.

Incisions for the breast lift surgical procedure can be made around the areola, around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, or a combination of the two with an incision also below the breast crease.
