Breast lift cosmetic surgery procedure is designed to lift droopy breasts and provide them a more youthful and perkier projection, while creating more sensuous breast contours. The procedure may be performed alone or in conjunction with other surgeries such as breast augmentation. Women typically achieve a younger and fitter appearance, and feel more confident and attractive about their body after a breast lift.

Breast Lift Before and After Photo Gallery Types of Breast Lift
A number of innovative breast lift techniques are available today, and the surgeon will choose a technique and incision pattern that meets the unique needs of a patient.
Standard Breast Lift Traditional breast lift surgery involves an anchor shaped incision that is created around the areola circumference, along with another vertical incision down to the base of the breast. A third incision is made along the breast crease horizontally. Sagging lower half of the breasts can be addressed very effectively with this technique.
Doughnut Mastopexy This technique involves relatively lesser amount of skin removal as compared to a standard breast lift. It results in minimal scarring and reduced downtime. The technique involves circumferential incisions around the nipple and areola to remove a limited amount of breast tissue to lift the breasts.
Lollipop Lift This technique falls somewhere in between a doughnut lift and a standard lift. The procedure begins with the surgeon creating an incision around the areola and nipple, while a smaller incision is made vertically down to the breast crease. Women who require a moderate lift can benefit from this technique.
Laser Bra Lift This is one of the latest, innovative alternatives to standard breast lift. In this procedure, the surgeon will use the excess skin to support the underside of the breasts, instead of removing excess skin. The procedure can provide more sustainable and longer lasting results.
Recovery
Most patients will need at least one week off from work to achieve adequate recovery following breast lift. Mild pain and discomfort during this period can be relieved with pain medications.
