Breast lift
A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure by restoring the position and shape that is often lost as gravity takes its toll. In breast lift surgery, also called mastopexy, the breasts are raised, the nipples are repositioned and the areolas may be reduced in size. If you have lost breast volume over the years and you want more fullness, implants may be inserted during the breast lift surgery to increase breast size.

You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if you have any of the following conditions:

• Breasts are pendulous, but are a size that is satisfactory to you

• Breasts lack substance or firmness

• Nipples and areolas point downward, especially if they are positioned below the breast crease.

How is a breast lift performed?
The specific method chosen for your breast lift will be determined by your anatomy, Dr. Wigoda's preferences and your desired results.

The most common method of breast lift involves three incisions. One incision is made around the areola. Another runs vertically from the bottom edge of the areola to the crease underneath the breast. The third is a horizontal incision beneath the breast that follows the natural curve of the breast crease.

After the surgeon has removed the excess breast skin and shaped the remaining breast tissue, the nipple and the areola are shifted to a higher position. The areola can also be reduced in size. Skin that was formerly located above the areola is brought down and together to reshape the breast.

Breasts that are not sagging significantly can be lifted with smaller incisions, leaving smaller and fewer scars.

	44 year old female. Before and 2 months after. Abdominoplasty also performed.
	30 year old with 2 previous surgeries by other surgeon. Patient originally only wanted to be lifted. In first surgery, surgeon placed 550cc implants to try to lift the breasts. (Note: this never works well) During second surgery, surgeon replaced 550cc implants with 350cc implants and did a lift. Patient felt she was still too large and not lifted enough. She requested removal of implants and a lift (which is what she should have had originally). Photos before surgery by Dr. Wigoda and 1 month after removal of implants and lift.
