Breast Lift San Diego

What is a Breast Lift?

At our office in San Diego Breast Lift surgery is a procedure to restore the breasts to a more youthful position on the chest, while reshaping the breast tissue to a plump, rounded look and improved cleavage. In many cases, the nipple/areolas are repositioned, so they are at the front of the breast, and can be reduced in size if large areolas are a problem. This surgery is the perfect way to restore breasts that have any of the following problems:

• Saggy breasts
• Excess loose skin on breasts causing a droopy look
• Breasts that no longer look full and rounded
• Unevenly-sized breasts
• Nipples that point downward
• Overlarge nipple/areolas
• Flat or deflated looking breasts

Who is a candidate for a breast lift?

Breast lift is a suitable procedure for those bothered that their breasts have started sagging or lost their shape or volume. Factors like genetic predisposition, age, hormonal changes, and pregnancy may make your breasts grow flatter, elongated, and pendulous, with your nipples falling below the breast crease. The skin around your areolas may also seem stretched, and your areolas may point downwards. While these changes are natural, they lead to severe self-consciousness and self-image issues. You’re a suitable candidate for a breast lift if you identify with any of the aforementioned conditions. However, to qualify for the procedure, you must be in good overall physical and mental health with realistic expectations from the treatment. You must not have underlying medical conditions that preclude you from the Breast Lift. Generally speaking, you would likely not be a suitable candidate for a breast lift if:

• You have a family history of breast cancer
• You have a history of bleeding or clotting disorders
• You consume tobacco or smoke regularly and aren’t willing to stop
• Your BMI puts you in the “obese” category

What are the different techniques used for mastopexy?

Dr. Sadrian is a masterful artist when it comes to delivering elegant, natural-looking breast lift outcomes. He will select the most appropriate approach for your goals and needs after conducting an in-depth consultation. Below is an overview of each technique. Circumareolar lift — When a woman has only a minor level of breast ptosis, this may be the ideal approach. Small incisions are created encircling the nipples, with scarring well-concealed by the darker pigments of the areolas. Dr. Sadrian can resize the areolas during this procedure as well. Vertical lift — Here, the incision encircles the nipples and runs down vertically to the breast crease, creating the appearance of a lollipop.

This approach is more appropriate for women with moderate breast sagging, as it affords the surgeon improved access and flexibility when removing excess skin, tissue, and fat. Anchor lift — This approach is ideal for women with severe breast ptosis. The incision encircles the nipple, travels vertically down the breast to the inframammary fold, and then stretches horizontally across the base of the breast, creating the appearance of an upside-down “T” or anchor. This technique allows Dr. Sadrian the opportunity to dramatically reshape the breast profile for a more youthful and elevated final appearance.
