Miami Breast Lift Surgery

Breast Lift in Miami, FL

Unfortunately, breasts do not maintain their youthfulness forever. As women age, their breasts begin to sag as a result of gravity. Sagging breasts are also very common after pregnancy or breast feeding. Sometimes a breast lift alone will create the look you desire, but often a breast enlargement is performed along with a breast lift.

Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Polo will help you decide on the type of surgery that is best for your particular needs. After a breast lift, your breasts will look more youthful and your nipples will be placed at the correct height. If you choose to combine breast enlargement with a breast lift, then your breasts will look fuller in addition to being perkier.

Breast lift is done on an outpatient basis at our Miami facility under local or general anesthesia. The design of the incisions can vary, but usually include incisions around the nipple areolar complex and in the crease under the breast. The nipple areolar complex is repositioned higher, the excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more normal position. The insertion of a breast implant may or may not be advisable, depending upon your preferences.

You will return home with only light dressings over the incision lines. Sutures are usually completely removed within 7 to 10 days. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication, and light activities may be started in 7 to 10 days.

Additional procedures which may enhance the result are Breast Reduction or Breast Enlargement.

The specific risks and the suitability of breast lift surgery can be determined only during your consultation with Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Polo. All surgical procedures have some degree of risk, but major complications are rare.
