The Breast Lift Procedure

Dr. Smita may recommend a lift to raise the breasts because of age, breastfeeding, and other factors.

Before surgery, Dr. Smita will ask you to stop taking medications that thin the blood, such as aspirin. If you smoke, you’ll need to stop about a month before your breast lift. Smoking interferes with the healing process and may cause problems with the incisions.

She’ll make incisions around the areola. It will go down the front of the breast from the areola bottom to the breast crease. It also may extend from the sides of the areola.
She’ll lift and reshape the breasts to give you the ideal profile. Also, she will move up the areolas and may decrease the breast size as needed.
Smita will remove excess skin to make the breasts firmer and higher.
She’ll close your incisions with sutures and skin adhesives. Then, she’ll try to place the incisions where they are less visible.

If you decide to have breast augmentation, she’ll insert the silicone or saline breast implants to increase the size of the breasts.
