Breast Lift Surgery Procedure
Every breast lift surgery is different, as each breast lift patients has their own unique set of physical factors and aesthetic goals. Dr. Schulman, a New York based board certified plastic surgeon, will use specific techniques designed to minimize incisions and decrease scarring compared to traditional breast lift New York city procedures.
The techniques used in your breast lift will depend on the size and shape of your breasts, the degree of sagging breasts, the size and position of your areolas, and the elasticity of your skin. You’ll know well before your breast lift the specific techniques Dr. Schulman plans on using, as that’s something you’ll discuss during your breast lift consultation.
Once anesthesia has been administered and you are ready for surgery, Dr. Schulman will begin by making a series of incisions in your breast running down to your breast crease. The location and pattern of the incisions will depend on your breast shape and areola size.
After the incision is made down to your breast crease, the underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped. Then the nipple and areola are moved to a higher and more youthful positions. Large areolas are made smaller. Excess skin is then removed.
The final step after the breasts have been lifted and reshaped is to close the incisions. Depending on the location of your incisions, they may be concealed in the breast’s natural contours, but they may be visible. Dr. Schulman will determine the best incision placement based on your anatomy and surgical goals. Your incision lines will fade over time.
