BREAST LIFT in fort collins

Breast Lifting Surgery

HIGHLIGHTS
1. Recent advancements in surgical techniques have led to enhanced outcomes for breast lifts, resulting in improved shape and long-term lift compared to traditional methods.
2. A combination of energy-assisted lifts and minimally invasive surgical procedures with reduced incisions often yields excellent results.
3. Options for incisions include periareolar, “lollipop” pattern, or a full anchor pattern, providing alternatives for lift or reshaping.

REAL PATIENT STORY

This 41-year-old developed drooping breasts following having children. She liked her size and did not want to be larger. She requested a lift, and did not mind incisions if her shape was good.
Left: Patient before surgery. Right: 6 weeks following surgical breast reshaping and lift. Our reshaping technique uses the patient’s own breast tissue to create an implant like appearance, without using actual breast implants.

I had you do a breast lift four years ago after I lost weight. I’ve lost even more weight, and now I need more help. I’m afraid that taking out more skin will make me look even smaller.

Left: Patient preoperative view. Right: 2014, six weeks following surgical breast lift.

Same patient several years later, after further weight loss. The lift has not diminished. More volume is needed.

Left: Same patient before breast augmentation. Right: Six weeks after subpectoral augmentation with cohesive gel implants.

When can a breast augmentation be a lift? I have some skin laxity after having children, but I don’t want the scars and would like to be a little fuller.

Left: 39 year old mom of 2 preoperatively. Right: 6 weeks after bilateral breast augmentation.

This patient has an excellent result as her nipples do not sit too low, and her skin envelope is not overly large.

How would I know if I can get by with just a breast augmentation for my lift? Can you give me some guidelines?

Left: 35 year old mother of 4. Note large areolae that sit very low. Right: Patient 3 months after breast augmentation and PerkyLift. Skin tightening was needed because of the low nipples.

Good general guidelines for “lift” success with a breast augmentation alone include:

a. Nipples that are not too low. If there is no visible skin under the areola in the front view, you probably need more help than just a breast augmentation.
b. A skin envelope that is mildly to moderately large. Measurements will help to determine if skin excision is needed.
c. In cases where the skin envelope only needs about a 25% reduction, combining an RF Perkylift with a breast augmentation can give good results.

My breasts look big, but I think it’s mostly skin. Can you reshape my breasts without reducing the size?

Left: 50 year old 36D wanted a lift, not smaller. Right: 6 weeks after breast reshaping. Breasts may look slightly smaller when extra skin is removed.
