A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgery to reshape and lift sagging or drooping breasts. Pregnancy, weight gain and loss, gravity and breastfeeding all take a toll on your breasts. The breasts lose their shape and firmness as the skin loses its elasticity. A breast lift can also reduce the size of an enlarged areola (the dark skin around the nipple). Dr. Parker may perform your breast lift in Las Vegas in conjunction with a breast augmentation, if your breasts are small or have lost volume due to pregnancy.
Many women are unhappy to see their breasts begin to sag and droop, whether due to pregnancy and breastfeeding, age, or genetics. A breast lift can give you a more youthful figure, and may be the right solution if you have any of the following issues:

Each procedure at LV Plastic Surgery and Med Spa is uniquely tailored to your anatomy, goals and lifestyle. The personalized attention and discretion you receive from Dr. Becker creates the foundation for natural-looking, successful results.
Dr. Parker received his medical degree from the Chicago Medical School.

Dr. Parker subsequently completed additional elite training in the demanding field of cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery at the University of Wisconsin.
There are two standard incisions for performing a breast lift. These are:
Incision around areola, appropriate for mild sagging.
Around areola, vertically down lower portion of breast, and in breast crease, appropriate for moderate to severe sagging.
Getting pregnant after a breast lift is not a problem. However, there is a risk that your milk supply from breastfeeding could be affected. You may not be able to create as much milk as needed to sustain a child. There is also a chance that you could lose nipple sensation temporarily, which may take up to a year to fully restore. If not restored after a year, you could have lost that sensation indefinitely.
We can perform a breast lift and breast augmentation in one surgery if you want to enhance bust size. Sizers are used to help Dr. Parker select the implant size and shape that will look most attractive on your body. If you choose to have an augmentation along with your breast lift, the implants may be placed either under the muscle, or directly beneath the existing breast tissue – this will be discussed with you.
The degree of scarring you experience after a breast lift will depend in part on where the incisions are placed. If you underwent a crescent lift, the incisions will be well-hidden in the darker pigment of the areolas. Other approaches leave behind thin, inconspicuous scars that will fade over time. Medical-grade scar creams can help to improve your outcome as well.
For those who choose breast enhancement with the lift, a surgical pocket will be created in which to place the implant. Dr. Parker will choose the best type of breast implant to achieve the result and look you desire. Implants are warrantied against rupture, with a lifetime replacement, and up to $3,500 towards a future surgery.
In your breast lift, Dr. Parker may choose to use fat transfer to help fill in slight deficiencies in your breast but it will not create the same look as an implant would. This procedure has many benefits, including:
Yes, breast lift surgery can improve breast symmetry by reshaping and repositioning the breasts to achieve a more balanced appearance. Surgeons can adjust the size and shape of each breast to create symmetry, which can enhance the overall aesthetic outcome.
While breast lift surgery typically preserves the ability to breastfeed, it's essential to discuss this with your surgeon. Techniques that preserve milk ducts and nipple sensation can be used to minimize potential impacts on breastfeeding. However, individual factors like nipple position and surgical approach can influence outcomes.
The longevity of breast lift results varies based on factors like age, genetics, and lifestyle. Generally, the effects of a breast lift are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and avoid significant fluctuations. Gravity and aging may eventually cause some natural sagging over time, but the improvements achieved through surgery are typically enduring.
