Breast Lift
Pittsburgh, PA | Columbus, OH
For some women lifting and reshaping the breast without the use of breast implants, through breast lift surgery, is a more natural option for breast enhancement.
Breast lifts involve removing the excess skin of the breast and tightening the surrounding breast tissue to create fullness, volume and support to the natural breast.
A breast lift improves the appearance of:
- Sagging Breasts
- Flat, Deflated Breasts
- Poorly Shaped or Asymmetrical Breasts

Breast Lift with Implant
A breast lift can also be achieved through breast augmentation surgery – which involves a breast lift with implants. During a private consultation, the type, shape and position of the breast implant will be addressed based on the current condition of the breast and the amount of lift desired.
Incisions for Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift surgery typically requires three incisions to raise and reshape the breast for a fuller, more youthful appearance. However, usually only one incision, the vertical incision, is visible after breast is fully healed.
Breast Lift Post Surgical Recovery
Women experience varying degrees of discomfort after breast lift surgery, however any discomfort can be effectively managed with the proper pain medication. A surgical bra or compression garment will be worn for one month to help reduce post-operative swelling.
Depending on the type of job, most women find they are able to return to work within a week of having breast lift surgery.
FAQs: Breast Lift
Is it possible to breastfeed after having a breast lift?
Typically, breastfeeding is not affected by having a breast lift because the glandular tissue of the nipple and areola are left intact during breast lift surgery.
Does nipple sensation return after having breast lifts?
Following breast lifts, many women experience a temporary loss of sensation in the nipple and surrounding breast tissue. The loss of sensation occurs from nerve damage during the surgery. As the body heals itself, the nerves also heal and sensation is restored. However, in few cases the loss of sensation may improve, but not reach the same level as before breast lift surgery or it may become a permanent result of the surgery.
What are the alternative treatments to breast lift surgery?
Are there risks associated with Cosmetic Surgery procedures?
Men and women of all ages choose cosmetic surgery for a number of reasons and the process of deciding to have elective cosmetic plastic surgery is highly individualized and very personal. This decision can offer lasting improvement not only to an individual's physical appearance, but also to their self-confidence and self-esteem. However, choosing to have any type of elective surgery, including cosmetic surgery is not without risk and potential complications.
