Breast Lift

Breast lift, offered by Dr. Padovan, can rejuvenate breasts that appear droopy or are sagging due to pregnancy, massive weight loss, or the natural aging process. Many of our breast surgery patients choose to combine breast lift with augmentation, as a breast lift does not add volume on its own.

The breast lift procedure begins with the doctor making three incisions; one along the crease beneath the breast, one around the areola, and a vertical incision connecting the two. The surgeon will then bring the skin together beneath the breast to create a tighter, shapelier contour. In most cases, the nipple is relocated to give the breast a more aesthetically pleasing appearance.

After the incisions are sutured closed, the surgeon will apply a compression garment to aid healing. Following your Breast Lift, you will need to follow your surgeon's instructions carefully to help minimize the appearance of your scars. They will take several months to flatten out and lighten in colour, and though they will never fade completely, most women find that they are very happy with the results of the breast lift overall.
