Breast Lift

Breast augmentation is a procedure in which breast size is increased using silicone or saline breast implants. It is also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty, breast enhancement surgery, or breast enlargement surgery.

A breast lift is accomplished by removing excess skin from around the nipple and/or the lower aspect of the breast. Consequently the nipple is elevated to a more youthful position, and the areola is typically reduced in size. The amount of skin that needs to be removed depends on the degree of droopiness.

Breast augmentation is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure performed in the United States and has a very high rate of patient satisfaction. Dr. Clay Forsberg and Dr. David Kelly are both certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and are highly experienced in breast augmentation surgery.

A breast lift is a very common operation that helps improve the shape, projection, and appearance of the breast. It improves self confidence in many women, helping them feel better about the way they look both in and out of clothing.

A breast augmentation increases the volume of the breast while a breast lift elevates the nipple and areola to a more youthful position on the breast and tightens loose skin. While a breast implant will help fill loose and deflated skin on the breast, it will not correct a breast with significant droopiness on its own. A good rule of thumb is that if the nipple lies below the level of the lower breast fold, a breast lift will be needed – with or without implants – to provide an optimal result.

Each patient is unique – unique in what they want to achieve and unique in what the anatomy of their breasts will allow breast augmentation to achieve. It is not a one size fits all “cookie cutter” procedure that can be shaped for on line. Dr. Clay Forsberg and Dr. David Kelly are both certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and are highly experienced in breast augmentation surgery.

Mastopexy is a procedure where the breast is reshaped to provide a more youthful appearance. A breast lift improves droopy or saggy breasts in 4 primary ways:

The excess loose skin of the breast is reduced

The breast tissue itself is reshaped, becoming firmer and more youthful

The nipple is elevated to the center of the breast mound

The size of the areola (pigmented skin around the nipple) is also reduced
