Breast Lift Chicago

At our practice in Chicago, breast lift surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures. For Chicago women who have experienced laxity or drooping of the breast as well as a loss of volume, a breast lift procedure, also known as a mastopexy, can help enhance the size, shape, and appearance of one’s breasts.

Factors that Can Cause Breast Sagging

Women experience breast reductions for a variety of reasons, including pregnancy and nursing, age, significant weight loss, gravity, and breast surgery. These factors can cause one’s breasts to lose elasticity, firmness, and shape, creating a sagging, unattractive appearance. With a breast lift procedure, excess breast skin can be removed, the breast tissue reshaped and the breasts lifted to their original position, helping to restore the patient’s youthful look and her breasts’ natural shape and size. In addition to a breast lift, implants are commonly used to further increase the size and shape of the patient’s breasts.

During your Breast Lift Consultation

In your consultation appointment, your Chicago breast lift surgeon will discuss the different breast lift techniques and enhancement options available. The methods used for a breast lift procedure will depend on the patient’s preoperative state, the desired outcome, and the plastic surgeon’s preference and level of experience.

What to Expect from Your Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery consists of removing excess skin from around the areola and the lower section of the breast and tightening the skin of the breast region. A breast lift procedure produces the best results on women with small, sagging breasts due to loss of elasticity, pregnancy, and nursing, significant weight loss or breast surgery. It is highly suggested that patients who plan to have future pregnancies postpone their breast lift surgery so that the final result is not changed.

Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery are in good physical health, emotionally stable, and begin their plastic surgery experience with a positive attitude and realistic expectations. Those with smaller breasts will further benefit from a breast lift with the addition of breast implants to add volume and fullness to their bustline. For breast lift patients with an adequate amount of breast tissue, there are a variety of different techniques available to enhance the size and shape of one’s bustline with minimal scarring.

Combining Breast Enhancement Procedures

A breast reduction and lift is a common procedure performed to ensure that the breasts are firm and have a tight shape following breast reduction surgery. A breast augmentation with lift is also a popular combination for women who want larger breasts that have a perky and youthful appearance. Dr. Gikas can let you know it a breast lift without implants or a breast lift with implants is the right choice for you.
