Breast Lift | Breast Lift with Implants | Gilbert, AZ | DrSkin Med Spa

Tired of heavy, drooping, or pendulous breasts? Explore the benefits of a rejuvenating breast lift from DrSkin Plastic Surgery, Regenerative & Medical Spa in Gilbert, AZ. Our surgical department is led by the renowned Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, who has earned the title of Top 100 Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon three years in a row for his exceptional skill, artistry, and experience. He specializes in breast lift procedures to help you achieve firmer, more youthful-looking breasts.

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a breast rejuvenation procedure that elevates the nipples and corrects sagging due to lost skin elasticity in the breasts to achieve a more youthful position and appearance. Whether you have always desired perkier breasts or want to correct the effects of aging, weight loss, genetics, or pregnancy and breastfeeding, a breast lift can help you achieve your desired shape and position.

Gravity, genetics, pregnancy and breastfeeding, environmental stressors, and the natural signs of aging can all cause saggy breasts, extra fat, and downward-facing nipples. These changes can significantly hinder a person’s self-confidence and cause them to wear uncomfortable bras or avoid wearing bathing suits. A breast lift procedure is designed to target and combat these common signs of aging related to the breasts and restore them to their best appearance.

In the highly experienced hands of Dr. Jaiswal and our team of physicians at DrSkin Med Spa, a breast lift can:

Improve nipple position, size, and projection
Reduce under-breast irritation and rash
Relieve shoulder and back pain by removing excess fat and skin from sagging breasts
Deliver natural-looking results by lifting and tightening the appearance of sagging or drooping breasts
Restore a youthful breast appearance by addressing excess skin, fat, and downward-pointing nipples

What Is a Breast Lift with Implants?

A breast lift with implants, or augmentation mastopexy, is a treatment designed to eliminate sagging breast skin and lift the breasts higher on the chest while increasing and enhancing the breast size and shape. A combination procedure is ideal for women who would like to address breast ptosis in addition to volume loss in the breasts.

A breast lift with implants offers multiple benefits, including:

Elimination of excess, inelastic skin that contributes to a sagging breast appearance
Tightening the breast skin and elevating the tissue for a firmer, more youthful appearance and projection
Increasing breast size for a fuller, more aesthetic appearance
Resizing and repositioning of the nipples

A breast lift or breast lift with implants can be effective treatments on their own or in combination with a full Mommy Makeover procedure. It is entirely natural and common for women to experience a significant loss of volume and sagging of the breasts following pregnancy or breastfeeding. Breast lift or breast lift with implants procedures can address these concerns with exemplary results and help women get back to their pre-pregnancy figures.

At DrSkin Med Spa, we firmly believe every patient should be provided with a clear understanding of their procedure, which is why we offer unique consultation and surgical experiences. Our team has been carefully selected to include only the best physicians and clinicians in the country. At the helm of our plastic surgery department, we are honored to have 16-year veteran and Top 100 Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, who brings his exceptional training, experience, and advanced surgical techniques to every breast lift or breast augmentation procedure he conducts in Gilbert, AZ.

What to Expect During Your Breast Lift | Breast Lift with Implants Consultation?

For your initial consultation at DrSkin Med Spa, you can expect to pay nothing, and all initial surgical consultations are free. Upon your arrival, you will be greeted by one of our clinicians who will welcome you to our office and guide you throughout the process.

Your clinician will take you to a treatment room and discuss your breast concerns. They will educate you about the details of your preferred treatments and other possible options. Your initial consultation is your opportunity to ask any questions or address concerns regarding your preferred surgery. The clinician will then take a series of photographs of your breasts for your file, discuss your expected recovery and surgical fees, and answer any final questions. The clinician will share your file with Dr. Jaiswal, who will determine your candidacy for treatment and finalize the cost of your surgery.

After Dr. Jaiswal has thoroughly reviewed your case, the clinician will contact you again with feedback from Dr. Jaiswal and possible next steps. Once you’ve agreed to move forward, a formal quote will be provided, and a second consultation will be scheduled between you and Dr. Jaiswal to dive into further details surrounding your surgery, expected recovery, and other particulars of your procedure.

Breast Lift Procedure

Experienced plastic surgeons like Dr. Rohit Jaiswal utilize different advanced surgical techniques for breast lift procedures, depending on the patient’s unique breast size, shape, and goals. A breast lift focuses on removing sagging skin and excess tissue as well as repositioning the nipple so that it projects forward rather than down. Dr. Jaiswal will artistically contour your breasts with your shoulders, waist, and hips in mind, forming a golden ratio, resulting in a youthful, healthy, and confident appearance.

During a breast lift, Dr. Jaiswal will mark each breast around the areola where he plans to make the incisions. These incisions can extend down from the areola to the breast crease in the shape of a lollipop. Dr. Jaiswal will then strategically remove excess skin, lift the breasts, and reshape them to become more symmetrical. If necessary, he can also reduce the size of each areola and move them higher on the breast mounds. The incisions will be closed using dissolvable sutures and protected with surgical tape. A breast lift generally takes anywhere from two to three hours.

Breast Lift with Implants Procedure

Breast lift with implants is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia at a fully accredited, state-of-the-art, off-site surgical facility.

During a breast lift with augmentation, Dr. Jaiswal will first place your breast implants, followed by the breast lift. Dr. Jaiswal will explain his approach and the preferred technique he will use to accomplish your breast lift during your consultation. Once the implants have been placed, Dr. Jaiswal will remove excess breast tissue and reposition the breasts on the chest wall for a more youthful projection and appearance.

In most breast augmentation cases, Dr. Jaiswal implements an advanced implant delivery device called the Keller Funnel. The Keller funnel is a lubricated medical appliance that helps Dr. Jaiswal cleanly and precisely deliver your implants into your breast pocket. It is designed to enhance the safety, efficiency, and effectiveness of breast augmentation surgery by up to 50%. Benefits of using the Keller Funnel include reduced risk of breast implant contamination, capsular contraction, infection, and post-operative pain. The risk of future complications is also lessened, and shorter incision lengths lead to less operating time, which results in quicker healing and expedited recovery.

Breast Lift Techniques

A breast lift can be performed using three potential incision techniques. The amount of sagging skin, excess tissue, patient body type, desired goals, and implants, if involved, will determine which technique Dr. Jaiswal will use to create the most natural results.

Vertical Lift (Lollipop Lift)

An incision is made around the areolae and extends downward to the underside of the breasts in the crease. A vertical breast lift can be beneficial for patients who have moderate sagging and only need a slight lift.

Crescent Lift

A crescent breast lift is regarded as the least invasive option as it only requires a small, semi-circular incision that lines up with the upper half of the areola. This makes it an excellent option for patients who only need a small amount of realignment of the nipples.

Donut or Periareolar Lift

A donut mastopexy is performed with incisions that encircle the entire periphery of the areolae, compared to other techniques of breast lift surgery, a donut mastopexy requires the smallest and fewest number of incisions and is most commonly used for breast lifts with implants.

Anchor Lift

An anchor lift is the oldest and most common breast lift technique. Its name comes from the incision pattern, which resembles an anchor. The incision starts by circling the entire circumference of the areolae, then extending downward to the breast crease, and continuing horizontally along the underside of the breasts. While this technique does cause the most scarring, it is the most effective option for women with severe sagging and significant excess skin.

The Best Candidate for Breast Lift | Breast Lift with Implants

Ideal candidates for a breast lift or breast lift with implants in Arizona at DrSkin Med Spa are individuals who have lost breast skin elasticity and firmness due to significant weight loss or pregnancy and have experienced atrophy or a deflated appearance of their breasts. The goal of a breast lift is not just to elevate a patient’s self-esteem but also to increase their overall happiness and quality of life.

Candidates for surgery must be in good overall health with no current medical conditions that could hinder their surgical success or recovery. To determine whether a breast lift is right for you, our team of experts, led by Dr. Jaiswal, will provide their professional feedback and guide you through this important life-changing procedure.

What Can You Expect on the Day of Your Breast Lift | Breast Lift with Implants?

When you arrive at our state-of-the-art, world-class surgical facility in Gilbert, Arizona, on the day of your breast lift, you will be greeted by our patient coordinator and taken to the operating room to be prepared for surgery. Once Dr. Jaiswal arrives, he will review the details of your customized breast lift or augmentation-mastopexy. He will use a non-toxic, skin safe pen to mark the specific areas on your breast where he plans to place incisions and alter your breasts to your desired shape, size, and position.

As Dr. Jaiswal marks your skin, he will discuss his approach to your breast lift, including where he will make the incisions, how he plans to place the breast implants, the type of dissolvable sutures he will use, any expected discomfort, and review your post-operative instructions.

Once the surgical area is thoroughly prepared, a board-certified anesthesiologist will put you into a deep and comfortable sleep, and Dr. Jaiswal will begin the surgical process, which generally requires 2 to 3 hours, depending on the specific nature of your breast lift.

After the surgery is complete, your incisions will be closed, and you will be taken to a private room for recovery.

Breast Lift Recovery

Once you have woken up from anesthesia, Dr. Jaiswal will review your post-op care instructions and clear you to leave with your caretaker.

Recovery from a breast lift takes approximately 1 to 8 weeks; however, this varies by patient. You will likely experience 1 to 2 weeks of downtime after the procedure and should rest for the first 7 days. During this time, any intense post-operative pain and discomfort will dissipate. Light walking is encouraged immediately after surgery to stimulate blood flow and healing factors, but only after Dr. Jaiswal says it’s safe. For the better part of the first week, your job is to sleep and rest.

After the first week, you’ll begin to notice swelling and bruising start to resolve, and you should feel more like yourself. You can start walking more and moving around more frequently, but you should refrain from heavy lifting or applying pressure to the breasts.

Most patients return to work within 1 to 2 weeks after surgery. Your sutures are dissolvable and will slowly disintegrate naturally over time. Continue to refrain from strenuous exercises and heavy lifting during this time, but light, sedentary work is safe and acceptable.

By weeks 4 and 5, you will be able to start thoroughly enjoying the results of your breast lift. Your incisions should be fully healed, and if you choose to have implants, they should settle into place.

With dedication to our patient’s safety, health, and general well-being, our post-operative protocol is extremely hands-on and attentive. We schedule mandatory follow-up appointments with Dr. Jaiswal and another physician on our staff the day after your surgery, weekly for one month, and monthly for up to 3 to 4 months. This protocol helps ensure successful outcomes and a comfortable, safe recovery of our patients.

Final results are usually visible within 6 to 8 weeks. Most scarring is inconspicuously placed within the native coloration of the areolas or in the natural crease of the breast, leaving you with few visible marks from your surgery and incisions. Dr. Jaiswal will provide medical-grade scar therapy to ensure the best appearance possible.

Breast Lift FAQs

Am I a good candidate for a breast lift procedure?

If you suffer from depression, a loss of confidence, or self-esteem due to the appearance of your breasts, you may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery. Women who have experienced asymmetry and unevenness, atrophy, deflated, flat, or saggy breast tissue may also be good candidates for the procedure. Candidates who are near or at their optimal body weight, not pregnant or breastfeeding, are in good overall health, and have realistic expectations may qualify for a breast lift. Our medical team, led by plastic surgeon Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, can help you determine the right surgery for you. Call us today at (480) 904-3311 to book your complimentary consultation!

Will a breast lift without implants make breasts look smaller or larger?

Most patients indicate that a breast lift makes their breasts look larger and fuller. However, when a breast lift is performed without implants, breasts can appear smaller. This is due to the removal of excess skin and soft tissue. Once the excision of skin and tissue is complete, the breasts and nipples are repositioned to ensure proper symmetry, leaving greater volume in the upper breast and less volume in the lower breast. This results in perkier, fuller, rounder-looking breasts. The redistribution of soft tissue to the upper breast from the lift helps combat and eliminate unevenness and asymmetry and enhances projection.

Can my breasts sag after a breast lift?

While the results of your breast lift surgery are permanent, the procedure doesn’t prevent you from experiencing weight fluctuations and cannot stop your body from aging. Often referred to as a mastopexy, a breast lift will help tighten, enhance, reshape, and reposition breast tissue. As you age, your skin will lose elasticity, which can result in saggy, loose skin, especially for patients with heavier, larger breasts. Extreme weight fluctuations are highly discouraged as significant weight gain can have similar effects. Maintaining a healthy, stable weight will help you retain your results indefinitely.

How long does it take for breast lift incisions to heal?

Your incisions will take 1 to 3 weeks to heal, and you should expect some scarring post-surgery. Most patients return to work within 1 to 2 weeks. Bruising, inflammation, and swelling will subside within 4 to 5 weeks, and your scars should mature 12 to 16 weeks after your breast lift surgery. Dr. Jaiswal is a highly skilled and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon who employs advanced surgical techniques and has performed over 1000 breast lift cases during his illustrious career. He will ensure your scars are inconspicuous and extremely difficult to see.

How should I sleep after a breast lift?

As with many surgical procedures, after a breast lift, it’s critical to sleep on your back with your head in an elevated position, 30 to 45 degrees. This will expedite your recovery, reduce swelling and inflammation, minimize fluid buildup, improve circulation, and encourage blood flow, which promotes healing. Sleeping on your stomach or side will increase pressure on your breasts and your new incisions, which can lead to complications and require corrective action.

Can I get pregnant after a breast lift?

Yes, you can still get pregnant; your body and subsequent reproductive organs will remain intact during a breast lift. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding post-surgery can affect the results of your breast lift due to the hormonal changes your body experiences during pregnancy. These changes can enlarge and stretch existing breast tissue, while breastfeeding can alter the shape, positioning, and symmetry of both your breasts and nipples.

Will I be able to breastfeed after breast lift surgery?

Yes, you will be able to breastfeed following breast lift surgery once you have fully recovered. Typically, a breast lift does not affect the nipple-areola complex or underlying tissue, so your milk ducts should remain intact and undisrupted. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding after a breast lift will likely alter the results of your breast lift surgery. Therefore, we encourage patients to consult with our medical team, headed by plastic surgeon Dr. Rohit Jaiswal, to determine if a breast lift is right for them.

Can I combine a breast lift and breast augmentation or breast reduction?

Yes, a breast lift can be combined with many different procedures, which include breast augmentation or breast reduction. Breast lift surgery may also accompany a tummy tuck or a mommy makeover for full-body rejuvenation. Combining your breast lift surgery with an additional procedure is dependent on your breast and body goals. Dr. Jaiswal is a Top 100 Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon with over 16 years of experience and training. During your consultation, he will provide you with his input and feedback, based on your body proportions and goals, to help you make an educated decision about which procedure is best for you.

Is a breast lift covered by insurance?

Most health insurance carriers will not cover or reimburse a patient for breast lift surgery because the procedure is deemed elective and cosmetic. If you are seeking an exemption, you must prove medical necessity and provide documentation, which may include treatment and referral from other specialists. Conditions like mastectomy reconstruction and breast reduction due to continuous or worsening back, shoulder, and neck pain, and ongoing health concerns persisting for 6 to 12 months may be considered inclusionary by some insurance companies.

What is the recovery time from breast lift surgery?

As there are many variables with breast lift surgery, individual results and recovery vary based on the extent of your procedure. In some cases, patients experience instant results following surgery. Most patients, however, begin to realize the full scope and scale of their results 6 to 8 weeks after their breast lift. By this time, swelling, inflammation, and residual bruising will have subsided, and your incisions will be healed. You should be back to your regular routine, and your breasts should be settling into their new, final, sculpted shape.
