Light, Elevated, and Beautiful Breasts

Our breasts change over time. With age, pregnancy, weight loss and more, they can lose elasticity and volume, resulting in breast tissue that stretches, sags, and droops. When this occurs, Dr. Wingate can gently elevate and reshape your breasts—which can profoundly impact your entire appearance.

A Breast Lift Can

  • Elevate your breasts so they sit higher on your chest
  • Make your breasts more balanced and symmetrical
  • Position your areola so it faces forward
  • Trim away excess skin
  • Tighten loose breast tissue
  • Reshape your breasts to a rounded and more youthful appearance

Breast Lift Before & After

The Surgery

Dr. Wingate will perform your mastopexy under general anesthesia. Once the medication has taken effect, he will begin the artistic process of shaping, elevating, and repositioning your breast tissue.

He will perform your lift in one of three ways, depending on your unique needs:

Periareolar

The periareolar breast lift is also known as the donut technique because the incision is created around the areola, just like a donut. Through that opening, Dr. Wingate can make minor adjustments to the position of your breasts. As such, it tends to be the ideal option for women who require a less substantial lift.

Vertical Scar

The incisions for this approach are created around the areola and down the front of the breast. Because the opening is larger than with the periareolar technique, Dr. Wingate can address moderate to severe breast drooping with this approach.

Horizontal Scar

This approach requires the largest opening—around the areola, down the front of the breast, and along the breast crease. Through that extensive incision, Dr. Wingate can lift very large breasts and correct the most severe degree of breast drooping.

Breast Lift + Implant

Because of the remodeling involved during a breast lift, your chest will often appear smaller after the surgery. To counter this, many patients choose to combine their mastopexy with implants. In these cases, Dr. Wingate will place the implant first. Then, he’ll remodel the breast tissue around the new breast size.

The Recovery + Results

Most of our patients can return to work and light daily activities one week after their breast lift. However, it can take up to eight weeks to fully resume more vigorous exercise. When your final results appear, you can expect to see youthful, perky, and beautiful breasts that last for a very long time.

Breast LiftFrequently Asked Questions

Will I have scars after my breast reduction?

Breast reduction surgery will result in some scars. However, Dr. Wingate will strategically place the incisions so that the resulting scars are concealed in the natural contours of your breast or easily hidden by a bra or bathing suit.
