Breast Lift Miami

Breast Lift Miami surgery can be executed using several types of incisions. The right approach for your desired outcome and anatomical needs will be determined during your initial consultation with Dr. Salama. Most Mastopexy procedures are performed using one of the following methods:

Periareolar Lift: Also sometimes called a “donut” Mastopexy, the periareolar lift uses an incision made around the circumference of the areola (the pigmented area around the nipple). This is the most conservative Breast Lift option, and it is often appropriate for women who require only a small amount of lift to achieve their goals. With this technique the areola can be reduced in size as well.

Vertical Lift: Often referred to as the “lollipop” Breast Lift, a vertical lift uses the same circumferential incision as the periareolar lift as well as an additional incision from the areola vertically down to the inframammary fold. The inframammary fold is where the breast tissue meets the chest. This additional incision allows Dr. Salama to more effectively address excess skin and reshape the breast to achieve a firmer, fuller, and “perkier” outcome.

Inferior Pedicle Lift: This procedure is also known as the “anchor” approach. The first two incisions mirror those of the vertical lift, with a third incision created along the inframammary fold. This technique is often used with breasts that have significant ptosis, as it allows for the greatest amount of excess skin removal. The nipple and areola are also moved higher to obtain the most aesthetically pleasing outcome possible. This is the most commonly used technique for a breast lift as well as a breast reduction.

One Breast Lift method is not necessarily better than another, but one technique will likely be recommended as the best course of action for you. Each one offers unique benefits for the right patient. Dr. Salama will utilize the least invasive method that can optimize your results. If you have moderate droop, for instance, you probably will not need the anchor technique and instead may have a vertical lift, which has fewer incisions. However, if an anchor lift is recommended, you may not necessarily get the ideal results if you instead opt for the vertical lift. Dr. Salama will explain the options fully at your initial meeting and help you develop the appropriate treatment plan for your cosmetic goals and anatomic needs.

Breast tissue can begin to lose elasticity over time or as a result of other influences. This can cause many changes, including loss of volume, sagging, and other cosmetic concerns. Breast Lift surgery, medically referred to as Mastopexy, is designed to eliminate excess skin on the breasts and elevate the tissues to a younger-looking, more aesthetically appealing location on the chest. Additionally, this procedure can give breasts a firmer look and fuller appearance. To review, Breast Lift surgery can:

• Reduce excess skin
• Elevate breast tissue to a higher, more youthful-looking position
• Enhance symmetry
• Modify nipple and areola size and shape
