Breast lift is a common procedure that can be performed with or without the insertion of breast implants. In the breast lift surgery, the surgeon makes an anchor shaped incision along the natural contour of the breast.

Finally, we bring the skin surrounding the areola down and together to reshape the breast, and close the incisions with stitches. Working through this incision, the surgeon sculpts the skin and tissue and repositions the nipple to give the breast a new and youthful appearance.
