Breast Lift in Sacramento
Breast size and shape can change over time, and breast ptosis, or sagging of the breasts, is very common after having children and breastfeeding, weight loss, or with age. Many women feel self-conscious about these changes, and breast lift surgery can help to lift and reposition the breast and nipples to a higher, perkier position on the chest.
A breast lift does not require much removal of breast tissue, so your current breast size should remain pretty much the same. If you want to increase or decrease your breast size as well as lift, then combining breast augmentation or breast reduction with a lift may provide the best outcome.
For Dr. Davis, great breast surgery results are about achieving the desired look, size, symmetry, and shape for each woman.
More about Breast Lift
During Your Consultation
During your breast lift consultation, Dr. Davis will assess the degree of sagging as well as the volume and symmetry of both breasts and take measurements. He will then provide his recommendations to get you the outcome you are looking for and walk you through the process so you can feel informed and comfortable before making a decision. The consultation provides the perfect opportunity to share your goals so that you know if a breast lift is right for you, or if you would be happier with a lift with implants or a breast reduction.
Technique
Prior to going into surgery, Dr. Davis will measure and mark your breasts for the lift. These markings serve as a guide in surgery to insure the best possible shape and symmetry. Using incisions that result in either the "lollipop" or "anchor" scar patterns, the excess skin of the breasts is removed and reshaped and the breast tissue is lifted and suspended to achieve a perkier shape. The size of the areola is also reduced to keep it in proportion with the breast. The surgery takes around 2-3 hours and is performed under general anesthesia.
Recovery
After surgery you will be placed in a supportive bra and will return to the office the next day for us to check on you. We will continue to check on you as you recover and are of course here and available any day if you have any questions or concerns. Recovery from a breast lift is quite rapid. You'll feel sore for a few days but will feel good within a week. Change in nipple sensitivity after surgery is common and often returns to normal in a few months. Scars are the most noticeable around 6 weeks and then will begin to fade. After the first week, you can gradually increase your activity level, and strenuous exercise can resume at 6 weeks.

Q&A with Dr. Davis
The scars for a breast lift go around the nipple and areola and vertically down to the fold beneath the breast (the "lollipop"). Sometimes, depending on the patient's goals, the incisions might extend horizontally along the fold (the "anchor"). These scars should heal well and are hidden under clothing. The scars are necessary to move the nipple and get rid of the excess skin to reshape and lift the breast.
During your consultation, we will discuss your desired result and I will be able to help you decide if you would benefit from implants at the time of the lift. Some women are able to achieve their desired outcome with a lift alone, and others want the upper fullness and roundness that can only be achieved with an implant.
The results from a breast lift can be very long-lasting, and wearing a supportive bra can certainly help maintain your postoperative outcome. Unfortunately, as the saying goes, nothing lasts forever and gravity and life events like pregnancy and weight fluctuation can cause lifted breasts to become saggy again. The good news is that breasts can be re-lifted if needed!
During surgery, I use specific plastic surgery techniques to give you the best scar possible. We have you start scar massage and apply scar gel a few weeks after surgery after the incisions have fully healed. Some scars are different than others due to genetics, and if your scars continue to have some redness, we have a laser in the office that can be used to improve their appearance. If needed, a simple in-office steroid injection into the scar will help scars become flat and pale.
Yes! An important part of the lift is reducing the size of the areola so that is proportional the breast. This is why a scar is necessary around the areola: it not only lets the nipple be lifted up but also the areola smaller.
Asymmetry is very common and can be subtle or more obvious. A lift can definitely help improve symmetry, but sometimes an implant or reduction is needed to give you the best result. This will be a great thing to discuss during your consult!
