Breast Lift

Pregnancy, weight loss, and the force of gravity can have a significant impact on your breasts. As you age, your youthful breast shape can be affected by volume loss and/or diminished skin elasticity. When this occurs, the breasts begin to sag and lose their firmness.

Fortunately, reshaping the breasts is possible with a lift. The procedure is designed to elevate the breast tissue to a more youthful position. The areola, the pigmented tissue surrounding the nipple, can be reduced in size as well. If you desire more volume, a breast augmentation can be performed in conjunction with a breast lift.

A breast lift can improve your appearance and self-confidence. The best breast lift candidates are La Jolla women with realistic expectations regarding their results. The potential outcome will be discussed during your complimentary consultation.
