Breast Lift Metairie, LA | New Orleans Plastic Surgery with Michelle Manning Eagan MD

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is a cosmetic treatment designed to raise and reshape breasts by reducing loose skin and tightening healthy tissue. This body reshaping surgery helps women experiencing volume loss or sagging breasts due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Dr. Michelle Eagan utilizes advanced techniques to create personalized surgical approaches tailored to each patient's skin laxity and aesthetic goals.

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

• Reduced breast sagginess
• Improved breast shape and size
• Elevated nipple positioning
• More proportionate breast contours
• Enhanced self-confidence
• Improved clothing fit and comfort

Are You a Candidate for a Breast Lift?

Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery include patients with downward-pointing nipples, excess skin, and breast sagging. Dr. Eagan recommends patients be in good overall health and maintain a stable weight. During a consultation, she will determine whether a breast lift alone or in combination with augmentation will best achieve your aesthetic objectives.

Breast Lift Surgical Procedure

Breast lift surgery typically takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Eagan employs two primary incision techniques: the anchor (inverted-T) and vertical approaches. During the procedure, excess skin and tissue are removed, remaining tissue is tightened, and breasts are repositioned to create a more youthful appearance.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a medical compression garment and managing initial swelling. Patients can expect gradual improvement in breast shape over several months. Dr. Eagan provides comprehensive post-operative instructions to support optimal healing and results.
