UNDERSTANDING THE BREAST LIFT PROCEDURE

Women seeking a breast lift may desire to regain youthful height and
fullness without changing their breast size. The procedure is designed
to raise breast height, remove excess skin, and reshape the breast to
a more youthful contour. Sagging breasts can result from various
factors including pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations,
aging, and genetic predisposition.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BREAST LIFT

Candidates for a breast lift typically exhibit the following
characteristics:

 	* Breasts with a flatter, elongated, or pendulous shape
	* Nipples pointing downward or falling below the breast crease
	* Stretched skin or areola
	* Asymmetrical breast positioning

SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Kim performs breast lift surgery as an outpatient procedure
lasting 1.5 to 2.5 hours under IV-sedation or light general
anesthesia. The technique involves three potential incision patterns:

 	* Periareolar: Incision around the nipple
	* Keyhole: Periareolar and vertical incision below the nipple
	* Anchor: Incision around areola, vertically to breast crease, and
horizontally in breast fold

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

During the procedure, underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped
to improve contour and firmness. The nipple and areola are
repositioned to a more youthful height, and stretched areolas are
reduced. Dr. Kim confirms breast symmetry during surgery to ensure a
natural result.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-operative recovery involves wearing surgical dressings for one
week and a supportive surgical or sports bra for six weeks. Patients
typically return to work within a week and can resume lower body
exercise at two weeks, with full activity permitted after six weeks.

OPTIONAL AUGMENTATION

Patients seeking additional volume can combine a breast lift with
augmentation using saline or silicone implants. Dr. Kim provides
comprehensive consultations to help patients select the most
appropriate implant type for their aesthetic goals.
