What Is A Breast Lift?
A breast lift removes excess skin and tightens tissue for a firmer, more youthful look. It's ideal for women who've experienced changes in breast firmness and shape due to breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, or gravity. At Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery in Pensacola, FL, the latest techniques are used to customize the surgery to the specific level of sagging and the desired outcomes, aiming for the best possible results.
What Is the Surgical Technique?
A breast lift typically takes two hours or more, depending on the complexity of the breast sag, and is usually performed under general anesthesia. The surgery involves one of two common incision techniques: the anchor technique (inverted-T) or vertical incisions. During the procedure, excess skin, fat, and tissue are removed. The remaining skin is tightened, and the breasts are repositioned to appear higher, younger, and healthier. Often, the areola size is also reduced to better fit the new breast shape. If discussed beforehand, implants or a fat transfer may be added to enhance volume. If only a lift is performed and additional fullness is desired, augmentation with implants can be planned for a later date.
What Are the Benefits of A Breast Lift?
A breast lift is personalized to your specific needs and goals and has multiple aesthetic and functional benefits, including:
- Lifting the breasts for a younger, perkier look
- Reducing sagging and drooping
- Improving the fullness, form, and overall aesthetics of the breasts
- Correcting breast asymmetry (one breast is different than the other)
- Enhancing breast firmness
- Reducing irritation under the breasts
- Resizing and reshaping the areolas
Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery Reviews
Now that I'm 7.5 weeks post op I feel ready to share my review. I underwent a mastopexy and breast augmentation with Dr. Butler on 11/15/23! From day one (consultation) to Friday (6 week post op check) every single encounter has been wonderful. Dr. Butler and the office staff have gone above and beyond for me. He was knowledgeable and gave a very thorough explanation of the process. I had the surgery at North Florida surgery center in Pensacola. Everything went so smoothly, and the nurses/anesthesiologists were great. Recovery was smooth, one small hiccup that was addressed immediately and resolved! I'm very very very happy with my decision to use GCPS for my surgery. It was definitely the confidence boost I needed. If you're in the market, these guys are great!!!
Dr. Patterson did an implant exchange and breast lift. I am beyond happy with my results. Dr. Patterson took his time in explaining all the options and details of the surgery during my consultation. I left my consultation feeling completely confident in my decision choosing him and in his skills and abilities as a plastic surgeon. The staff is exceptional. From the ladies at the front desk to the nurses assisting Dr. Patterson, everyone was kind, professional and very helpful with any questions I had. I would 100% recommend Dr. Patterson and Gulf Coast Plastic Surgery.
Such a wonderful experience! Dr.Leveque is truly an artist. She removed the implants I’d hated and gave me a breast lift. I’m back to normal and feel like myself again. I’m back to my favorite clothes I’d almost given up on! She listened to my thoughts and questions and reassured me with answers to everything. I have no doubt that there are others that are cheaper but when it comes to my body there is only one choice and that is Dr. Leveque. You get what you pay for and I got the best! Don’t ever settle for less than that with your body. I NEVER WORRIED about her doing the surgery because of her years of experience and skills/training. Her staff is amazing with a shout out to Amanda. She is kind and funny and made me feel I was beautiful again! You’re the best! I highly recommend this team for your breast health and appearance transformations. Perfect! Thank you so much for the return of my self confidence!❤️❤️❤️
Dr. Patterson and his staff are AMAZING. After having a baby and breastfeeding my breast were not the way I wanted them to look. He spent an hour with me for my initial consult going over every possible question and concern I had - I booked my surgery that day. Ended up going with a breast augmentation and breast lift. Pre-op, surgery day and post-op appointments were all seamless. I never once felt uncomfortable or worried about the decision I made. I am so happy with the results. It’s the best thing I ever did for myself. Could not recommend Dr. Patterson and his staff enough. Do it!!
I am 7 weeks post op from an abdominoplasty and mastopexy performed by Dr. Patterson and his great surgical team. I cant say enough positive things from my initial consult to the post op care received weeks after the surgery. One important thing that Dr. Patterson shared with me in my consultation was the importance of allowing myself to heal. I knew this would be the most difficult part, but i listened to his advice and i am pleased with how my body has healed. I knew going in to the surgery that i would miss a lot of fun summer gatherings ( including pool parties and beach events) but i know i would not be experiencing the excellent results if i didnt listen to his advice. A great surgeon not only does beautiful work but also sets clear expectations for your recovery period. Thank you to Dr. Patterson and his compassionate team.
