Understanding Breast Lift Surgery
A breast lift is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts to create a more youthful, uplifted appearance. By removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue, the breasts are positioned higher on the chest, and the nipples are often adjusted for a natural look. This procedure is ideal for women experiencing changes due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations, and can significantly enhance both confidence and physical comfort.

What To Expect During Breast Lift
Anesthesia and Preparation
Your breast lift procedure begins with the administration of anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout surgery. The medical team will cleanse and prepare the surgical area before Dr. Lissa Bootstaylor carefully marks incision sites based on your personalized surgical plan. This preparation stage is essential for both safety and achieving your desired results.
Incision and Reshaping
Dr. Bootstaylor makes precise incisions following the predetermined patterns, typically around the areola and possibly extending downward. Excess skin is removed and underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to improve contour and firmness. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned for a more youthful, natural appearance.
Closing Incisions
Once the desired breast shape is achieved, Dr. Bootstaylor carefully closes the incisions with sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape. Special techniques are used to minimize scarring and support optimal healing. Dressings or bandages are then applied to protect your breasts as the recovery process begins.
Recovery and Aftercare
After the procedure, you’ll be monitored in a recovery area while the anesthesia wears off, and your comfort is closely managed. Detailed aftercare instructions will be provided, including guidance on activity restrictions and follow-up appointments. Most patients return home the same day, ready to begin the healing process under Dr. Bootstaylor’s care.
