As we age, it's sagging of the skin on various parts of the bod is normal due to weight fluctuations and the reduced elasticity of the skin and underlying muscles. For women, especially those who have had children, sagging breasts are a common issue. The double board certified plastic surgeons at Sunset Cosmetic Surgery perform a variety of breast lift procedures (jump to photos) to give a perkier, more youthful shape to the breasts, and can also re-size or re-shape nipples when needed.

Different techniques are used for breast lifts, depending on the goals and lifestyle of each patient, and the degree of ptosis (sagging). Implants may be used to add additional fullness, based on patient preference. Breast lifts generally fall into 4 categories:

• Crescent Breast Lift (periareolar) - the least-invasive method, a crescent breast lift is used for mild sagging and a semi-circle incision on the top or bottom part of the areola is used to reposition the nipple.
  
  
• Binelli Breast Lift (donut, circumareolar) - a donut shape piece of tissue is removed in a Benelli lift using an incision all the way around the areola. View only Binelli breast lift photos.
  
  
• Lollypop Breast Lift (vertical) - for moderate to severe sagging, in this technique the incision goes around the areola and then straight down to the crease below the breast.
  
  
• Anchor Breast Lift (t-scar, full mastopexy) - the oldest and most reliable technique for severe sagging involves an incision around the areola, striaght down to the crease, and extends along the crease below the breast.

Typical Recovery Time After a Breast Lift
After breast lift surgery, and depending on their lift technique and job type, some patients are able to return to work within a week or so. In many cases, breast lift Los Angeles patients resume most of their normal activities, including some form of mild exercise, after several weeks. Your surgeon will advise you on the timing for your case.

A breast lift is recommended for patients experiencing a change in shape or lack of firmness of their breasts due to skin inelasticity, gravity and other factors such as weight loss, pregnancy and breast-feeding. Breast lift Los Angeles patients who are satisfied with the size of their breasts can get a breast lift to raise them and make them more firm, resulting in a more youthful breast contour. If a Los Angeles breast lift patient has lost a significant amount of breast volume over time, implants can be used in conjunction with a breast lift procedure to add fullness, while enhancing the shape and position of the breasts at the same time.
