During your consultation, you discuss your goals, health history, and current breast shape. Dr. Elluru examines skin elasticity and breast position before explaining whether you need a breast lift alone or a combined procedure to create the result you want.
During surgery, Dr. Elluru removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue to move the contour higher. He also repositions the nipples when necessary, so the breasts appear more proportional and supported.
Recovery begins with rest and limited activity while swelling improves. Patients receive instructions covering incision care, supportive garments, and follow-up appointments, so they feel informed throughout the healing process.
A breast lift changes breast position and shape rather than increasing volume. Some patients notice the breasts appear slightly fuller after surgery, but only because the tissue sits higher on the chest.
If you want additional fullness, Dr. Elluru may discuss combining your lift with implants for breast augmentation.
You may benefit from a breast lift if you have concerns about your breast appearance, your nipples sit lower than they used to, or if your breasts appear deflated after pregnancy, aging, or changes in weight.
All breast lift procedures require incisions, so they do leave some scarring. However, Dr. Elluru places incisions carefully so they look less noticeable as you heal.
