Regain Your Confidence With A Breast Lift

Posted on by Ali Loreen, MD in

Wouldn’t you love to have the body you had at age 30? Unfortunately, mother nature and time are not our friend, and certain things begin to sag. Luckily today there are many ways to turn back the clock, so even when gravity takes over, it’s possible to regain your confidence with a breast lift.

What’s Different About A Breast Lift? 

Pregnancy, nursing, weight loss, and the ravages of time all combine to cause sagging, droopy, and may we say, deflated breasts. Those once perky and full breasts are now a thing of the past.

A breast lift can restore your breasts to their upright position, and you don’t have to spend days in the hospital to get the look you want. Most breast lifts are performed on an outpatient basis. During the procedure you will receive local anesthesia with sedation, or if it is a more complicated procedure, general anesthesia.

Your breasts will be lifted, repositioned, and all excess skin will be removed along with tightening the surrounding tissue. In many cases the nipple and areola will be moved to make the final presentation more natural looking.

It is possible to combine your breast lift with other enhancing procedures like implants or a breast reduction. Loreen Ali , MD will advise you whether these additional fixes will improve the final results.

What Will A Breast Lift Do For You? 

Besides lifting your breasts, a breast lift will also lift your spirits and self-esteem. Some other benefits after a breast lift surgery include the following:

Low sitting breasts can irritate the skin under them causing chafing and redness. After a breast lift there will be separation between your skin and your breasts.

You will look and feel better in all your clothes. The youthful figure you once had will be reimagined, and new form fitting clothing will become your new passion. In addition, you could even go braless again if you desire.

You will look taller, feel sexy, and regain your confidence with a breast lift. This will be the new you.
Your breasts will look rounder, more youthful, and you will regain the cleavage you once had. Now head to the beach with confidence!

If all of this sounds appealing, contact board certified plastic surgeon, Loreen Ali , MD  at (978) 942-4835 and discover what a breast lift can do for you.

Do I Need A Breast Lift Or A Breast Reduction?

Posted on by Ali Loreen, MD in ,

The answer to the question: do I need a breast lift or a breast reduction depends on many factors and is not so easy to answer. We will guide you through some typical questions and facts about both procedures to help you decide which might be best for you. It all depends on your goals and expectations.

Reasons To Get A Breast Lift 

As women age, their breasts begin to sag and droop. It’s just another of those gravity “things” we despise. Older women can lose volume in their breasts, and the shape may change making them look older than they really are.

You may have lost volume in the upper part of your breasts making you look flat. Maybe your nipples point downward instead of the perky look when you were younger. Your skin may be stretched out from gaining weight, getting older, or from breastfeeding. Or you could be unhappy with the asymmetry of your breasts.

How Can A Breast Lift Help

The goal of a breast lift is to regain a younger looking silhouette. An experienced surgeon like Loreen Ali , MD  will remove excess skin (not breast tissue), reshape your breast tissue, and reposition the nipples to sit higher. The shape of the breasts will be changed making you look somewhat smaller, but your cup size will remain the same.

Reasons To Get A Breast Reduction Surgery

Women who have overly large breasts that cause limits to activity should consider a breast reduction as pendulous breasts can cause painful back and neck issues. In addition, this can lead to poor posture and painful shoulders. Having large breasts can make it difficult to breathe and even sleep. It also causes chronic rashes and irritation both between and under the breasts.

Besides limiting physical activity, it becomes hard to find clothing that fits properly. Women who crave larger breasts have no idea about the issues of those who have them.

The Benefits Of A Breast Reduction

An experienced surgeon will remove excess skin and fatty tissue to give you breasts that are smaller and more proportioned for your frame. You will have a more youthful look and your breasts will remain at the same position on your chest.

Women report feeling more comfortable both physically and with their appearance, but new bras will be needed after recovery!

Which Is Best For You?

Talk with Loreen Ali , MD  about your complaints and your goals before deciding on the right procedure, and discover which of these surgeries provide the best benefits for you.

You can add a lift to a reduction surgery and an implant or augmentation to a lift.

A lift is purely cosmetic and not covered by insurance, but a reduction procedure may be medically necessary and thus covered.

Top 5 Reasons To Consider A Breast Lift

Posted on by Ali Loreen, MD in

Do you look in the mirror and wonder what happened to those perky breasts of yesterday? You keep trying out new bras that promise a youthful look, but they never fit correctly, comfortably, or lift the “girls” to their rightful place. If you have these same issues, here are the top 5 reasons to consider a breast lift.

Mastopexy

A breast lift is not breast augmentation to enlarge the breast. It is to reshape and uplift the breast. A breast lift will improve the shape and firmness of your breast, and you will have a more proportioned figure. During the procedure, excess skin is removed and the nipple is relocated.

You will feel more confident in a bathing suit, be more comfortable in a bra, and feel sexier after a breast lift.

This type of procedure has increased 600% in the last 16 years, and here are just some of the reasons why.

After Weight Loss

You may have finally attained your desired weight, but your breasts have become saggy, limp, and they have less volume. A breast lift can help correct this unwelcome issue.

Aging

Most of us who have reached a certain age become all too familiar with gravity. As we age, our breasts head south, the skin loses its elasticity, and your once beautiful breasts sag.

Increasing Back And Neck Pain

When the breasts become limp and pendulus, this puts excess weight on bra straps causing neck and back pain. You don’t have to have very large breasts for this to be a problem. After a breast lift, the pressure is reduced.

Wanting A “Mommy Makeover”

A breast lift is often recommended after pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding is completed. This will rejuvenate your breasts, but should only be done if you no longer plan to have more children.

To Gain Lost Volume

Many of the issues named above can cause a woman to lose volume, especially in the upper portion of their breasts. A lift will, by its very name,  increase the look of the upper breasts to create a fuller and more pleasing decollete.
