Breast Lift with Upper Body Lift

A breast lift with upper body lift is a combination breast enhancement and body contouring procedure for comprehensive results across your entire upper torso. You can correct embarrassing, saggy skin at every angle, from your nipples to your shoulder blades. 

Procedure

Massive weight loss commonly results in breast ptosis or droop, with loss of projection, and a blending of the outer breast into a bra roll that often continues into back rolls.  These circumferential changes are most completely addressed with surgery of both the breasts and back.

Depending on a patient’s desires for her breasts, there are several surgical options.

For those who want an improvement in breast shape can have a breast lift (mastopexy) or reduction. For many, this is all they desire, but need to understand the implications of not addressing the circumferential excess.

For those who also would like volume enhancement might choose to combine this lift with a breast augmentation. This can be done with implants or, if there is circumferential excess associated with sufficient volume, then they might choose an auto-augmentation, or augmentation using her own tissues.

For those who would like the most complete rejuvenation, a completion upper body lift can be performed.  This involves removing the extra tissue from the back.  This tissue can be discarded or repurposed and used to add volume and reshape the breast.
