Breast Lifts are performed to raise a breast that has become droopy or has saggy skin. This usually occurs after pregnancy and nursing, but can occur as a simple cause of nature. A breast lift procedure tightens the saggy tissue and raises the nipple back up into a more aesthetic position. The nipple and areola tissue have an incision made around then and continued straight down from the breast at the 6 o'clock position. The nipple is left on what is called a pedicle. This pedicle is the tissue attachment that maintains the nerve and blood supply to the nipple and areola. A curved incision is made into the tissue above the areola to make room to move the nipple into it's new position. The surgery results in a repositioning of the nipple, while leaving it attached to it's blood and nerve supply . As a result of repositioning, the nipple may lose sensation, and occasional scar tissue formation can effect the blood supply, resulting in a shrunken nipple. Additionally, some patients report an overly sensitive nipple. Sometimes breast feeding may not be possible after this surgery.
