Breast Lift

In a breast lift the aim is to retain all the existing breast tissue and reshape it to produce a more youthful and perky breast, typically without using a breast implant. A breast lift also involves restoring the nipple to a more youthful position while removing the excess skin. The breast appears larger even though a breast implant is not used because the breast tissue that was spread over a greater area has been reshaped into a more conical shape. Women seeking this procedure are usually unhappy with the saggy appearance of the breast and/or the low position of the nipples. Women suitable for a breast lift without implant either are happy with their existing size or have enough breast tissue that reshaping alone is sufficient to produce the desired breast size as well as shape. Dr Stradwick keeps the scar as short as possible by using the vertical technique that leaves a lollypop scar - avoiding the long scar beneath the breast that is common to the older techniques of breast lifting.
