What will happen during breast lift surgery?

Depending on the technique being used for your breast lift, your surgeon might make incisions horizontally along the breast creases, around your areola, or from your areola vertically down to your breast fold. If you are getting implants, they will be inserted. Your surgeon will remove the extra breast skin and move the nipples and areola to a higher position. If necessary, the size of your areola will be reduced by removing skin at the perimeter. Stitches are placed deep within your breast to support the lifted breast. Then your surgeon will close the incisions with sutures, skin adhesives, and/or surgical tape.
