Breast Lift Seattle

Breast sagging, whether mild, moderate or severe, can drastically change the appearance of the upper chest and the profile, lowering one’s self-image. Dr. Nadeau's Seattle breast lift procedure works to elevate the breasts to a more youthful and pleasing position, correcting the nipple placement and revitalizing the upper torso. A breast lift is often part of a mommy makeover procedure, or it accompanies the breast augmentation for more comprehensive transformation.

What is a breast lift?

Rather than increasing the size of the breast as a breast augmentation procedure does, the breast lift focuses on improving the angle of the breasts and the nipples, while improving breast symmetry. The two procedures are commonly performed in tandem, but they don’t necessarily have to be. A breast lift may also be included in a mommy makeover, or total transformation for the mom struggling with her physique.

“From the moment I entered the office and spoke with Dr. Nadeau, I was very happy I selected her. She spent time with me and explained all my options. I never felt rushed. After my surgery she called later that night to see how I was doing. Even after the surgery, I am so pleased with all my visits. I never feel rushed and she always takes time to explain what she is doing and what is going on with the healing process.” Patient

There are several different types of breast lifts

Periareolar

Here, a circular incision is made within the darker pigments of the areolar complex. This type of lift is most appropriate for those with minimal breast ptosis.

Lollipop

In this type of lift, an incision is made encircling the nipple and then running down vertically to the breast crease, allowing the surgeon to address more moderate forms of breast ptosis.

Anchor

The anchor lift is ideal for those with more significant breast ptosis. Here, the incision encircles the areola, runs vertically down to the breast crease, and then horizontally across, giving the surgeon the greatest amount of access to reposition the nipples and remove fatty tissue. This type of lift is commonly the choice during a combination breast lift and breast reduction.

Breast lift Before & After

What can I expect from recovery?

After your breast lift in Seattle, you will need to rest for a few days with reduced physical activity. Dr. Nadeau will fit you with compression garments to help reduce your swelling and maintain your new, improved breast shape. You will need to follow Dr. Nadeau’s aftercare plan and attend post-op visits to ensure your recovery is on track.

What is the cost of a breast lift?

The cost of a breast lift will be determined by several factors, including the amount of work required, the degree of breast ptosis, and whether the surgery is performed in tandem with a Seattle breast augmentation or breast reduction. Dr. Nadeau will need to perform a physical evaluation and thorough review of your medical history during your private consultation, at which point she can offer a personalized quote for her services. Our office can assist you with applying for healthcare financing should you require it.
