Breast Lift
in Novi, Michigan


What Is a Breast Lift?
Types of Breast Lifts
The lollipop lift involves making an incision around the areola and a second incision that extends vertically down the breast. This technique is best suited for women with moderate sagging, as it allows for a lift and reshaping of the breast while minimizing the scarring.

Who Is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?
Good candidates for a breast lift are generally healthy women unhappy with the appearance of their sagging or drooping breasts. Sagging breasts can occur due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, or genetics.
- Breasts that have lost their shape and volume
- Nipples that point downward or below the breast crease
- Areolas that have stretched out of proportion to the breasts
- Breasts that are asymmetrical or unevenly shaped
- Skin that has lost elasticity causes the breasts to sag or droop.
Breast Lift Recovery
The recovery period is an important time for the body to heal and adjust to the changes made during the procedure. The recovery process can vary from person to person, but generally, it takes several weeks to recover fully.
You may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising around the breasts, which can be managed with pain medication. You will need to wear a surgical bra for several weeks to help support your breasts as they heal. You should avoid strenuous activity, lifting heavy objects, and exercise for at least six weeks following the procedure.
Tips for a smooth recovery include staying hydrated, eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of rest, and avoiding smoking and alcohol. Our plastic surgeon, Dr. Lakin, will provide crucial post-operative care instructions for a smooth and successful recovery.
