Breast Lift

Breasts can lose their natural elasticity due to weight gain or loss, aging, nursing and pregnancy. Over time, breasts will start to sag and hang. This can make you look older than you are, and restoring your bust line to its youthful state can help you gain back your natural curves.

During this procedure, the excess skin and tissue that causes the hanging is taken off and the bustline is tightened and lifting. This procedure can also change the size of the areola. The remainder of the tissue and the nipples can be readjusted to provide the most natural looking breasts. The risks associated with this procedure include some bruising (temporary), swelling and loss of sensation in the breasts and nipples. Regardless, this is a very safe and effective procedure. It can take more than two hours to complete and is usually done alongside a breast augmentation to increase the firmness and size of the breasts. Dr. Gonzalez is able to trim excess skin, reposition the nipple and reshape the breast so that you can gain a youthful shape. This is usually an outpatient procedure done under general anesthesia, but mastopexy can result in temporary swelling, as well as numbness, and bruising so patients are usually able to return to their normal routine after one week.
