Confidence Restored with a Breast Lift
Many women find themselves looking in the mirror, longing for the perkier, more contoured breasts of their youth. Over time, the skin loses its natural elasticity, and this, along with gravity, causes sagging of the breasts. Other factors, such as pregnancy, nursing, and large weight fluctuations, result in the breasts losing their shape and firmness. Despite all of that, patients don’t have to settle for a less-than-ideal appearance. A breast lift in Atlanta at Northside Plastic Surgery can restore the breasts to a more youthful, refined position.
Who is a candidate for a breast lift in Atlanta?
Women of all ages who are dealing with drooping breasts can benefit from a breast lift in Atlanta. During their private consultation with Dr. Klein, patients are able to ask all of the relevant questions and get a definitive answer as to whether this procedure is right for them. Generally speaking, the following guidelines are a good metric for determining candidacy:
- Being in good physical and psychological health
- Being free from any pre-existing medical conditions that could affect the treatment
- Being a non-smoker
- Having realistic expectations for the results of the procedure
What does the breast lift procedure entail?
At Northside Plastic Surgery, breast lift procedures are performed on an outpatient basis. The treatment is typically completed in two to three hours, and patients are put under general anesthesia to ensure comfort. If only a small amount of skin needs to be removed, the procedure can be carried out with a local anesthetic and a sedative.
Some patients opt to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. This can also increase firmness. Alternatively, fat can be used instead of an implant to add additional volume. A combination breast lift-breast augmentation procedure has become increasingly popular among women in the Greater Atlanta area who are experiencing a loss of volume and sagging in the breasts due to childbearing and breastfeeding.
Before every breast lift procedure, a location for the incisions must be agreed upon by the physician and the patient. These incisions are usually made in one of three places:
- Around the areola
- Around the areola and downward
- Around the areola, downward, and along the fold beneath the breast
Regardless of where the incision is made, we are able to redefine the contours and firmness of the breasts by repositioning the lower-level tissue and removing excess skin.

What is the cost of a breast lift in Atlanta?
As with all the other details of this procedure, the cost of a breast lift in Atlanta will be discussed in detail during the personal consultation. The costs are variable, as they depend on the type of procedure performed, the complexity, and whether or not a breast augmentation or breast reduction will be included as well. Our office provides patients with a myriad of financing options that fit their needs.
Is there scarring after a breast lift?
The truth is that all types of surgery come with some degree of scarring. There is no such thing as scar-free surgery.
Nonetheless, minimizing the appearance of these scars is of the utmost importance to us. The purpose of this procedure is to make the breasts more aesthetically appealing, and heavy, noticeable scarring defeats that point. While most scars will heal and fade within a few years, we take every measure to keep them as discreet as possible.
