Before the procedure

Before the procedure, a thorough consultation occurs between the surgeon and patient. They discuss the desired breast shape, size, and incision type and placement.

During the breast lift

During the procedure, the surgeon administers either general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation to the patient. The surgeon carefully selects the incision location in the breast tissue. Options include around the areola, vertically down from the areola to the breast crease, or horizontally along the breast crease. The choice depends on the patient’s unique needs and desired outcome.
