How is a Breast Lift Performed?

Dr. Stile will use one of several incision types to perform your breast lift. The incision usually circles the areola and runs down and under the breast. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes a few hours. After he is certain your breasts look symmetrical and suit your body shape, he will close the incisions. You can return home after a short recovery, but you will need someone to drive you. 

Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation 

If you want to correct sagging or drooping breasts without changing their volume, a breast lift can help you achieve this goal. If you want larger breasts or more breast volume, you may want a breast augmentation. This procedure uses implants to change your breast size and shape. If you have lost breast volume and developed sagging, Dr. Stile may recommend a breast lift with breast augmentation. 

How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost?

The price of a breast lift varies widely between surgeons. Your location will also determine the price range. On average, a breast lift costs about $4800. This will not include other fees and expenses, including anesthesia and post-surgical supplies. A consultation allows a more accurate discussion of cost estimates.
