Breast lifts can be performed with breast augmentation. Breast lifts can be of 4 varieties: Nipple areolar lift (or crescent lift) This simple lift doesn't really lift the breast per se, but only tilts up the nipple and areolar. This corrects only mild forms of droop to allow the nipple-areolar complex to sit in a better position on top of the breast mound Concentric mastopexy, also known as a Benelli mastopexy, to reduce or reposition the areola and nipples. It is possible to have breasts that are too small but nipples that are proportionally too large or 'Snoopy' nipples that face downward. The Benelli corrects this. First, the surgeon makes one inner and one outer concentric circular incision around the areola similar to the outline of a doughnut. After removing this excess circle of skin, he secures the nipple and areola in their desired position and location, and sutures around the areola to finish. Dr Haworth leaves a double permanent suture below the skin to prevent re-widening of the areola and loss of the lift after surgery. Vertical, "lollypop" or LeJour lift. Here, the breast is elevated quite significantly via a around the areolar circumference with a vertical extension emanating from it at the 6 o'clock position. This is the most popular breast lift performed by Dr Haworth since it gives the best lift with a fairly minimized scar. Traditional anchor scar lift. This is the classic lift that still represents the "gold standard" in terms of its power to shape and lift the breast. However, accompanying this choice is the most amount of potential scarring in the form of an "upside-down T" or anchor scar. Dr Haworth will use this technique for severe degrees of breast droop.

Breast Augmentation Enhances Your Body Contour Breast enlargement, or augmentation mammoplasty, enhances the body contour of a woman who is unhappy with her breast size. This procedure can also correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy or weight reduction or balance a difference in breast size. In certain cases where the breasts have sagging or droopiness, a simultaneous breast lift may be necessary. Tallahassee plastic surgery physicians at Southeastern Plastic Surgery offer breast enlargement consultations if you are dissatisfied with your breast size. During the procedure, an implant is inserted through an incision made under the crease under the breast, around the areola (dark tissue around the nipple), or through the armpit. The implant may be placed under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. Women may choose to have saline or silicone implants. Breast augmentation or breast enlargement is an outpatient procedure which is conveniently performed in our Tallahassee plastic surgery clinic’s onsite licensed surgery center. Breast augmentation surgery can take 1-1.5 hours. Stitches absorb on their own but the incisions are usually covered with tape for 1-2 weeks. Most patients return to routine activity within the first week but aerobic activity and strenuous upper body activity are limited for 3-4 weeks.

One of the most common procedures performed by plastic surgeons, breast augmentation is an out patient procedure that can increase the size of your breast as well as provide some degree of lift to the nipple.
