Frequently Asked Questions
Am I a good candidate for breast lift surgery?
If you have lost shape and volume in your breasts and are in good health, you may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery. Individuals who have elongated breasts, downward pointed nipples, enlarged areolas and/or stretched skin may also benefit from breast lift surgery.
What kind of scars can I expect from breast lift surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, scarring can be expected. However, Dr. Elliott uses the most advanced techniques and progressive suturing to minimize breast surgery scarring. Post-operative scar treatment care is also important in healing and fading scars over time.
Will a breast lift change the size of my breasts?
Breast lift surgery will not change the size of your breasts. Breast lift surgery can, however, make breasts appear more firm and lifted. A breast lift can also adjust the position of the areolas and nipples.
