Data from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons shows that breast lifts are up 70% since 2000. In fact, they are outpacing breast augmentations by 2-1 with over 90,000 breast lift procedures performed in 2013. Breast implant procedures are still the most common cosmetic procedure in women, but breast lifts are quickly catching up. A Baltimore breast lift is a great way to improve the shape and contour of the breasts. They are basically done three different ways:
1. Periareolar – incisions go around the areola only
2. Vertical or lollipop – incisions go around the areola and straight down from the bottom part of the breast
3. Wise or anchor pattern – same as vertical, but with a small horizontal incision in the fold underneath the breast
The amount of sagginess or “ptosis” of the breast determines which type of lift you need. Sometimes, a breast implant can be added to the breast lift to add volume to the breast if desired. The recovery for the breast lift is very easy at about 3-5 days. I allow my patients to shower the next day and resume exercise at 1-2 weeks depending upon the type of lift done and if implants are required.
