Breast Lift Beverly Hills
 Actual Patient Not a Model |
Breast lifting is performed under general anesthesia, and lasts from one and a half to four hours. Dr. Ghavami makes every attempt to reduce the locations and size of the incisions to limit unnecessary scar formation. Depending on specific breast characteristics, a patient may qualify for "short scar" techniques.
This will be determined after measurements are taken during the consultation. Dr. Ghavami performs periareolar (donut shaped), vertical scar (lollipop), and full scar (anchor shaped) mastopexy depending on your breast shape and tissue quality. Patients that require special mention are those that have lost massive amounts of weight after lap band or gastric bypass surgery. There are numerous techniques that are designed specifically for breast that undergo the significant deflation that occurs with weight loss. Many require "auto-augmentation" or techniques that swing in your own fatty tissue from adjacent areas to fill and lift the breast.

Sagging or un-firm breast tissue often results from the natural effects of gravity, loss of elasticity through aging or genetic disposition, and weight loss after pregnancy or gastric surgery. The breasts deflate especially in the upper segment. A breast lift procedure, also known as mastopexy, restores a youthful, firm appearance in affected breasts by removing skin, decreasing the size of the areola and reshaping the existing breast tissue. By re-arranging the existing breast tissue, Dr. Ghavami can restore your breasts to a fuller and firmer look. Many women undergo breast lifts in Beverly Hills with Dr. Ashkan Ghavami, a surgeon who has built a respectable reputation based on the breadth of his successful plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Ghavami always strives to limit scarring and performs minimal scar breast lifts. The incision types vary for breast lifts and often depends on how much excess skin and breast tissue needs to be lifted. You may be a candidate for a “donut” (Benelli-type), “lollipop” (vertical), or “anchor shaped” (WISE pattern) breast lift incision technique.
Special attention is given to each patient who undergoes a breast lift in Beverly Hills with Dr. Ghavami. Depending on the nature of the breast and extent of sagging, Dr. Ghavami will employ different techniques that best suit each case. Periareolar (donut shaped), vertical scar (lollipop), and full scar (anchor shaped) breast lift methods are used, and all involve a different incision size and location. For qualified patients, the periareolar technique is utilized, and scarring is minimized since incisions are limited to the edges of the areola. Vertical type incisions are very appealing for women because the vertical incision most often blends with your natural skin tone so it is not very apparent in the future. It is important not to focus on the incision types as much, because improving breast shape is the primary goal. Dr. Ghavami will use all the techniques available to limit your scars and every patient goes through a three month scar management program designed by Dr. Ghavami just for you!
