Aging, pregnancy, and weight loss can all affect the shape of the breast.  With time, the breast can become longer and sag, with the fullness at the top gradually decreasing.  Women who wish to restore a more full and rounded look to the breast are candidates for a breast lift or reduction.

In the past, women who wished to improve their breast shape were left with few options other than the traditional “anchor” shaped scar.  Dr. LoMonaco performs all of his breast lifts using a much shorter “lollipop” shaped scar.  Not only does this reduce the overall amount of scarring, but the short-scar technique results in a much more natural and full breast shape.

Individuals who have lost a large amount of weight may also develop sagging of the breasts. In these patients, the same short scar technique  is employed to reduce the amount of excess skin and restore a more uplifted and a natural appearing breast.  An implant may be used to provide more fullness if desired.

Other patients may be concerned the size of their breasts. Large, heavy breasts can cause neck, back, and shoulder problems. They also interfere with the fit of clothing or  may be a source of embarrassment. The short-scar breast lift procedure may be modified to include removal of a significant amount of breast tissue. Many times, the more extensive scars usually needed for a breast reduction can be minimized.

For patients who desire an improved breast shape or smaller more youthful size, mastopexy and breast reduction can be excellent choices.
