A breast lift is a trending surgical procedure designed to correct sagging breasts. While breast augmentation adds volume and increases the size of the breast via implants or fat grafts, the breast lift strives to lift sagging breasts. Generally, the breast lift involves surgically removing excess skin and breast tissue and reducing the areola. Most breast lifts begin with the surgeon making an incision around the nipple. They then extend the incision down into the underside of the breast. The areola is also reduced by removing areolar tissue. The specific technique will vary according to the procedure requested and what your surgeon thinks is best in your particular case.
The scarless breast lift is made possible by new surgical technology: Radio Frequency Assisted Lipolysis. This is a type of liposuction that uses a specialized cannula to heat fat, melt it, and extract it while radiating collagen in the skin to tighten it. This tightening of the skin allows the surgeon to lift the breast without the need for regular incisions.

This procedure has many benefits. It is safer than a regular breast lift. This is because the surgeon will not be making long incisions. Second, because the procedure is minimally invasive, no general anesthesia is used, and thus it reduces the risk of anesthetic-related complications. Third, the scarless procedure, as the name implies, leaves behind the most minimal of scars. Fourth, recovery is faster and less problematic. And last, you can see the results of your procedure within days.
Who can get it?
The scarless breast lift, however, is designed to be effective against moderate to minimal sagging. Your surgeon may employ different surgical techniques if the sagging in the breasts is more significant or if you are seeking to combine a lift procedure with a breast augmentation. It is meant as a way to avoid having a more complex surgery that leaves somewhat visible scars.
Nevertheless, you will be a great candidate if you are dissatisfied with your breasts and want to restore their shape, especially if you're coming out of a pregnancy or dramatic weight loss. The procedure can help correct the sagging or stretching caused by these changes. You will also be a great candidate if you want to give your breasts more shape or contour. The procedure will be excellent for women who want to keep the size of their breasts while elevating them. The procedure may also correct breast asymmetry.
What to expect?
Your surgeon will begin by administering a local anesthetic. They will then make a small incision of about 1 to 2 millimeters in length, which will serve as the cannula's point of insertion. The incision will be small enough that you can expect the incision to fade with time as you recover. The recovery process of a scarless breast lift is much gentler than that of a regular lift.
You will experience bruising and swelling for a few days, but there are fewer chances for infections or complications to occur because there are no long incisions and sutures. You should expect your surgeon to prescribe pain medication. Similarly, you should expect your surgeon to provide you with guidance regarding the best ways to recover. They might, for example, instruct you to wear athletic tape to keep your breasts in a lifted position to ensure tissue shrinkage.
At all points, the best thing to do is to keep in touch with your surgeon. Our surgeons at Avana Plastic Surgery are board-certified experts. Get in touch with them at a consultation so that they can review your goals and let you know what the best procedure for you will be.
What is the Cost?
The average cost of a typical breast lift is $5012, according to the ASPS. Though the price generally varies depending on your surgeon's expertise, the geographic location of your chosen surgery center, medical test, anesthesia fees, and so on, breast lifts at Avana Plastic Surgery range from $3,000 to $6,000. However, since the scarless breast lift in Miami is a procedure that uses more advanced technology, it's always best to ask if additional fees are applied.
