Comfort and Confidence
Breast lift and breast reduction are two popular procedures that can help women achieve a more comfortable, proportionate, and balanced physique.
Women who experience sagging breast tissue as a result of aging, pregnancy, or weight loss may wish to pursue a breast lift in order to revive more youthful contours. For others, breast reduction offers a path to addressing discomfort and challenges posed by excessively large breasts. For some women, a combination of the two procedures can offer excellent results, letting you sculpt your ideal breasts and reclaim better confidence. Dr. Brower works closely with each patient to help them understand their options and plan a procedure completely tailored to their individual needs and goals.
The Perfect Balance
Breast lift and breast reduction are transformative surgical procedures designed to address various concerns related to breast size, shape, and positioning.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy): This procedure elevates and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. It's ideal for women experiencing sagging or drooping breasts due to factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging. A breast lift can also help add volume to the upper pole of the breast or achieve a rounder breast shape. In some cases, a breast lift is combined with a breast augmentation.
Breast Reduction: Breast reduction surgery aims to reduce the size and weight of overly large breasts, providing relief from associated discomfort, improving posture, and enhancing the breast’s appearance.
Harmonious Contours
Breast lift and breast reduction can not only enhance confidence by providing a more youthful and balanced breast appearance but can also greatly improve physical comfort.
With Breast Reduction Providence patients can find relief from back, neck, and shoulder pain, skin irritation, and other issues often associated with large breasts. A breast lift enhances the shape and position of the breasts for more youthful, appealing contours. These procedures also contribute to improved proportions, helping you achieve a harmonious body contour by reducing or lifting your breasts to better suit your frame. Moreover, undergoing a breast lift or reduction broadens your clothing options, allowing you to confidently wear styles that may once have felt uncomfortable or unflattering. The results can have a positive impact on body image, fostering a greater sense of comfort and confidence in your own skin.

Rest and Healing: Give your body the time it needs to heal and recover. Most patients can return to work within a week or two. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting will need to be avoided for six weeks to allow your body to heal optimally.
Follow Post-Operative Instructions: Dr. Brower will provide specific guidelines on caring for your incisions, wearing supportive garments, and managing any discomfort.
Scarring: While incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring, they will gradually fade over time.
Long-Term Satisfaction: Enjoy your newfound confidence and comfort as you embrace the long-term benefits of breast lift or breast reduction surgery.
Long-Lasting Results
Results from a breast lift or breast reduction typically become noticeable within a few weeks after the surgery, once initial swelling subsides and the breasts adjust to their new position. Full and final results may take a few months to manifest as the body continues to heal and the tissues settle into their new shape. These results are long-lasting, with the improvements in breast shape, size, and comfort remaining significant and generally enduring for many years. While the aging process continues, maintaining a stable weight and adhering to a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the longevity of the results, allowing patients to enjoy the benefits of a breast lift and breast reduction for a substantial period.
