If you have ever stood in front of a mirror and wished that your breasts were firmer, higher and more youthful-looking, breast lift surgery may be a good option for you. A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure by restoring the lift and shape that is often lost as gravity takes its toll. In breast lift surgery, also called mastopexy, the breasts are raised, the nipples are repositioned and the areolas (the dark skin around the nipples) may be reduced in size. If you have lost breast volume over the years and you want to add more fullness, implants may be inserted during breast lift surgery to increase breast size. Dr. Duquette performs this surgery in an outpatient setting although you remain at the Outpatient Center overnight (23 hours) where you receive care through the night by a Registered Nurse.

Most people experience temporary discomfort, swelling, bruising, and a change in nipple sensation. You may return to work 1-2 weeks depending on how well you heal. You may return to normal physical activities in 4-6 weeks.
