What is a Breast Lift?

When under the care of Dr. Cohen, your surgical plan will be crafted just for you. The procedure includes removing excess skin, tightening and reshaping the breast mound, and moving the nipple to be centered on the newly resculpted breast mound. The result is breasts that are lifted, plump, and youthful. Over time, breasts lose their plump firmness and elasticity. 

Age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes can stretch the skin and ligaments supporting the breasts, changing their position and leaving them lower on the chest wall. Many women see their breasts losing their youthful shape or volume. These are all natural changes you will likely experience at some point. If you would like to regain the lift, shape, and appearance of youthful breasts, a breast lift can be the answer.

Preparing for a Breast Lift in Denver

Before your breast lift, you will have an in-depth consultation with Dr. Cohen to determine whether a breast lift is right for you. Dr. Cohen will discuss your medical history and your expectations and goals. He will also speak with you about the procedure and recovery, so you are fully informed and know what to expect.

A breast lift is an outpatient procedure in most cases and takes two to four hours. A breast lift is a highly personalized procedure tailored to your unique anatomy and personal aesthetic goals. Using the best surgical techniques for your needs, Dr. Cohen will remove excess breast skin and reshape and reposition breast tissue. Depending on the details of your breast lift, your incisions will be closed with multiple layers of dissolving sutures, skin adhesives, and surgical tape.

What Is the Recovery Time?

Dr. Cohen will give you detailed instructions on what to do after your breast lift to facilitate the healing process. It is expected to experience some discomfort and swelling, and you will have prescription pain medication to stay comfortable during the early stages. This part of the healing process usually resolves within the first two weeks. Most women can return to gentle daily activities about a week after surgery. Plan to avoid strenuous activities for up to six weeks. You will be able to see changes immediately, and your final results will be visible after a few months.
