The procedure does not add volume to the breasts; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/breast-augmentation\/\">breast augmentation<\/a> surgery is needed for that.<\/p>\n<h2>Who is an Ideal Candidate for a Breast Lift?<\/h2>\n<p>You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if you are in good overall health, do not smoke, and have saggy or asymmetrical breasts. You can undergo breast lift surgery anytime after your breasts have fully developed. During your consultation with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/gary-price-md\/\">Dr. Price<\/a>, you will be evaluated to decide if you are a good candidate for this procedure or if you need another type of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/breast-procedures\/\">breast surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How Should I Prepare for a Breast Lift Procedure?<img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1577 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/iStock-1204001706-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait Of Laughing Multi-Cultural Medical Team Standing In Hospital Corridor\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/iStock-1204001706-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/iStock-1204001706-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/iStock-1204001706-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/iStock-1204001706-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.drgaryprice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/iStock-1204001706-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/h2>\n<p>Dr. Price will provide you with instructions on how to prepare for your surgery.

During surgery, extra skin will be removed and the breast tissue lifted to the proper location. If your breast lift is being performed in conjunction with breast augmentation surgery, implants will be inserted prior to closing and bandaging your breasts. Depending on your new breast shape, your nipples may be relocated.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>What Our Patients Have to Say<\/h3>\n<blockquote><p><em>&#8220;So pleased with everything!
