Dr. Andrew Ress revolutionized the traditional breast lift when he introduced the innovative Miracle Breast Lift technique in Boca Raton. Throughout his years helping improve the sagging that was caused by the weight of breast tissue over time, he started to recognize some of the most significant challenges and the root causes. Then, Dr. Ress was inspired by the fundamental support structure of a bra. He realized that there might be a way to replicate the support structure that so many women relied on each day to lift their breasts.
That is where he got the inspiration for the Miracle Breast Lift technique. He uses specialized stitches that wrap around your breast tissue, creating internal bra straps that elevate and secure your breasts in a youthful position. This unique approach offered at [liv]® Plastic Surgery keeps your breasts lifted and firm for years to come with the fullness and shape they had in your younger years.
The Miracle Breast Lift can be done as a standalone lift, or Dr. Ress can integrate it into other procedures he offers, including breast augmentation or a mommy makeover. Additionally, this technique does not extend the duration of the surgery. Just like a typical lift, it takes about 3–3.5 hours when combined with augmentation.
The process of a breast lift adjusts the breast’s shape and raises the breasts into a more youthful position on the chest. The breast tissues are tightened around the implants and then secured in place. Combining a breast lift with breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Andrew Ress can enhance and lift breasts in a single surgery.
Simple lift: Lift procedure with added sculpting of breast tissue. Ideal if you are happy with your current breast size but are looking to correct sagging and improve shape.
Augmentation lift: Lift procedure with implant provides additional volume. This is perfect if you want to increase your breast size while addressing droopiness. This is a dual-purpose procedure that gives your breasts a fuller look.
Reduction with lift: Lift procedure with a targeted amount of tissue removed from one or both breasts. This is great for women who have discomfort from breasts that are too large or just want a smaller, more proportionate size along with a lift.
Complete lift: Lift procedure with the sculpting of breast tissue. This is the most comprehensive option, designed for those needing a significant reshape to get the uplifted breast profile they are looking for.
Some factors we need to determine if you are a good candidate for a breast lift in Boca Raton include:
As with any surgery, a breast lift comes with risks, such as:
At [liv]® Plastic Surgery, we prioritize patient safety and will discuss how these risks apply to you so you’re fully informed.
The average woman can expect her breast lift results to last for 10 to 15 years. However, due to the number of factors that affect the longevity of the results, individual results can vary significantly. Your genetics, lifestyle, and changes in your body weight can all play a part in exactly how long your breast lift lasts. If you want to maximize your results, you should focus on maintaining a stable weight and adopting a healthy lifestyle.
After the first breast lift, changes in the breast can occur anywhere from six months to one year. It’s natural for the skin to lose some elasticity over time, which can lead to changes in breast shape and firmness. While the changes are not as significant as the original drooping and sagging of the breasts, in some cases, patients feel a revision surgery is necessary. Regular check-ups with your surgeon can help monitor these changes and determine if additional treatments are needed to maintain your desired look.
You’ll likely feel pain and soreness around the incisions, which will be red or pink for a few months. Numbness in your nipples, areolae, and breast skin might last for about six weeks. In the first few days after a breast lift, take pain medication as recommended by your health care provider. Most patients find the discomfort manageable and notice a significant decrease in pain within the first week or two, with gradual improvement as they heal and adapt to the changes.
The truth is that there is no age cutoff for breast lift surgery. In fact, women in their 50s, 60s, and 70s experience amazing results with breast lift surgery as long as they’re in good overall health. We focus more on your skin condition and overall health rather than your age. We want to make sure you are confident and happy in your skin. That means the right time for a breast lift is when you are ready.
