How does a breast lift surgery work?

During the breast lift procedure, you will be under the care of Dr Chad Wu and his skilled team. Dr Wu operates at his private plastic surgery clinic in Downtown Toronto. Dr Wu lifts and reshapes the breasts, improving the contour and silhouette of the breast. Excess skin is removed, and the breasts are repositioned higher on the chest. Depending on the individual, a breast lift can include a reduction of large areolas so they remain symmetrical and proportional.

What Can a Breast Lift Correct?

Breast lifts can address many concerns, including sagging breasts, loss of elasticity, and enlarged areolas. Unhappiness with one’s breasts may come from changes in the body due to ageing or weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or simply because it is hereditary. Breast lifts can provide a formidable solution for these concerns.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?

Ideal candidates for a breast lift are individuals in good health, maintaining a stable weight, and having realistic expectations for surgery.

Breast lifts are especially beneficial for individuals irritated by sagging and losing shape. It can even be that one breast is lower than the other. Breasts losing their volume leave people with a flatter profile. It is also a procedure that benefits those who dislike having their nipples fall below the crease of their breast fold. The procedure restores and enhances the shape of the breast, reestablishing a balanced look for the individual.
