Breast Lift in Las Vegas, NV

Women who have drooping or sagging breasts may consider Breast Lift surgery to give them a younger, shapelier appearance. During this procedure,Dr. Marvin Spann uses a tightening technique to lift the breasts and raise them to a higher position on the chest wall. In some situations, breast implants (saline or silicone) may be used to add volume. Many women will choose to have a Breast Lift because of how their breasts look and feel following pregnancy, nursing, and weight loss. The results, when performed by an experienced surgeon, can last for many years. Las Vegas plastic surgeon, Dr. Marvin Spann, is highly skilled in this procedure and can enhance your natural beauty and create healthy, youthful, and gorgeous looking results.

The type of incision Dr. Marvin Spann uses during a Breast Lift procedure will vary depending on the degree of lift required, and whether implants will be placed during the surgery. If implants are a part of the procedure, whether silicone or saline, they are placed under the pectoralis muscle. This method provides additional support and helps to keep the breasts in a higher position for a longer period of time. In situations where a larger implant is desired,a supportive tissue matrix may be used as a sling to hold the implants in place. During your consultation with Dr. Marvin Spann, he will explain the technique he will use depending on what is most appropriate for your body type.

The degree of lift will determine how many incisions are needed and where they will be placed. Once the incisions are made, excess skin and tissue are removed and the nipple and areola are repositioned for a natural placement. The sutures during this procedure are placed deep in the breast wall to secure and hold the breast up firmly. There are several incision placements to consider:

• Around the curvature of the areola (the tissue immediately surrounding the nipple)
• Vertically on the bottom of the areola, down to the crease under the breast
• Horizontally beneath the breast following the natural crease

Breast Lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and is considered an outpatient procedure. Operative time in most cases is between 1-2 hours. Recovery following a breast lift will vary depending on whether it was a stand-alone surgery or if it occurred in conjunction with another body contouring procedure. Most patients are able to resume their normal work schedules within a few days. Exercise will be a gradual process. Most women are able to resume their normal routines within 6-8 weeks. This includes running and weight training. Dr. Marvin Spann will explain what to expect before, during, and after your procedure during your consultation. Just contact our office today!

The average cost for a Breast Lift is about $7,500-$9,500. These costs will vary depending on the extent of the surgery. If breast implants are placed during the lift procedure, the total cost will increase and could run anywhere from $9,000-$11,000.  However, because of this combination approach, the overall cost will be less per procedure.  

According to Dr. Marvin Spann,"Some women find a Breast Lift is the only procedure they need to obtain the fullness they desire and determine implants aren’t necessary. During your consultation, we will discuss whether a Breast Lift, Breast Augmentation, or a combination of both will attain the best results."

During a Breast Lift procedure, the nipple and areola will be placed in a location on the breast that is natural and proportionate. The goal during this surgery is to reduce the size of the areola (the area surrounding the nipple) so it looks balanced with the new breast size and shape.

There are necessary incisions that need to be made in order to complete a Breast Lift procedure. Therefore, some scarring will result from this procedure. Every effort is made during surgery to minimize scarring. Most women feel that the physical results following a Breast Lift procedure are worth the scars left behind. During your consultation, we will provide detailed post-operative scar care instructions.

Breast Reduction surgery may also be combined with a Breast Lift to help a patient achieve the size and shape she desires. This surgery is very similar to a lift, but with the added step of removing more breast tissue in conjunction with excess skin. More information about this procedure can be found on our Breast Reduction page. We encourage you to schedule your consultation with Dr. Marvin Spann today to address all of your questions!
