Breast uplift surgery for women in Michigan and Metro Detroit is convenient
and private at the Straith Clinic. A breast lift is performed
to correct breast sagging, low nipple position, and to increase
firmness without changing the size. The surgery involves a rearrangement
of the soft tissues, repositioning the nipple, and tightening
the overlying skin. In some cases, this procedure may be combined
with the use of an implant to enlarge the breast when readjustment
of the normal tissues alone will not suffice. Many patients
are candidates for the short scar mastopexy which minimizes
the amount of incisions that are required.
· Anesthesia: Generally local anesthesia with IV sedation.
· Length of surgery: 2 to 3 hours.
· In/Outpatient: Generally out-patient in our AAAHC accredited
office surgical suite or in a hospital setting.

activity: 3 to 6 weeks. Fading of scars: several months to a year.
· Duration of Results: Usually permanent although gravity,
pregnancy, aging, and weight changes may cause new sagging.
