What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to lift and firm the breasts by removing excess skin, tightening the remaining skin, and repositioning the nipple and areola. The goal of a breast lift is to improve the shape, position, and firmness of the breasts, creating a more youthful and proportionate appearance.
Unlike breast augmentation, which involves the insertion of implants to enhance breast volume, a breast lift addresses breast sagging by reshaping the natural breast tissue. While a breast lift can give the appearance of fuller breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the breast tissue, it doesn’t add volume. For patients who desire additional volume, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation for more dramatic results.
At Red Rose Surgical, we customize each breast lift procedure to suit the specific needs of our patients, ensuring the most natural and aesthetic outcome.
A breast lift is an excellent option for women who are unhappy with the appearance of their breasts due to sagging or loss of firmness. Ideal candidates for a breast lift include those who:
Have Drooping Breasts: If your breasts have lost their shape or position due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, a breast lift can restore a youthful, lifted appearance.
Have Excess Skin: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations can cause the skin to stretch, leading to excess skin and a loss of elasticity. A breast lift removes this excess skin and tightens the remaining tissue.
Have Enlarged Areolas or Nipple Positioning Issues: If the areolas are enlarged or positioned low on the breasts, a breast lift can reposition them to a more natural location, enhancing the overall appearance.
Are in Good Health: Ideal candidates are in good health, free from serious medical conditions that could impact the healing process.
Are Finished Having Children: If you’re planning to have more children, it’s best to wait until after your pregnancies, as future breastfeeding can reverse some of the effects of a breast lift.
If you are considering a breast lift but also want to add volume to your breasts, combining a lift with breast augmentation (implant placement) can give you the best of both worlds.
Preparing for a Breast Lift
Proper preparation is key to achieving the best possible outcome from your breast lift surgery. Our team at Red Rose Surgical will guide you through the entire process, from the initial consultation to your post-surgery recovery.
Steps to Prepare for Surgery:
Consultation: Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with one of our experienced plastic surgeons. During this meeting, we will discuss your goals, evaluate your breast shape and size, and determine the best surgical approach for your needs.
Medical Evaluation: You will need to undergo a medical evaluation to ensure that you’re healthy enough for surgery. This may involve lab tests and a physical exam.
Stop Smoking: Smoking can impair the healing process and increase the risk of complications, so it’s important to stop smoking at least four weeks before the surgery.
Avoid Certain Medications: You’ll need to stop taking certain medications or supplements, such as aspirin or blood thinners, prior to surgery to reduce the risk of excessive bleeding.
Arranging Aftercare: You’ll need someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for the first 24 hours to ensure you are comfortable and safe during the initial recovery period.
Types of Breast Lift Techniques
At Red Rose Surgical, we offer several breast lift techniques, and the right one for you will depend on the amount of sagging, your body type, and your desired outcome. The most common techniques include:
Periareolar (Donut) Lift:
This technique involves an incision around the areola, making it ideal for patients with minimal sagging. It’s less invasive and offers a quicker recovery time but provides less dramatic results.
Vertical (Lollipop) Lift:
This technique involves an incision around the areola and a vertical incision that extends downward. It’s ideal for patients with moderate sagging and offers more lift than the periareolar lift.
Anchor Lift (Inverted T Lift):
This technique involves an incision around the areola, a vertical incision down the center of the breast, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. It’s best for patients with significant sagging and provides the most lift and reshaping.

What to Expect During Your Tummy Tuck Surgery
A tummy tuck is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, meaning you’ll be asleep throughout the surgery. Depending on the extent of your procedure and the type of tummy tuck you choose, the surgery can take anywhere from two to four hours.
The Surgical Process:
Incision Placement: Your surgeon will make an incision low on the abdomen, just above the pubic area, where it can be easily hidden by clothing or swimwear. The length of the incision will depend on the type of tummy tuck being performed.
Removal of Excess Skin and Fat: Once the incision is made, excess skin and fat will be removed to create a smoother contour. If necessary, liposuction may be used in conjunction with the tummy tuck to further sculpt the area.
Tightening of the Abdominal Muscles: The abdominal muscles will be tightened and repositioned, especially if you have diastasis recti, to restore a flatter appearance and improve muscle tone.
Repositioning the Belly Button: If the procedure involves a full tummy tuck, the belly button may need to be repositioned to maintain a natural, symmetrical look.
Closing the Incisions: Once the necessary adjustments are made, the incisions will be carefully closed with sutures, and you’ll be wrapped in a compression garment to help with the healing process.
Recovery After a Breast Lift
While recovery from a breast lift can vary from patient to patient, here’s what you can generally expect:
Initial Recovery: You will experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort after the procedure. Pain medication will be prescribed to manage any discomfort.
Compression Garment: You will need to wear a compression garment or surgical bra to support the breasts and reduce swelling.
Resuming Activities: Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but strenuous activities should be avoided for 4-6 weeks to allow the breasts to heal properly.
Follow-Up Appointments: You will have follow-up visits to monitor your healing and ensure that there are no complications.
It’s important to rest and follow the post-operative instructions provided by your surgeon to ensure a smooth recovery process.
The results of a breast lift are immediately noticeable, with firmer, lifted breasts and a more youthful shape. However, the final results will become more apparent as the swelling subsides, typically within a few months. A breast lift provides long-lasting results, but it’s important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including weight management, to preserve your results.
For patients who desire additional volume along with a lift, breast augmentation can be combined with a breast lift to achieve fuller, more youthful breasts.

The ideal body type for a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) can vary based on individual goals and anatomical considerations, but here are some general factors that can influence the suitability for the procedure:
Sufficient Body Fat: The BBL involves liposuction to harvest fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, which is then injected into the buttocks. Ideal candidates generally have a moderate amount of excess body fat to provide a good fat source for transfer.
Healthy Weight Range: While there’s no strict weight requirement, candidates should be within a healthy weight range and have a stable weight. Extreme weight fluctuations can affect the longevity and results of the procedure.
Good Skin Elasticity: The skin’s elasticity is crucial for achieving smooth, natural-looking results. Good skin tone and elasticity help the newly transferred fat integrate well and shape the buttocks effectively.
Overall Good Health: Candidates should be in overall good health and have no medical conditions that could complicate surgery or recovery. A thorough health assessment is part of the pre-operative evaluation.
Realistic Expectations: The ideal candidate has realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure. While the BBL can significantly enhance body proportions, results vary based on individual anatomy and lifestyle factors.
Proportionate Body: The BBL can be particularly effective for individuals who want to enhance their curves and achieve a more balanced, proportionate silhouette. The procedure is often sought by those looking to enhance their buttocks while also contouring other areas of the body.
Ultimately, the best way to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for a BBL is to have a consultation with a qualified, board-certified plastic surgeon. They can assess your individual body type, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a personalized plan to achieve the best results for you.
The shape and proportion of a person’s buttocks are largely determined by genetics; both your skeletal structure and how your body stores fat influence . A healthy diet and exercise can work to achieve a healthy body weight and tone the muscles, but many patients remain unhappy with a “flat” buttocks that lacks shape.

An abdominoplasty, commonly known as a tummy tuck, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to remove excess skin and fat from the abdomen while tightening the muscles of the abdominal wall. It is often sought by individuals who have loose or sagging abdominal skin due to factors such as significant weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.
Key Features of an Abdominoplasty:
1.Purpose:
The procedure aims to achieve a firmer, flatter abdominal contour by addressing:
Excess fat.
Loose or stretched skin.
Weak or separated abdominal muscles (a condition called diastasis recti).
2.Procedure:
The surgeon typically makes an incision above the pubic area, which may extend from hip to hip, depending on the extent of the surgery.
Excess skin is removed, and abdominal muscles are tightened.
The remaining skin is repositioned and sutured, often resulting in a new placement of the belly button.
3.Types of Tummy Tucks:
Full Abdominoplasty: Addresses the entire abdominal area.
Mini Tummy Tuck: Focuses on the lower abdomen below the belly button.
Extended Abdominoplasty: Includes the flanks (love handles) and sometimes the lower back.
4.Recovery:
Recovery typically takes 2-4 weeks, with restrictions on physical activity to allow healing. Compression garments are often worn to reduce swelling and support the area.
5.Who is a Candidate?
Candidates are generally those in good overall health, near their ideal weight, and with realistic expectations. It is not a weight-loss procedure but rather a body-contouring surgery.
6.Risks:
Like any surgery, abdominoplasty carries risks such as infection, scarring, blood clots, and complications from anesthesia.
A breast reduction (reduction mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure that removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to reduce the size and weight of the breasts. This procedure offers a range of physical, emotional, and aesthetic benefits for individuals experiencing discomfort or dissatisfaction due to overly large breasts.
Key Benefits of Breast Reduction:
1. Relief from Physical Discomfort
Back, Neck, and Shoulder Pain: Large breasts can cause chronic pain in the upper back, neck, and shoulders. Reducing their size can alleviate this strain.
Improved Posture: The weight of large breasts often affects posture; a reduction helps balance the body and promote better alignment.
Skin Irritation: Reducing breast size can eliminate issues like skin rashes, irritation, or infections beneath the breasts (intertrigo).
2. Easier Physical Activity
Breast reduction can improve mobility and make exercise more comfortable. Many individuals find that activities like running, yoga, and strength training are more accessible after the procedure.
3. Improved Clothing Fit
Large breasts can make it difficult to find properly fitting clothing or bras. After breast reduction, individuals often have an easier time finding well-fitting, supportive garments and feel more confident in a variety of styles.
4. Enhanced Emotional Well-Being
Increased Confidence: For many, overly large breasts can be a source of self-consciousness. A reduction often boosts self-esteem and body image.
Reduced Anxiety: The unwanted attention or comments that some individuals with large breasts receive can lead to social anxiety, which may decrease post-procedure.
5. Aesthetic Improvements
Breast reduction reshapes the breasts for a more proportional appearance. It can also correct asymmetry or sagging caused by the weight of large breasts.
6. Long-Term Results
The results of a breast reduction are typically long-lasting, especially when combined with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle.
7. Improved Sleep Quality
Many individuals report better sleep after breast reduction due to the alleviation of physical discomfort and the ability to lie in more comfortable positions.
8. Reduction of Grooving from Bra Straps
Large breasts often cause painful indentations in the shoulders from bra straps. A reduction eliminates this issue for most patients.
Who Might Benefit?
Individuals with large, heavy breasts causing pain or physical limitations.
Those experiencing emotional distress or self-consciousness due to breast size.
Individuals looking for a more proportionate body shape.
Risks and Recovery
While breast reduction has significant benefits, it’s a surgical procedure with potential risks, including scarring, loss of nipple sensation, or changes in breast shape over time. Recovery typically takes several weeks, during which patients need to limit physical activity and wear a support garment.
If you’re considering breast reduction, consulting a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to discuss goals, health conditions, and expected outcomes. This procedure is often life-changing, improving both physical health and quality of life.
The recovery time after surgery varies significantly depending on the type of procedure, the individual’s overall health, and how well they follow post-operative care instructions. Here’s a general guide for common types of surgery:
1. Minor Surgeries
Examples: Mole removal, laparoscopic procedures, or dental surgeries.
Recovery Time: A few days to a week.
Key Notes: Patients can usually resume normal activities within a few days, although some discomfort or minor swelling may persist.
2. Abdominal Surgeries
Examples: Appendectomy, hernia repair, or abdominoplasty (tummy tuck).
Recovery Time:
Tummy Tuck: 6-8 weeks (with restrictions on heavy lifting for 4-6 weeks).
Key Notes: Full recovery depends on adherence to post-surgical instructions and avoiding strenuous activities.
3. Breast Surgeries
Examples: Breast augmentation, reduction, or reconstruction.
Recovery Time:
Resume light activity: 1-2 weeks.
Full recovery: 4-6 weeks.
Key Notes: Patients should avoid upper body exercises for several weeks.
4. Plastic Surgery (e.g., Liposuction, Rhinoplasty)
Recovery Time:
Liposuction: 2-4 weeks for light activities, full recovery in 6-8 weeks.
Rhinoplasty: 1-2 weeks for initial recovery; swelling can persist for months.
Key Notes: Compression garments (for liposuction) or nasal splints (for rhinoplasty) may be required during recovery.
General Recovery Tips:
Follow Post-Surgical Care: Always adhere to your surgeon’s instructions.
Healthy Lifestyle: A balanced diet and hydration promote healing.
Avoid Strain: Gradually increase physical activity as advised by your doctor.
Follow-Up Appointments: Regular check-ups ensure proper recovery.
For a specific surgery, always consult with your surgeon for personalized recovery timelines and advice.

Breast implant sizes are determined based on several factors to achieve the most natural and desired appearance. The process primarily revolves around the volume of the implants, measured in cubic centimeters (cc), rather than traditional bra cup sizes. This ensures a more accurate and personalized fit since cup sizes vary across different manufacturers.
Key factors that influence size selection include:
Chest Width and Ribcage Measurements: Surgeons measure the width of the chest to determine the base diameter of the implant, ensuring it complements the patient’s anatomy.
Desired Appearance and Lifestyle: Patients are encouraged to discuss their aesthetic goals, whether they want a more natural look or something more pronounced. Lifestyle considerations, such as physical activity, are also important since larger implants might impact mobility.
Trial with Sizers: Many surgeons use implant sizers or digital imaging tools during consultations, allowing patients to visualize potential results. There are also DIY methods, like the “rice test,” to simulate implant volume.
Existing Breast Tissue: The amount of natural breast tissue determines how the implant will sit and whether additional support might be needed to prevent complications like rippling or “bottoming out.”
Long-Term Goals: Choosing a size that aligns with the patient’s long-term satisfaction is vital, as overly large implants might lead to sagging or tissue strain over time.
Patients will consult with our surgeon to explore options and understand risks such as capsular contracture or changes in sensation. Open discussions about lifestyle, body type, and aesthetic preferences are crucial for a successful outcome

The timing for undergoing plastic surgery after pregnancy depends on factors such as your recovery, breastfeeding status, and the specific procedure you’re considering. Generally, most surgeons recommend waiting at least 6 months to a year after giving birth. Here’s why:
Physical Recovery: Childbirth places significant strain on the body. Waiting allows your body to heal fully, your uterus to shrink, and your tissues to stabilize. Breastfeeding mothers should also wait until breastfeeding is complete to avoid changes in breast tissue that might affect surgical results.
Hormonal Stabilization: Hormones fluctuate significantly during and after pregnancy, influencing body weight, skin elasticity, and emotional well-being. Allowing time for hormonal balance ensures more predictable surgical outcomes.
Weight Stability: Pregnancy weight often fluctuates postpartum due to natural processes like breastfeeding and activity. It’s best to achieve a stable weight closer to your pre-pregnancy level before undergoing procedures like tummy tucks or liposuction to ensure lasting results.
Certain non-invasive treatments, such as Botox or fillers, may be performed shortly after pregnancy, but always consult with your surgeon to determine the best timing based on your unique circumstances. Additionally, many women opt to wait until they are done having children before pursuing procedures like a Mommy Makeover, which combines surgeries such as tummy tucks, breast enhancement, and liposuction for comprehensive body contouring.
A “mommy makeover” is a combination of cosmetic surgical procedures designed to help women regain their pre-pregnancy bodies by addressing physical changes resulting from pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. These procedures are typically customized to each individual’s needs and may include the following:
Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty): This procedure removes excess skin and tightens abdominal muscles to restore a flatter stomach.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy): Lifts and reshapes sagging breasts, sometimes combined with implants or reduction for desired results.
Breast Augmentation or Reduction: Enhances breast volume using implants or reduces their size to achieve proportional contours.
Liposuction: Targets areas like the stomach, hips, thighs, or arms to remove stubborn fat deposits.
Other Options: Some mommy makeovers may include treatments like labiaplasty or non-surgical enhancements such as skin tightening.
Typically performed in one session or staged surgeries, these procedures can help improve self-confidence and address physical concerns that diet and exercise alone may not resolve. Recovery time varies, but most women need 4-6 weeks for initial recovery, depending on the procedures involved.
