What is it?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and reshape your sagging breasts. A mastopexy can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume-for example after pregnancy-breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and their size.
No two patients are the same, thus Dr. Adams will individualize your breast lift for you and your body. There is no one procedure that is best for all patients.
What does it accomplish?
Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman's breasts. As skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag. This procedure can help reshape your breasts with a more youthful appearance.

Dr. Adams will discuss the numerous factors that determine what procedure or combination of procedures will give you your best result.
What happens during the first consultation?
During your first consultation, Dr. Adams will evaluate your general health. He will discuss, what changes can be made to your breasts and discuss what your expectations are. Dr. Adams will examine your breasts and measure your chest size. Dr. Adams prefers to individualize each one of his patient's care and will discuss the variables that may affect your surgery-such as your age, the size and shape of your breasts, the condition of your skin, and whether an implant is advisable. You will view pre and post-op pictures, be photographed and discuss pre and post-op care. Dr. Adams' assistant, Christy, will give you the total fee, which includes the surgeon's, hospital, and anesthesia fees.
