Who Needs a Breast Lift?

Breast lift surgery is appropriate for women who are generally satisfied with the size of their breasts but bothered by sagginess. The procedure can:

Breast lift is especially popular with women who have had children since pregnancy and breastfeeding can leave the breasts looking “deflated.”

How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost?

Here in Chicago, the cost of breast lift surgery depends very much on the specifics of the surgery. During your consultation, we offer you a written estimate for your procedure that details the anticipated fees. There’s no need to decide immediately during this appointment. Instead, you can take home the estimate and share it with other household decision-makers before moving forward with your surgery.

What Are the Different Types of Breast Lift?

Your breast lift surgery is tailored to your needs. During the planning process, Dr. Sisco takes extensive measurements of your breasts and facilitates a candid discussion with you about your ideal outcome. Typically, a breast lift is performed using 1 of the following incision types:

Regardless of the incision that’s the best match for you, Dr. Sisco uses meticulous techniques during surgery to ensure that the resulting scar is as discreet as possible.

Choosing Between a Breast Lift and Augmentation

A breast lift removes sagging, excess skin and raises the breasts to create more shapely, youthfully positioned breasts, but it doesn’t add the volume you would get from a breast augmentation. Women who want both fuller and more elevated breasts often combine their breast lift with implants to achieve the results they’re looking for.

Breast lift surgery can also be combined with breast implant removal surgery to reshape the breasts or breast reduction to reduce the size of your breasts and lift them. During your consultation, Dr. Sisco listens carefully to your aesthetic goals and helps you decide on the best approach.

What Can I Expect on the Day of My Breast Lift Surgery?

Dr. Sisco performs breast lift surgery as an outpatient procedure. However, to ensure your comfort, you’ll be under general anesthesia for the duration. The procedure can take a couple of hours to complete, after which you’re briefly monitored before being able to return home in the care of an adult.

How Long Is Recovery From a Breast Lift?

Recuperation after a breast lift is often faster than patients anticipate, although you should expect some bruising and swelling in the breast area that will mostly resolve within a couple of weeks of the surgery. Wearing a support bra helps minimize swelling; you will receive guidance from Dr. Sisco on how to address these and other issues during your recovery.

If you work a relatively sedentary job, you should be able to comfortably return to the office within a week. However, it’s best to avoid anything strenuous for several more weeks.

It’s important to keep your incisions dry and protected during your recovery. Once you are cleared to shower after surgery, be sure to pat your incisions thoroughly dry. Do not sit in a bathtub or go swimming for the first 4 weeks after surgery so that your incisions have time to heal fully before being immersed in water. With proper care, breast lift incisions will fade from red to light pink over the next few months and begin to flatten.

How Long After a Breast Lift Can I Sleep on My Side?

After a breast lift, avoid sleeping on your side or stomach for the first week or two to prevent putting pressure on the incisions. It’s best to sleep on your back propped up with pillows or in a recliner as directed by Dr. Sicso.

How Long Does a Breast Lift Last?

Your breast lift results can last for many years, especially if your weight stays relatively stable and you don’t become pregnant.

Achieve Smoother Contours With Axillary Breast Tissue Excision

Take your results to the next level by combining your breast lift with axillary breast tissue excision—a procedure in which Dr. Sisco carefully removes excess tissue in the armpit area. This helps achieve a more contoured look and eliminates unwanted bumps for a naturally smooth appearance.

My experience with Dr. Sisco was fantastic. In the most difficult time in my life he was so understanding, took his time to discuss all of my questions and options, and truly helped me come up with the best option for me in my breast cancer reconstruction journey. He took the extra time to really get to know me and my medical history/background, which was a huge comfort and displayed his investment in his patients. I cannot say enough of both his character and his work. He has helped me to feel better in my body and regain my confidence after a life-changing event. The staff at his practice are amazing as well!

I cannot recommend Dr. Sisco more highly. I had sought a breast reduction as a younger woman, and had a terrible consult with another doctor that had set me off the path for a decade. Dr. Sisco was the remedy for my sour experience from the first consultation. He was informative, personable, and really listened to what I was looking for (e.g. I'd like to go as small as possible, I don't care about scars if it gets a better shape overall, I have a preexisting fibroadenoma I'd like removed if possible, etc). Communication before the surgery was perfect, the day of the procedure could not have gone smoother, and post-operative care was wonderful. Three months post-op, I could not be happier with the results. Dr. Sisco's bedside manner is direct, informative, open to questions, and with a touch of humor. 5 out of 5, hands down. Thank you to Dr. Sisco and the entire North Shore care team for their care.

Easy process and recovery

Dr. Sisco is an artist and in a class of his own. Since October 2020, I've been going through some rough times but Dr. Sisco made it easy on me. His experience showed when I had to have many surgeries and he put my mind at ease every time. He listened carefully to my needs, gave me his honest opinion and together made decisions on what was best for me. At the end, I'm happy with the results and would recommend him to anyone. His office staff, nurses and Sophie are amazing too. Any time I email them through Northshore connect, they reply the same day. Thank you Dr. Sisco and may God always Bless you!!
