Sagging and deflated breasts can contribute to an aged appearance.
Pregnancy and aging can cause your breasts to lose their attractive, youthful appearance.
Many women have difficulty accepting changes in their breasts, especially the loss of shape and lack of volume.
Many women have breasts that still have adequate volume but are simply sagging downward.
Breast lift surgery tightens and supports sagging breast tissue to achieve firmer, more youthful breasts.
Breast lipofilling is a true revolution in the field of aesthetic and reconstructive breast augmentation.
It allows, by reinjecting the patient’s own fat, to obtain a natural breast augmentation, without scars, and without foreign bodies (and therefore without complications related to breast implants).
In addition to this, the patient benefits from liposuction of the areas of excess fat. This is a real breakthrough in cosmetic breast surgery for any plastic surgeon.
Women who request breast lift are healthy and have realistic expectations of possible outcomes.
Ideal breast lift patients have satisfactory breast volume but weakened breast tissue.
Tissue laxity can be the result of pregnancy, weight loss, or the natural aging process. Women who need a breast lift may have stage two, or more, of ptosis (sagging).
Normal breast tissue, without sagging. The lower breast tissue is above the breast fold and the nipple is directed outward.
Operated by Dr. Gianfermi, I am infinitely grateful for the exceptional work he did on me. He knew how to listen to me and to identify my needs with precision. The result is natural and far exceeds my expectations. Thanks also to Betty, his great assistant, for her reassuring presence after the operation and her professionalism. They are both wonderful people. I don't have the words to express my gratitude to them... Thank you for everything.
Dr. Gianfermi is renowned for his breast lift incision techniques that leave little to no scarring.
Incision placement and closure play an important role in determining how natural your breast lift results will be.
Dr. Gianfermi prefers this incision technique because it allows him to better control the scar that develops.
Dr. Gianfermi makes an incision around the colored edge of the areola, which allows access to the breast tissue. Although other surgeons perform this technique, they often have many problems, including scarring, flattening of the breast mass, wrinkling of the skin around the areola, being able to move the nipple/areola complex only up to two centimeters, and not being able to accomplish much of the breast lift.
With his patience and meticulous work, Dr. Gianfermi can achieve a near-perfect result, including :
Dr. Gianfermi uses this incision technique for women with very heavy breast tissue and grade 4 ptosis.
This technique is most effective for women who have lost a tremendous amount of weight, have post-pregnancy/breast-feeding breasts and poor skin elasticity. Dr. Gianfermi makes an incision around the areola, along the lower breast tissue and along the natural curve of the inframammary fold.
When he closes the incision, Dr. Gianfermi places five layers of sutures. These layers of sutures control any tension placed at the bottom of the wound and prevent stretching of the incisions that can lead to further scarring. Dr. Gianfermi reserves the inverted T incision for women with larger breasts, as it leaves visible scars.
Dr. Gianfermi takes great care to control the shape and quality of the scar so that it is as fine as possible. Most patients feel that the thin, light scar is well worth the support and results achieved.
For women with large, bulky breasts that require additional support but absolutely refuse an inverted T scar, Dr. Gianfermi performs the internal bra mastopexy.
This technique combines circumareolar incision for skin and inverted T-shaping of breast tissue under the skin, with an ACD matrix for additional support.
Internal bra mastopexy is a revolutionary technique that provides long-lasting breast support without an inverted T incision to the skin. If you think you could benefit from an internal bra mastopexy, please contact us.
In addition to the full shape of the breasts, the shape and placement of the areola helps create a natural breast appearance. Dr. Gianfermi’s incision techniques allow him to control the shape of the areola.
During surgery, an areola reduction can be performed to improve the size of the areola.
For patients who are not satisfied with having a scar along the edge of the areola, Dr. Gianfermi offers areola tattooing to hide the scars. Dr. Gianfermi’s goal is to achieve a beautiful, natural look to the breast and long-lasting results.
A breast augmentation combined with a breast lift can restore fullness and strengthen the breast tissue in a single procedure. The combination of breast implants and your breast lift requires specialized skills.
Dr. Gianfermi takes great care to balance tissue removal and implant size. The current size of your breasts compared to the desired implant size will affect the amount of tissue removed during your breast lift.
Dr. Gianfermi’s expert eye and attention to detail allow him to create a new breast appearance that looks natural.
