Breast Lift

As a woman's skin ages and becomes less elastic, the breasts have a natural tendency to sag and droop. Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a plastic surgery procedure that restores shape and firmness to the breasts. Women who were pregnant or have lost weight are also good candidates for the breast lift procedure. For women who desire greater volume as well as firmness, breast augmentation may be performed in conjunction with the breast lift procedure.

The best candidates for breast lift surgery are women with small or sagging breasts. Women who are planning to become pregnant may want to postpone surgery. Breast lift surgery should not affect your ability to breastfeed.

Breast lift surgery generally takes one and a half to three hours to complete. Incisions are made around the areola and from the initial incision to the underside of the breast. The areola is moved into a higher position, and excess skin is removed.

If you are considering a breast lift, contact plastic surgeon Dr. Kjar and arrange a consultation at our Bountiful office — serving Ogden, Salt Lake City, and Utah patients statewide. Breast lift surgery can restore volume and shape to your bustline. Make an appointment with Dr. Kjar to learn more about the procedure or to have any concerns or questions addressed.

Breast Reduction

If large, heavy breasts cause chronic neck and back pain and necessitate breast reduction surgery, arrange a consultation with Dr. Kjar. Women who feel socially awkward because of their proportions may also benefit from breast reduction surgery. The breast reduction procedure, or reduction mammoplasty, makes the breasts smaller, lighter, and more proportionate to the body. Although it is a relatively complex procedure and can involve significant scarring, Dr. Kjar is among the best at minimizing scarring.

The best candidates for breast reduction surgery are women with very large and fully developed breasts that cause chronic pain or discomfort. Women who intend to breastfeed are advised to postpone breast reduction until their children are weaned.

Breast reduction surgery typically takes two to four hours to complete. Techniques for breast reduction vary, depending on individual anatomy, but the most common procedure involves an incision around the areola and downward, following the natural curve beneath the breast.

If you are considering a breast reduction, contact our Salt Lake City, Utah-area office. Breast reduction surgery can correct chronic neck or back pain and restore comfortable proportions to your body. For more information, schedule a cosmetic consultation with Dr. Kjar. He is happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
