A dorner BREAST Lift for a Boost in Confidence

The dorner BREAST lift procedure is for women who want to address sagging, stretching, and loose skin. Dr. Dorner can help enhance your breast shape with a natural appearance.

Benefits of a Breast Lift

Whether you want to restore your breasts to their youthful look or you want the elevation and shape you have always dreamed of, a dorner BREAST lift can help. Our patients often want to:

  • Make breasts look firmer, more youthful, and perkier
  • Improve nipple projection and position
  • Resize and raise the areolae
  • Reduce irritation under the breasts from sagging

Getting a dorner BREAST Lift and Augmentation

Many people realize they want both a breast lift and augmentation to also add size or fullness and achieve their aesthetic goals. We can help you decide if a breast lift, augmentation, or both will work best for you.

Who is a Good Candidate for a dorner BREAST Lift?

A breast lift addresses drooping or sagging breast tissue. This can be 
a life-changing procedure for individuals experiencing:

  • Drooping, sagging, or stretched breasts
  • Tubular breasts (elongated breasts that often point downward)
  • Breast asymmetry, where one breast droops more than the other
  • Breasts affected by the natural aging process, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss

Breast Lift
Options

Depending on your breast lift goals and preferences, Dr. Dorner can perform different breast lift techniques, including varying incision locations.

CL

Crescent Lift: This technique is named for the crescent moon shaped excision above the areola that removes excess skin to lift the breast. We perform this procedure in our office under local anesthesia. This technique can raise the breast about 1-2 cm, making it best for patients who need minimal lift.

DL

Donut Lift: This technique uses a circular incision around the areola to remove excess skin and lift the breast. This procedure is also performed in our office under local anesthesia. The donut lift raises the breast about 1-3 cm.

VLL

Vertical or Lollipop Lift: Named for the complete circular incision around the areola and a vertical incision to the fold under the breast, this technique raises the breast 3-5 cm. We perform this procedure under general anesthesia.

AL

Anchor Lift: This technique can raise the breast as high as needed, making it the most effective breast lift for significant sagging. The anchor lift uses incisions around the areola, vertically to the fold under the breast, and along the inframammary fold (your bottom breast crease). We perform this procedure under general anesthesia.

Incisions

Incision location depends on the type of breast lift you choose: Crescent, Donut, Vertical, or Anchor.
