If you’re considering a breast lift, understanding your candidacy is an important first step. Whether you’re looking to restore a youthful breast shape or address the effects of aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations, working with a trusted surgeon is key. At Dr. Ferguson’s practice, you’ll find personalized guidance from Dr. Ferguson, a skilled and board-certified plastic surgeon committed to delivering natural-looking, long-lasting results.

Why Consider a Breast Lift?

You may benefit from a breast lift if you’re bothered by sagging breasts, loss of firmness, or downward-pointing nipples. These changes often result from:

• Aging and skin elasticity loss

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding

• Weight gain or significant weight loss

• Genetics or naturally low breast positioning

A breast lift can elevate and reshape your breasts without increasing size. If you also want to enhance volume, you may consider combining your lift with implants.

What Makes You a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery if:

• Your breasts appear flat, elongated, or pendulous

• Your nipples fall below the breast crease

• Your nipples or areolas point downward

• You experience skin irritation beneath the breast fold

• One breast is lower than the other

• You maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle

Ideal candidates should also be non-smokers, have realistic expectations, and be in generally good health. It’s important that your breasts are fully developed, so this procedure is typically recommended for adults over 18.

What to Expect During a Consultation

Dr. Ferguson will carefully evaluate your breast shape, skin elasticity, nipple placement, and personal goals during your in-depth consultation. He’ll thoroughly walk you through all potential surgical techniques, incision pattern options, anesthesia choices, and recovery expectations. You’ll also receive detailed, personalized recommendations tailored to your anatomy and desired outcomes, helping you make a confident, informed decision about surgery.
