Patient 17
Breast Lift

This 54-year-old patient presented to Dr. Siamak Agha for plastic surgery after weight loss. The patient had lost over 100 pounds though gastric bypass surgery and was left with significant laxity of her skin and tissue. The patient did not want to have breast implants but wanted to correct her breast sagging and deflation.

Upon examination, Dr. Agha found that the patient had significant breast ptosis. Her left breast was larger and more deflated than the right and hung lower on her chest. She was about a D cup but wished to be slightly smaller.

To lift the patients breasts and create a round breast shape without using implants, Dr. Agha performed a Dermal Bra Suspension Breast Lift– an innovative breast procedure that he pioneered with Dr. Rubin. He began the surgery by making an anchor-type incision on each breast. Through this incision, he reshaped the patient’s existing breast fat and tissue. The tissue was molded and sutured to itself to create a breast mound. The breast mound, supported by its dermal bra (internal bra), was then sutured to the chest muscle at a higher position.

After the patient’s Breast Lift, her breasts were much less deflated. Furthermore, her breasts sat nicely on her chest and were supported by her internal bra. The patient’s Dermal Bra Suspension Breast Lift after photos were taken 5 months after her procedure.
