Overview
Overview
WHAT IS BREAST LIFT?
With time, breasts may lose their perky appearance and skin elasticity. This happens as a result of pregnancy and breastfeeding, weight gain or loss, and aging.
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, gives a woman firmer, perkier, more youthful-looking breasts. Your plastic surgeon will remove excess skin from your breasts, tightening tissue to support them with a natural contour. A breast lift will leave you feeling younger on the outside and more confident on the inside.

At Polyclinic Plastic Surgery in Seattle, our board-certified plastic surgeons will apply their surgical artistry to give you the best possible results. After your breast lift, you can expect:
- Firmer, perkier breasts
- Improved body contour
- A boost in self-confidence and body image
- Natural-looking results
Candidates
Who is the Ideal Candidate?
Typically, women with excessive breast sagging and nipples that fall below the breast crease are candidates for breast lift surgery. Physically, the ideal candidate is at a healthy weight, is a non-smoker, and has no significant health issues. It’s also important to have realistic expectations for your results.
Recovery
Recovery
What Can I Expect from Recovery?
After your breast lift surgery, you will likely experience temporary swelling and discomfort. You will be sent home with pain medication, care instructions, and a compression garment to reduce fluid retention and swelling and support the breasts. Physical activity will be at a minimum for some days while you heal, and your plastic surgeon will continue to monitor your recovery for the weeks following your surgery.
Scars will depend on the type of breast lift your surgeon performed. All scars will fade over time and are easily hidden.

Frequently Asked Questions
Congratulations! When it comes to first-time pregnancy, there are plenty of lifestyle adjustments to make, physical changes to get acquainted with and extremely exciting milestones ahead for both you and your future baby! Thankfully, all things considered, you can comfortably scratch “having breast implants” from any list of concerns or at least two reasons: Getting pregnant, giving birth, and breastfeeding with breast implants are all entirely possible and all considered totally safe for both the baby and the mother. Secondly, if any changes were to occur that affected the cosmetic appearance of the breasts or the implants, they are quickly correctable after breastfeeding, at the earliest possible opportunity. These changes might include changes to the position of the implants in relation to the now-developed breasts, or to the firmness of your breasts. In most cases, the implants.
SAFETY OF BREAST IMPLANTS DURING PREGNANCY
Breast augmentation patients planning to bear children often wonder if pregnancy will affect or even damage their implants. While pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding do cause the body to undergo tremendous natural shifts, every woman will experience these changes differently, and the changes often differ even from pregnancy to pregnancy for the same mother. Swelling of the breasts during pregnancy is natural, as is the volume loss that occurs after breastfeeding. For some, these fluctuations are dramatic while for others they are subtle.
In either case, the breast implants are not damaged and their structure and integrity hold throughout this exciting and life-changing time. The breasts play a central role in the transformative biological process of giving birth and as they pass through the many phases involved, the implants themselves are not affected or compromised.

Friendly, helpful staff
March 2017
Great first visit for gathering information on a possible procedure. In the reception area, I was greeted by friendly, helpful staff.

I see Dr. Nadeau for my filler and Botox. She is an absolute artist when it comes to filler. She will take her time assessing your face and listen to your needs and concerns while also giving her honest input and advice to steer you in the right direction. I was certain that I wanted fuller lips, but we ended up treating my cheeks and under-eyes and it has made all the difference. When it com(...)

He is bar none….. the best!!!!
Dr. Kyllo was referred to me as the very best in plastic surgery. He was great!!! My last post-op I discussed with him a concern regarding my breast and he evaluated me and requested additional testing. I did just that and Thank God I did. He caught my breast cancer early, not because of obvious lump, but simply his expertise. He worked with my surgeon from another hospital, as they made a pl(...)
Dr. Kyllo is Highly Skilled and Honestly the Best!
I came to see Dr. Kyllo within days after I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I had been told by word of mouth, he was a perfectionist in his field, and genuinely nice. Dr. Kyllo did reconstructive surgery for my bilateral mastectomy and my results look great. In addition, I had liposuction on my neck as well as an endoscopic eyebrow lift. I am extremely happy with those results too, even tou(...)
