San Diego Breast Lift – La Jolla, Inland Empire, Temecula
Dr. Kincaid

As a San Diego plastic surgery specialist, Dr. Stuart Kincaid has dedicated his career to helping his aesthetic surgery patients achieve their desired physique. His years of experience helping patients seeking breast lift in San Diego, Temecula, Inland Empire and the surrounding area is evident in the high number of patient referrals he receives. Please read the paragraphs below to learn more about breast reduction.

As time passes, all skin looses some of its elasticity. For some women, this leads to breast sagging, which can be severe. Childbearing and nursing contribute to breast sagging. A breast lift is used to restore the shape and firmness of breasts and/or to reduce the size of the areola (the dark area encircling the nipple).

Procedure

Breast lifts are usually conducted on an outpatient basis using a general anesthetic. An anchor-shaped incision is made that goes around the areola, vertically from the areola to the natural crease under the breast and horizontally across the crease under the breast. Excess skin is removed and the areola is repositioned. The incision is sutured closed. A modified procedure is used for women with smaller breasts or with less sagging. In the modified procedure, an incision is made around the areola. All excess skin is removed, the areola is replaced and the incision is closed. The surgery generally takes between 1-1/2 and 3 hours.

Recovery

Following the surgery, a gauze dressing is placed on the breast and covered with a tight elastic bandage or surgical bra. This helps reduce swelling. There is the possibility of infection following any surgery. Your surgeon will likely prescribe antibiotics to avoid infection in addition to any pain medication. Stitches are removed in 3 to 5 days, at which time a softer, support bra is worn over a gauze dressing 24 hours a day for 3 to 4 weeks. Swelling, bruising and numbness, particularly around the incision, are normal and generally subside over 6 weeks. Most patients return to work in 7 to 10 days, but must avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for 4 weeks.

In addition to performing breast lift Dr. Kincaid is also a highly regarded surgeon performing breast augmentation in Temecula. His surgical skill and compassionate patient care have attracted patients from the surrounding area, including Las Vegas breast augmentation, La Jolla cosmetic surgery and South Orange County breast augmentation patients to his modern facilities.
