The effects of pregnancy can take a toll on a woman's body, especially in regards to breast size and contour. Breast lift surgery ("mastopexy") can benefit a woman who is seeking more youthful, appealing breasts.
Individuals who want to undergo a breast lift in Miami frequently seek the expertise of Leonard M. Hochstein, M.D. He has been in practice since 1998, performing more than 600 breast augmentations every year. "Dr. H" is qualified to perform the breast lift procedure; he is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) and a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), Dr. Hochstein is an Aventura breast lift surgeon serving the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale areas, as well as attracting international clients. Women who choose to undergo breast lift surgery with Dr. Hochstein can anticipate a safe, pleasant plastic surgery experience at his surgical facility accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery Facilities (AAAASF).


Miami plastic surgeon Dr. Hochstein offers various breast lift procedures/techniques that are designed to individually address each patient's needs. He may suggest a crescent-shaped, anchor-shaped, or Benelli lift variation depending on that person's goals and situation.
Women who have minimal sagging or drooping in the breast area may be good candidates for a "partial mastopexy," which involves the crescent-shaped technique. The incision will be made above the areola and moved upward in a new location. Typically, those who have severe signs of sagging are better suited for the anchor-shaped lift, which is designed to create a new breast envelope through repositioning of the nipple and reshaping of the breasts. This incision will start at the base of the areola and then vertically descend to where the breasts meet the rib cage. The Benelli lift involves making an incision solely along the areola and removing a donut-shaped piece of tissue around the areola border. Typically, this results in flatter, rounder breasts.
During an initial consultation, Miami breast lift surgeon Dr. Hochstein will go over more in-depth details regarding the various breast lift techniques. Women may also seek the help of "Dr. H" for other breast enhancement procedures, such as breast augmentation surgery ("augmentation mammaplasty"). Oftentimes, these procedures can be performed together.
