Breast Lift Surgery at Sarasota Surgical Arts
A breast lift at Sarasota Surgical Arts is a carefully tailored procedure that helps restore youthful breasts and symmetry. During your pre-op appointment, Dr. Sessa maps out precise reference lines to guide nipple repositioning and tissue reshaping. You’ll be placed under general anesthesia by a board‑certified anesthesiologist before Dr. Sessa begins surgery.
After the anesthesia settles in, he makes the agreed-upon incision pattern, and then removes excess skin, reshapes the underlying breast tissue, and repositions the nipple-areola complex to a higher, more natural location. If you want to add more volume or firmness, then it is recommended to combine this procedure with implants or fat grafting. The entire surgery takes around 1-2 hours, and most patients return home the same day wearing a supportive surgical bra.
Recovery at a Glance for Breast Lift in Manatee County
Most Manatee County patients can return home just a few hours after surgery. You’ll typically experience mild chest tightness or pressure as the anesthesia wears off. You might experience bruising and swelling in the first few days, but these are well-managed with prescribed pain medication, a supportive surgical bra, and elevation techniques recommended by Dr. Sessa’s team before you head home. For best results, schedule regular check‑ups; sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated; and take a brief break from work and exercise.
