Dr Gahankari possesses the knowledge, experience and skill set to tailor the breast lift procedure to obtain the results you are looking for.
Is this procedure for me?
If you have experienced sagging, or your breasts have lost their firmness, a breast lift may be the solution for you. Sagging can occur from the excess loss in weight, from breast feeding or just simply due to gravity. A breast lift procedure has the ability to correct the sagging of breasts and the loss of firmness due to a range of different causes, including those outlined above.
A breast lift procedure involves harnessing the existing breast tissue, in order to reshape the appearance of the breast into a perkier, more youthful appearance. A breast lift can be performed without the addition of a breast implant if there is adequate breast tissue. Dr Gahankari will determine whether or not an implant is required by taking into consideration your preference, and the size and natural proportions of your body. There are a number of different procedures that can be performed for a breast lift, they all however strive towards achieving a perkier, firmer breast while minimizing scarring.
During the breast lift procedure, Gold Coast based plastic surgeon Dr Dilip Gahankari will reshape the breasts by removing excess skin to produce higher, firmer breasts.
