What’s a Breast Lift?
February 28th, 2012
Sagging of a woman’s breasts can occur due to any significant weight change, such as after a pregnancy. True sagging refers to nipple position falling below the crease beneath your breast. The “pencil test” is the way to find out if surgery might be indicated. By placing a pencil beneath your breast and if your nipple hangs below the pencil when you sit or stand, then you may need a breast lift. Breast lift surgery repositions the nipple and areola (pigmented skin around the nipple) upwards to a more natural position. This natural position is about one half to three quarters of an inch above the crease. Positioning them higher than this can result in an odd breast appearance. The size of the areola can also be reduced if desired.
Scars from a breast lift are the same as breast reduction surgery and are positioned around the nipple and beneath the breast as well. They are usually easily covered by most swim suits. Many women can still breastfeed following breast lift surgery, if they choose to do so.
Most of my patients return to work 2 days after surgery.

I had my breast augmentation done almost two years ago now. Breast augmentation was something I had thought about doing for a long time. After having four kids in seven years, I was not happy at all with how my breasts looked and knew that breast augmentation surgery was a choice for me.
We heard about Dr. Bashioum on the KQRS morning show and decided to at least go have a consultation with him. I could not have been more impressed with Dr. Bashioum and his staff. They were some of the sweetest people I have ever met. They took time to explain everything to us, were honest, and answered any question my husband or I had.
After my consultation I knew this was the only place I wanted to have my breast augmentation done. I could not have been happier with the results of my surgery. My confidence went up and I loved the way my breasts looked in the shirts and swimsuits that I would never worn earlier because I felt too self-conscious in before.
This fall when Sandy called to ask me if I would like be a part of the Las Vegas KQ live broadcast, I was so excited! My husband and I had always wanted to go, and I knew Dr. Bashioum was a part of the show every year. I never in a million years thought they would ask me to participate! The entire experience was amazing. I was a little bit nervous at first, but it ended up being more fun than I ever expected! I even took part in the sexiest costume contest and won 2nd place ($500)! I want to say thank you to KQ and all of Dr. Bashioum’s staff, especially Sandy, for a great experience. I was honored to be there with you this year.
