Best Candidates
Our breast lift procedure is ideal for women whose breasts have lost shape or volume. It is also important that breast lift candidates are physically healthy, maintain a stable weight, and do not smoke.
Loved my experience here! Dr. Kitto is great and took the time to answer all of the questions I had. Most doctors won’t spend an hour with you one on one but Dr. Kitto spent our entire one hour consultation in the room with me. I left feeling much more at ease about my surgery.

The procedure
There are several incision methods that can be used when performing a breast lift, and the technique we choose will depend on your breast size and shape, the degree of sagging, the amount of excess skin, and the condition of your skin. Dr. Kitto will make the necessary incisions, will lift and reshape the breast tissue into its new contour. The procedure takes no longer than three hours to perform. Once the desired lift is achieved, incisions are closed with either stitches, tissue adhesive, or surgical tape. Scars will mature and fade over time.
Recovery process
After your breast lift surgery, you will be transported to a comfortable recovery room where you will slowly wake up from the anesthesia in the company of our caring staff. Post-surgical effects may include bruises, swelling, and discomfort. Any numbness in the breasts and nipples should lessen as the swelling subsides. Stitches are removed after two weeks, at which time you may return to work
Dr. Kitto is amazing! She is so personable but very professional at the same time! You know that she really cares about her patients and wants to do the Best thing that will help you achieve “the why” you are seeking her care. The office is beautiful and it reflects the quality of work that she does.

The results speak for themselves- I get compliments all the time of “have you gone on vacation?” or have you had a “nice relaxing time- you look so good”? or just “wow you look Great!”.
