Breast Lift
First

Before & After Breast Lifts

Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure to raise and correct saggy breasts. Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, weight fluctuations and the force of gravity take their toll on a woman’s breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag.

Breast lifts can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple. If your breasts are small or have lost volume – for example, after pregnancy – breast implants can be inserted in conjunction with breast lift.

Who are the Best Candidates for a Breast Lift

Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with Dr. Lacerna. The best candidates for breast lifts are healthy, emotionally-stable women who are realistic about what the surgery can accomplish. The best results are usually achieved in women with small, sagging breasts. Breasts of any size can be lifted, but the results may not last as long in heavy breasts.

Decisions about your Breast Lift

Dr. Lacerna in Sarasota will examine your breasts and measure them while you’re sitting or standing. She will discuss the variables that may affect the procedure – such as your age, the size and shape of your breasts, and the condition of your skin – and whether an implant is advisable. You should also discuss where the nipple and areola will be positioned; they’ll be moved higher during the procedure, and should be approximately even with the crease beneath your breast.

I believe that a sense of well-being stems from feeling good, looking good, and having meaning and accomplishment in your life.

What Our Clients Are Saying

Real Patients. Real reviews.


I've had 3 different procedures with Dr. Lacerna. I'm very happy with all the results. One of my procedures took me 5 years to decide on which doctor as all the information I researched said it was a very hard procedure with a lot of problems. I'm very happy I chose Dr. Lacerna

There are not enough words to express how wonderful Dr Lacerna is. She is highly skilled, kind, warm, honest and caring. She is truly an artist when it comes to her work. Her compassion and concern for her patients is overwhelming. She goes above and beyond to satisfy her patients needs and requests. I am in the medical profession and I would recommend Dr Lacerna for any of your plastics surgery or asthetic needs. Her staff is also amazing. So kind and helpful with scheduling and any other needs
Aimee Hall in Bradenton, FLMay 29, 2018

I had a tummy tuck on 2/26 from Dr Lacerna at her Sarasota office and the results are phenomenal. I am a mommy of 4 boys (all before age 28) and as a result of pregnancies my abs separated and she was able to repair them during my tummy tuck. Also, she went above and beyond by also liposuctioning my sides and back to really give me a great contour. I feel absolutely amazing and finally gained by confidence back! I would recommend her to all my family and friends!
Amanda in Ellenton, FLApr 06, 2018

Dr. Lacerna can make a rock into beautiful art. She has transformed my body. She is the best in her field and uses the latest devices. Excellent bedside manner, caring and attention to detail, impeccable follow up and loving staff! Look no further, she is worth every penny and she is one of the best kept secrets! I will 100% see her again!
M. Crane in Bradenton, FLMay 20, 2018

Dr. Lacerna is the best kept secret with magical Golden hands. I had a tummy tuck 5 yrs ago and last month had Tumescent Lipo with Vaser skin tightening for the flanks/back and Co2 laser with NEW J Plasty Plasma to remove chest wrinkles. She is double board certified, has a great bedside manner and an impeccable follow up. But most important she is artist with the ability to transform and sculpt the body into something beautiful (when it didn’t start out that way). Highest recommendations!
Melissa in Tampa, FLMar 06, 2018

Dr. Lacerna did an amazing job on my tummy tuck. I gave her “wish pics” and she far surpassed those. I couldn’t be any happier with my results! I wouldn’t go to any other surgeon for procedures, she is a true artist. The staff was awesome as well and they all kept me at ease. I can’t say enough wonderful things about her skill as a surgeon!!
Becky in Ellenton, FLMar 05, 2018

I would chose Dr Lacerna again if I had to do another surgery. Now I have amazing body and improved self esteem! My surgery recovery time went as expected. No complications. Her office staff was very informative. Overall, she is the best surgeon for breast augmentation. She will recommend the right size to make it look natural.
I. B. in FloridaMar 04, 2018

I have had several procedures with Dr Lacerna and all have gone tremendously well. I am so satisfied with the final outcomes; I would not even think of going to another surgeon. She is very professional, knowledgeable and pleasant both before and after the procedures. Her staff is excellent and always available; even on week-ends there is a nurse on call and I could not be happier with my surgeries, post op care and all follow up. I highly recommend her and her practice.
Eleanor in LBK, FLMar 03, 2018

I have had a tummy tuck, filler in my face, Dr. Lacerna is a great plastic surgeon. Takes the time to explain what she can do for you. Very friendly. She has done wonders for me. I have recommended her to several friends. They saw my face after having fillers put in and they were amazed. Her office staff are very kind. Her staff that takes care of you in her room are the best. Very friendly they remember you. They are the best
Laura in Bradenton, FLMar 02, 2018
