As a premier Minneapolis / St. Paul breast surgeon, Dr. Harrington has the ability to raise, reposition and reshape the breasts and, when necessary, reduce the size of the areolas. When performing breast lift surgery, Dr. Harrington makes several incisions, allowing her to create flaps and remove excess skin. The breasts are then reshaped, repositioned and sutured in place.
There are a several variations and advanced techniques in breast lift surgery. Dr. Harrington will determine the best treatment option for you after carefully examining the anatomy, size, shape and skin quality of your breasts.
