What Our Patients Are Saying…

The hardest part of your plastic surgery journey is often the process of finding the right plastic surgeon. Obviously the first thing you will want to find out when researching plastic surgeons in your area is their accreditation- are they board certified? Do they belong to any professional membership organizations? Where did they train and what is their experience? These are all facts that you should be able to easily find out and verify. The next thing you’ll need to know is what their reputation is.

One of the best ways to find out about the reputation of a plastic surgeon is by word of previous patients. Reading patient testimonials is a great place to start and offers a first-hand look at the patient experience. Patient testimonials may be viewed easily online. We invite you to read through them. When you are ready to schedule your consultation with Dr. Miles, contact our office and we’ll be more than happy to answer any questions you have at that time and make your appointment.

Charlotte Breast Lift

The effects of gravity, pregnancy, nursing, genetics, and changes in weight effect all areas of the body, particularly the breasts. For women whose breasts have begun to sag, a Breast Lift Procedure, or Mastopexy, may be the answer to achieving more youthful, firm breasts.

During the Breast Lift Procedure an incision is generally made around the areola. The areola and nipple is kept intact to it’s original nerves and blood supply while the surrounding skin is removed and the breasts are repositioned. The areola will then be slightly lifted to it’s new, higher position and the remaining skin is closed around it, creating more youthful looking breasts. For women who are already satisfied with the size of their breasts a breast lift procedure alone may be all that is needed to create the desired results. However, for women who have been dissatisfied with their breasts or who feel their breasts have “deflated,” a breast lift coupled with a breast augmentation may be needed to achieve the outcome that is sought.
