Am I a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?
Think you might be a candidate? Dr. Hardy can let you know for certain during your one-on-one breast lift consultation in Polson, MT. Good candidates meet the following criteria:

Breastfeeding and pregnancy can both affect the position and volume of your breasts. You'll need to finish growing your family prior to exploring a breast lift, so that the results won't be reversed.
You Have Realistic Goals
Dr. Hardy will listen to you throughout your mastopexy consultation. He'll kindly make sure that you know exactly what is possible. For example, patients who want fuller breasts will need breast implants as well as a breast lift.
You're in Good Health
Your health always comes first. Our surgeon will thoroughly assess factors like your weight, medical conditions, and overall health before planning your breast lift. If you smoke, he will wait until you've quit.

Our doctor offers gummy bear implants, made from cohesive silicone gel. They're often preferred by plastic surgeons for their realistic feel and appearance. By placing these implants with an inframammary incision, Dr. Hardy can minimize scarring.
