When is a Breast Lift (Mastopexy) the right option?

A number of realities of life can create the need for a breast lift or mastopexy. Gravity, age, weight loss, and breast feeding are all factors that can cause breasts to sag or lose their overall perkiness, and possibly affect your overall happiness and self-esteem. If you feel your breasts are sagging or are lower than you would like to have them, you might be a candidate for a breast lift procedure. During your consultation, Dr. Cluett will help you explore all your options to determine if breast lift surgery is right for you.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is a surgical procedure that aims to address deflated-looking or sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tissue and lifting the breasts, so they rest higher on the chest. Overall, this procedure delivers a breast placement that is more youthful and provides overall comfort for you.

Why a Breast Lift over Augmentation (Implants)?

Skin tends to lose its elasticity over time. This can often result in a drooping shape of the breast and result in a deflated look with the nipples pointing downward away from the body. A standard breast augmentation might not be able to achieve your intended results on its own.  A breast lift may help by removing excess skin and adjusting the position of the nipples to give your breasts an overall more youthful shape and position.

Is a referral required for a consultation with Dr. Cluett?

Some consultations will be covered by MCP if you are referred by another physician. If you wish to avoid obtaining a referral it is possible to see Dr. Cluett. This will involve a one-time consultation fee.

Will my treatment be coverable by MCP?

If the concern you have is considered “cosmetic” by MCP standards, your treatment will not be covered. Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure if your treatment will be covered, is to see Dr. Cluett in consultation. After assessing your concerns, she will advise you as to whether or not MCP will cover your procedure based on your history as well as your physical problems.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Debit or cash. We are as well associated with Ifinance Medicard which is a company accustomed to financing cosmetic procedures. We will provide you with the necessary contact information so you can further investigate this option if requested.

Why should I choose a Plastic Surgeon for my cosmetic procedure?

A Plastic Surgeon is a surgical specialist who has completed a minimum of 5 years of study and training in plastic surgery after receiving their initial medical degree. This is different from a cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Cluett is the only female plastic surgeon in Newfoundland and Labrador.
