During a breast lift, a plastic surgeon removes excess skin and reshapes breast tissue to raise the breasts and nipples on the chest. Cuts called incisions may be made around the darker areas surrounding the nipple, called the areola. Incisions also may be made downward to the breast creases and straight across along the creases.
