Breast Lift

Delaware rates for HCPCS 19316

Reshapes and raises a sagging breast by removing excess skin, tightening the remaining skin envelope and moving the nipple and areola to a higher position on the breast. Breast tissue itself is repositioned rather than removed, so size changes little. It is done for breasts that have drooped after weight loss, pregnancy or with age.
