Portland, ME, August **, 2014: Owner and Founder of The Plastic Surgery Center, Dr. Verne Weisberg posted a new blog on his website entitled, “How Do I Know If I Need a Breast Lift?” Even though this is one of the most commonly asked questions, Dr. Weisberg says it is not the real essence of the question women are looking to have answered.

Dr. Weisberg states that, “Women know the simple answer. If the nipple is pointing downward and is below the inframammary fold, the skin fold beneath the breast, a breast lift is needed. This indicates that there is a deeper essence to the question. In most cases the real question turns out to be, “Will a breast lift alone give me the look I want?”

According to Dr. Weisberg, “A consultation with a reputable surgeon will provide the answer. However, it is important to be certain that the surgeon with whom you are consulting is giving you the advice that is going to satisfy you. You are the only one who knows the look you want to achieve. So be very selective and only consult with surgeons whose work you admire or whose reputations are stellar. You do not want to have to have corrective surgery because you are unhappy with the results.”

About Dr. Weisberg

Dr. Verne Weisberg is board certified with two surgical specialties. His first board certification is in otolaryngology (ENT), after three years of training at the prestigious Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City. Dr. Weisberg was then privileged to complete his plastic surgical residency at Yale University, after which he was invited to join the faculty. While a resident at Yale, Dr. Weisberg spent several months at New York University Medical Center and Manhattan Eye and Ear Hospital where he studied aesthetic surgery. In 1987, Dr. Weisberg was appointed Assistant Professor of Surgery (Plastic) by Yale University, where he taught the general surgery and plastic surgery residents. During that time, he developed a love for clinical practice and cosmetic surgery, especially after having developed the first university-based aesthetic surgery practice on his own.

For more than 26 years, Dr. Weisberg has developed the premier Aesthetic Surgical Practice in northern New England. As a double-boarded surgeon, he is uniquely trained in all aspects of facial plastic surgery with a special interest in rhinoplasty, both primary and revisional, as well as face-lifting. Dr. Weisberg enjoys performing the full variety of aesthetic plastic surgery, especially body contouring after weight loss as well as breast augmentation and lifting. Dr. Weisberg has been a pioneer in limited incisional surgery for reducing breasts, and has introduced cutting edge procedures and has written many articles on advanced techniques in aesthetic and cosmetic surgery.
