Types of Breast Lifts

“Dr. Maercks’s technique is very cutting edge, unique, and makes so much sense.”

What is FEMMA-S?

Dr. Maercks has developed FEMMA-S, a unique breast reduction technique to achieve aesthetic goals that cannot be addressed conventionally. In this technique, the natural appearance of a supported breast is achieved without an implant. The patient will have beautiful projection and cleavage using nothing their very own tissue. This method is a result of Dr. Maercks being dissatisfied with conventional techniques for the breast lift procedure, which lift the breast tissue yet leave behind scars and also tend to create an unnatural, flat, and often square-looking appearance. 

Dr. Maercks’s FEMMA-S breast reduction technique provides beautiful results with well-hidden scars and an attractive augmented appearance, even in the most ptotic and deflated large breasts. No implants are used in this method — only the natural tissue of the breast. There is also no anchor scar, which many patients don’t want. In addition, FEMMA-S utilizes the sling of the pectoralis major muscle, which provides a great amount of support.

“The techniques Dr. Maercks uses are so special that I barely felt any post-surgery pain.”

What is the Scarless Breast Lift?

Dr. Maercks also a new type of breast augmentation procedure called Cold Subfascial Breast Augmentation©. Also called the “Scarless Breast Lift”, this procedure allows patients with pendulous breasts and flatter, elongated breasts to achieve the appearance of a lifted breast without a scar, as the entire procedure can be performed through a small incision in the armpit. 

This technique creates the most natural-looking results, with optimal longevity. Combining art, aesthetic sensibilities, and anatomical knowledge, Dr. Maercks developed this technique to provide supported, long-term control of breast shape and cosmetic appearance. In Cold Subfascial Breast Augmentation, the fascia (a thin layer of strong tissue within the breast) is elevated off the pectoralis major muscle, and the implant is placed inside this strong layer, which acts almost like a bra inside the breast. Not only does placing the implant within the fascia provide extra support; it also allows Dr. Maercks to customize the shape of the breasts to fit the patient’s unique chest wall. Instead of an “implant shape” to the breasts, it appears much more natural and harmonious with the patient’s body. In addition, the unparalleled support holds the implant in place and stops it from putting pressure on the breast tissue and skin. 

Cold Subfascial Breast Augmentation truly allows exceptional control compared to other techniques.

Patient Testimonials

“After breastfeeding the best kid I ever met for three years (I’d do again and loved every second of it), I ended up with saggy breasts. Even though I don’t care so much about my looks, my boobs really bothered me. So, after many visits, I chose to have a breast lift with fat grafting (no silicone implant...transfer some of my own fat from my muffin top) with Dr. Rian Maerks. I just can’t say enough good things about himself and his team! His technique is very cutting edge (no pun intended), unique and makes so much sense. They were fantastic at explaining everything and making me feel very comfortable with the whole process, which was very foreign to me. Dr. Maerks is so careful, gentle, confident, knowledgeable, and clearly a true perfectionist! On top of that, they are all fun, lovely people! If you’re looking for a plastic surgeon, look no more! You just found him.”

“I could not have had a better experience getting my breast augmentation with Dr. Rian Maercks. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, and he exudes warmth. He actually fixed a Miami boob job gone wrong for me. The results....PHENOMENAL. The techniques he uses are so special that I barely felt any post-surgery pain. And best of all, I did not think my breasts had the potential to look this AMAZING! If you’re looking for a top-notch surgeon who will be kind and supportive every step of the way and give you gorgeous result, look no further!”
