A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to create a more youthful and uplifted appearance.
Good candidates for a breast lift are individuals who are bothered by sagging or drooping breasts due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Ideal candidates should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure.
There are several breast lift techniques available, including the anchor incision (inverted-T), the lollipop incision (vertical), and the periareolar incision (donut). The choice of technique depends on factors such as the degree of breast sagging, nipple position, and the desired outcome. During your consultation, our plastic surgeon will recommend the most appropriate technique for your individual needs and goals.
A breast lift is primarily focused on lifting and reshaping the breasts, rather than changing their size. However, some individuals may choose to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation or reduction to achieve their desired size and shape. Our plastic surgeon will discuss all available options with you and help you determine the best approach for your goals.
Recovery time can vary depending on factors such as the extent of the procedure and individual healing characteristics. Generally, patients can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days following surgery. Most individuals are able to return to non-strenuous activities within a week, but strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. Our plastic surgeon will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery.
The results of a breast lift are long-lasting, but the breasts will continue to age naturally over time. Maintaining a stable weight and following a healthy lifestyle can help prolong the results of the procedure. While a breast lift does not stop the aging process, many patients are satisfied with their results for many years following surgery.
Like any surgical procedure, a breast lift carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, changes in nipple sensation, scarring, and asymmetry. Our plastic surgeon will thoroughly discuss these risks with you during your consultation and provide you with information on how to minimize the likelihood of complications.
