Understanding Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)

Mastopexy, commonly known as breast lift surgery, is a transformative procedure designed to elevate and enhance the shape of sagging breasts. Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, and gravity can cause breasts to lose their youthful appearance. Dr. Richard Vagley specializes in this procedure, which can also reduce the size of enlarged areolas.

Planning Your Breast Lift Surgery

During your initial consultation, Dr. Vagley will thoroughly evaluate your breast size, shape, skin tone, and overall health. A comprehensive physical examination and mammographic study will be conducted. Dr. Vagley will discuss various surgical techniques, potential outcomes, and address any concerns you may have about the breast lift procedure.

Preparing for Your Mastopexy

• Provide a detailed medical history
• Discuss any medications, vitamins, or supplements you're taking
• Receive specific instructions on pre-surgery preparation
• Arrange for post-surgery transportation and assistance

Post-Surgery Recovery

After your breast lift surgery, it's normal to experience some fatigue and discomfort. Most patients can return to normal activities within 24-48 hours. Dr. Vagley will provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including:

• Pain management techniques
• Proper care for bandages and dressings
• Guidelines for wearing a special supportive bra
• Timeline for returning to work and physical activities

Long-Term Results and Considerations

While initial healing occurs within weeks, it may take several months for the full results of your breast lift to become apparent. Dr. Vagley emphasizes the importance of following all post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
