Understanding Mastopexy: What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to address breast ptosis caused by factors like genetics, aging, childbearing, breastfeeding, and weight loss. Dr. Zachary Gerut performs this outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, which can be conducted independently or combined with breast reduction or augmentation.
Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery
Healthy adult women experiencing breast sagging are typically excellent candidates for a breast lift. Dr. Gerut recommends that women who plan future pregnancies delay the procedure, as childbearing and nursing can contribute to additional breast drooping.
Breast Lift Surgical Techniques
Dr. Gerut offers two primary breast lift techniques:
- Anchor Procedure (Inverted T): Involves vertical and horizontal incisions beneath the breast
- Lollipop Procedure (Vertical Mastopexy): Preferred technique with a vertical scar from nipple downward
Surgical Process and Technique
During the breast lift procedure, Dr. Gerut carefully removes excess skin, repositions the nipple, reshapes breast tissue, and sutures incisions. The technique ensures minimal scarring while achieving optimal breast elevation and contour.
Surgical Considerations
The procedure is performed in Dr. Gerut's fully accredited surgical suite in Hewlett, Long Island. Anesthesia options include sedation or general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety.
Recovery and Postoperative Care
Patients can expect a supportive recovery process. A compressive bra is worn for 1-2 weeks, and activity is initially limited to walking. Most patients return to work within 7-10 days, with final results becoming apparent around the 6-month mark.
Recovery Highlights
- Supportive bra worn 24/7 for 1-2 weeks
- Limited activity for 2-4 weeks
- Most patients resume normal activities within 7-10 days
- Final aesthetic results visible at 6 months
