Understanding Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)

Breast lift surgery is a precise cosmetic procedure designed to lift and reshape breasts by adjusting their size, contour, and elevation. The surgical technique removes excess skin and tightens surrounding tissues to provide enhanced support and a more youthful breast appearance.

Reasons for Breast Lift Considerations

Breast shape and firmness naturally change over time due to various factors:

• Age-related skin elasticity loss
• Pregnancy and hormonal changes
• Significant weight fluctuations
• Genetic predisposition
• Gravitational effects

Personalized Breast Lift Procedure

Each breast lift is uniquely tailored to individual anatomical characteristics. The procedure involves comprehensive techniques that address specific patient needs, including lifting underlying breast tissue, improving firmness, and repositioning areolas for optimal aesthetic results.

Surgical Technique Considerations

Key variables influencing the breast lift procedure include breast size, shape, areola position, degree of sagging, and skin elasticity. The surgical approach focuses on creating a more lifted, symmetrical, and aesthetically pleasing breast profile.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care

Recovery experiences vary by individual, but general guidelines help ensure optimal healing:

• Wear a soft, supportive post-surgical bra
• Limit strenuous activities during initial healing
• Prioritize rest and follow medical recommendations
• Avoid smoking to promote proper healing

Patient Expectations

Patients may experience temporary tenderness around the areola. Dr. Gottlieb provides personalized recovery instructions to support each patient's unique healing process.
