Breast Lift Tupelo, MS | Craig Mark MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging breasts and restore a more youthful, elevated breast contour. Patients experiencing breast ptosis due to aging, pregnancy, or significant weight changes can benefit from this transformative surgery.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Mark Craig utilizes advanced surgical techniques to perform breast lift procedures. The typical approach involves three strategic incisions:

• Incision around the areola for precise tissue repositioning
• Vertical incision from areola to breast crease
• Horizontal incision following the natural breast curve

Candidacy for Breast Lift

Ideal candidates for a breast lift are women who:

• Are generally satisfied with breast size
• Experience significant breast sagging
• Are in good physical and mental health
• Are non-smokers

Procedure Details

Breast lift surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The average surgical time ranges from 1-3 hours, with most patients able to return home the same day.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect gradual improvement in breast shape over 6 months. Initial results are visible immediately, with final contours emerging as post-surgical swelling subsides. Most patients can return to work within one week, with full recovery taking several weeks.

Complementary Procedures

A breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation for patients seeking enhanced size and fullness alongside improved breast positioning.

Potential Benefits

• Restored breast position
• Improved breast symmetry
• Enhanced self-confidence
