Understanding Breast Lift Surgery
Most women experience changes in breast appearance as they age. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, time, and gravity can cause round, youthful breasts to sag, droop, and lose their shape. A breast lift in Chicago from Dr. Sammy Sinno or Dr. Thomas Mustoe can restore the youthful shape and feel of the breasts, potentially improving confidence and self-image.
Surgical Procedure Details
Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is performed to lift, firm, and reshape breasts that have sagged due to various factors. During the procedure, surgeons:
- Remove excess, sagging skin
- Reposition underlying tissue for improved shape
- Lift the entire breast and nipple to a higher, more youthful placement
- May enhance breast size with implants if desired
Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery
The procedure is ideal for healthy women at a stable weight who are satisfied with their breast size but want to improve shape and position. It can also address issues like breast asymmetry, enlarged nipples, or stretch marks.
Combining Procedures
Many patients benefit from combining a breast lift with breast augmentation to optimize shape. This can address volume loss in the upper breast portion that cannot always be corrected by lifting alone. Fat transfer is another option for patients who do not want implants.
Cost and Pricing in Chicago
Breast lift prices vary depending on the complexity of the procedure:
- Dr. Mustoe: Breast lifts without implants start at $8,500 and can reach $13,000 for complex cases
- Dr. Sinno: Breast lifts without implants range from $7,000 to $8,500
Recovery and Results
With extensive research and experience, Dr. Mustoe and Dr. Sinno have refined techniques to minimize recovery time. Most patients manage post-surgical discomfort with over-the-counter pain medication and can return to light activities within days.
