Mastopexy (Breast Lift) Albuquerque, NM | Albuquerque Center For Plastic Surgery PC

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape and reposition breasts to a more youthful position. Over time, factors such as aging, gravity, weight changes, pregnancy, and nursing can cause breast tissue and supporting skin to become loose and saggy.

Procedure Details

• Repositions breast tissue and nipple to a more elevated position
• Addresses breast sagging caused by aging and lifestyle factors
• Can be performed with or without breast implants

Surgical Considerations

Patients should understand that the procedure involves permanent scarring. Most scars fade significantly over time, and the cosmetic benefits typically outweigh these concerns for most individuals.

Potential Outcomes

While a breast lift can dramatically improve breast shape and positioning, results are not permanent. Natural aging and gravitational effects will continue to influence breast appearance over time.

Breast Lift with Implants

Some patients may choose to combine a breast lift with implants for enhanced volume and shape. The surgical approach will involve more incisions compared to breast augmentation alone.

Important Surgical Considerations

• Potential for temporary nipple numbness
• Swelling and settling period after surgery
• Individual results may vary based on breast tissue and genetics
