Mastopexy (Breast Lift) in Winston-Salem, NY | Scott L. Tucker, M.D.

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to reshape the breasts and reposition the areolas. This transformative procedure is typically recommended for women who have experienced significant breast changes due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or substantial weight loss.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Women with sagging or deflated breasts after multiple pregnancies
• Patients who have undergone significant weight loss
• Individuals seeking to restore breast shape and symmetry

Breast Lift Procedure Details

The breast lift operation is performed under general anesthesia or heavy sedation with local anesthetic. During the procedure, excess skin is carefully removed, and the nipple is repositioned to achieve a more youthful breast contour. The skin is strategically tightened around the breast glands to create a lifted, rejuvenated appearance.

Surgical Technique

• Removal of excess skin below the breast
• Repositioning of nipple and areola
• Tightening of remaining breast skin
• Optional areola resizing

Recovery and Healing

Patients can typically expect a full recovery period of approximately one month. Most individuals can return to desk jobs within 10 to 14 days following the procedure. A supportive bra is essential during the healing process to ensure optimal results.

Post-Surgical Care

• Wear supportive bra throughout recovery
• Pain medication prescribed for initial healing week
• Scars typically fade over time and are hidden by standard bras
