Understanding Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)

A surgical breast lift is a transformative cosmetic treatment that recontours the breasts by reducing excess skin and tightening remaining tissue to produce a firmer, more youthful appearance. This procedure helps women who have experienced breast sagging due to aging, significant weight loss, or nursing. Recent medical advancements have made breast lift surgery increasingly effective, with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reporting a 70% increase in procedure demand since 2000.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery

Potential breast lift candidates typically exhibit the following characteristics:

• Nipples that angle downward
• Elongated breast appearance
• Excess breast tissue
• Physically healthy and at a stable weight

Surgical Technique

Breast lift surgery typically takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Levesque uses two primary techniques:

• Anchor technique (inverted-T)
• Vertical incision method

During the procedure, loose skin is carefully trimmed, and remaining skin is pulled tight to create a more lifted, youthful breast contour. In many cases, the areola size can be reduced to complement the new breast shape.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a breast lift is more extensive compared to breast augmentation. Patients will wear a support bra and may have a small drainage tube. Swelling typically decreases within several days, with final results becoming apparent after several months.

Cost Considerations

The estimated cost for a breast lift at Levesque Plastic Surgery ranges from $8,625 to $12,300. Costs vary based on individual treatment plans and specific surgical requirements.

• Improved breast shape and symmetry
