Breast Lift Houston, TX | Rafi S. Bidros, MD, FACS

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to reposition and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. At MyBodyMD Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rafi Bidros provides personalized breast lift consultations to address breast ptosis (sagging) and restore a more youthful breast contour.

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

• Enhancing breast firmness and fullness
• Firming skin for a smoother look
• Revising drooping and sagging
• Amending breast asymmetry
• Adjusting areola and nipple position
• Minimizing irritation under the breasts

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

A breast lift may be appropriate for women who:

• Are in good overall health
• Maintain a stable weight
• Do not smoke
• Have realistic surgical expectations
• Experience breast sagging or loss of shape
• Have elongated breasts with downward-pointing nipples

Surgical Technique

Dr. Bidros utilizes specialized Galatea® surgical scaffolds during breast lift procedures. This innovative technique provides extra tissue support, helping patients achieve long-lasting results and minimize potential complications. The specific incision pattern is customized based on individual breast characteristics, including size, shape, skin elasticity, and degree of sagging.

Incision Patterns

• Around the areola perimeter
• Around the areola with vertical descent to breast crease
• Circumareolar, vertical, and horizontal along breast crease

Procedure Details

Performed under general anesthesia, the breast lift procedure involves lifting and reshaping underlying breast tissue, repositioning the nipple and areola, and potentially reducing enlarged areolas. The Galatea surgical scaffold provides additional structural support, ensuring optimal surgical outcomes.

Recovery and Results

Patients will wear a supportive bandage or bra during initial healing. Surgical results are immediately visible, with final outcomes emerging as post-surgical swelling resolves. Incision lines will gradually fade, revealing restored breast contours.
