Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery, medically known as mastopexy, addresses drooping breasts caused by factors like gravity, aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and genetics. The procedure tightens breast tissue, removes excess skin, and elevates breasts to a more youthful position on the chest.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Suitable candidates for breast lift surgery typically include women who experience:

• Sagging or deflated breasts
• Stretched nipples and areolas
• Loose breast skin

Candidates should have realistic expectations, be non-smokers, and maintain good overall health.

Surgical Technique

Breast lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. The surgical approach varies depending on the degree of sagging. For minimal correction, surgeons may use an incision around the areola. More extensive corrections utilize an "anchor" incision, which extends around the areola, vertically down the breast, and horizontally along the breast crease.

Surgical Procedure Details

During the procedure, breast tissue is carefully tightened and repositioned. Excess skin is removed, and incisions are closed using precise suturing techniques. The specific approach is determined during an initial consultation based on individual patient needs.

Potential Combination Procedures

For comprehensive body contouring, patients can combine breast lift with other procedures like breast augmentation or tummy tuck as part of a Mommy Makeover. This approach is particularly popular among mothers seeking to restore their pre-pregnancy body contours.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment to minimize swelling and promote healing. Patients may experience temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising that typically subsides within one to two weeks. Most patients return to work after one week, though strenuous activities should be avoided for up to a month.

Long-Term Expectations

Breast lift results include firmer, lifted breasts positioned higher on the chest. While the procedure provides long-lasting improvements, factors like weight fluctuations, future pregnancies, and natural aging can impact breast appearance over time.
