About Breast Lift Surgery

Mastopexy (known as a breast lift) is a body contouring procedure that lifts and tightens the breasts by trimming away loose skin and surgically tightening healthy tissue to result in a more youthful and healthier look. This cosmetic breast surgery is offered for Chicago area women who have lost breast firmness, size, and shape due to aging, gravity, weight loss, or pregnancy.

Outstanding advancements in mastopexy techniques have made this aesthetic surgery remarkably effective. New statistics by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reveal nearly a 70% increase in demand since 2000. Board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Saeed Chowdhry of Oak Lawn, IL performs this procedure at SAC Plastic Surgery using the latest methods.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Patients may initially seek implants, but after a private assessment, discover that a breast lift is the better option. Breasts that have lost elasticity typically require skin removal and tightening surgery to reduce laxity and restore a perkier position.

Significant breast sagging below the crease line
Good overall health
Stable body weight

Surgical Technique

A breast lift usually takes two hours or more and is performed under general anesthesia. The surgical technique typically falls into two categories, defined by the size, location, and nature of the incision: inverted-T (anchor) and straight line vertical incisions.

Procedure Steps

Create precise incisions
Remove loose or unhealthy skin
Tighten remaining skin
Reposition breasts higher
Reconstruct and resize areolas if needed

Recovery and Results

Recovery for a breast lift is more extensive than implant-only surgery. Patients will wear a medical compression bra to minimize swelling, with a thin tube inserted near the incision to manage fluid leakage. Swelling typically subsides within a week, with aesthetic results becoming noticeable after a few weeks.
