Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift procedure, medically known as mastopexy, is designed to reshape the breasts and create a more youthful, perky appearance. This surgical technique addresses breast changes caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging, helping patients restore breast contour and improve self-confidence.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Candidates for breast lift surgery typically experience:

• Breast ptosis (sagging or drooping breasts)
• Nipples positioned below the breast crease
• Asymmetrical breast shape
• Loss of breast volume and firmness

Surgical Approach

Stefan M Szczerba, MD carefully evaluates each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. The breast lift procedure involves strategic incision patterns to remove excess skin and reshape breast tissue, potentially including:

• Periareolar incision (around the areola)
• Vertical incision (lollipop pattern)
• Anchor pattern incision

Procedure Details

During the surgery, the plastic surgeon will reposition the nipple and areola, remove redundant skin, and sculpt the remaining breast tissue to create a more elevated, symmetrical breast contour. Anesthesia is administered by professional anesthesiologists to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients are advised to rest for several days following the surgery. Light activities can typically resume after two weeks, with full recovery taking 4-6 weeks. Support garments and specific post-operative instructions help optimize healing and surgical outcomes.

Potential Combination Procedures

Breast lift can be combined with additional techniques such as:

• Breast augmentation with implants
• Fat grafting
• Internal breast tissue adjustment
