Breast Lift in Reston, UT | Erica Anderson, MD, FACS

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to raise sagging breast tissue and reposition the nipple-areola complex to a more youthful position. The technique addresses changes caused by pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, and genetic factors.

Breast Lift Benefits

• Restore previously perky, attractive breast shape
• Raise sagging and drooping breast appearance
• Eliminate excess breast skin and tissue
• Reposition downward-facing nipples
• Improve breast symmetry

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Typical breast lift candidates include women who have:

• Experienced changes from pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Undergone significant weight changes
• Noticed loss of breast volume and skin elasticity
• Maintained a stable weight
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Technique

The breast lift procedure typically involves creating a "lollipop" incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease. This approach allows the surgeon to remove excess skin, reposition breast tissue, and create a more youthful contour.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients can return to work within 7-10 days following the procedure. Full recovery and final results are typically seen 2-3 weeks post-surgery. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks to ensure optimal healing.

Potential Risks and Complications

• Risks associated with general anesthesia
• Potential for skin changes or discoloration
• Possible changes in nipple sensation
• Risk of infection
• Potential need for revision surgery
