Mastopexy Breast Lift | Delaware | Abdollah Malek, M.D.

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Delaware

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to address breast sagging caused by factors like weight loss, pregnancy, aging, and gravity. The procedure removes excess skin and tightens surrounding tissue to restore a more youthful and contoured breast shape.

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates for a breast lift procedure include individuals who:

• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Are in good overall medical health
• Experience breast drooping or sagging
• Can commit to proper recovery time

Surgical Approach and Techniques

Dr. Malek employs multiple breast lift techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. The approach depends on the degree of sagging and breast size:

• Periareolar (doughnut) incision for mild sagging
• Circumvertical (lollipop) incision for moderate sagging
• Anchor-shaped incision for more significant breast ptosis

Procedure Details

Breast lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The procedure involves carefully repositioning the nipple and areola, removing excess skin, and tightening surrounding breast tissue to create a more lifted, symmetrical appearance.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect initial bruising and swelling during the first few days after surgery. Most individuals can return to work within a week, provided the job is not physically demanding. Complete recovery may take up to 6 weeks, during which patients should avoid vigorous activities.

Complementary Procedures

A breast lift can be combined with other procedures like breast augmentation or fat transfer to enhance volume and create more comprehensive aesthetic results. Dr. Malek will discuss personalized treatment options during your consultation.
