Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Birmingham, Alabama

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to rejuvenate and reshape breasts that have lost their youthful contour. Over time, factors like pregnancy, weight changes, aging, and genetics can cause breasts to sag and lose firmness.

Who is a Good Candidate for Breast Lift?

• Physically healthy individuals with stable weight
• Non-smokers
• Patients experiencing breast sagging or loss of shape
• Individuals with nipples falling below the breast crease
• Those with stretched skin and enlarged areolas

Breast Lift Procedure Techniques

Hedden & Gunn Plastic Surgery offers multiple breast lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The three primary incision patterns include:

• Donut incision (around the areola)
• Lollipop incision (around areola and vertically down)
• Anchor incision (around areola, vertically, and horizontally along breast crease)

Surgical Approach in Birmingham, Alabama

During the procedure, plastic surgeons lift and reshape underlying breast tissue, reposition nipples and areolas, and remove excess skin. The goal is to create a more youthful, lifted breast profile that enhances the patient's natural contours.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect immediate visible improvements, with final results developing over several months. Swelling will resolve, and incision lines will fade, revealing a more refined breast shape.

Important Considerations

• Best performed after completing childbearing
• Results can be impacted by significant weight fluctuations
• Permanent results depend on maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle
