Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and genetics can negatively impact breast appearance. Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) helps restore breasts to an aesthetically pleasing shape by removing excess skin and elevating nipples to a more youthful position.

Incision Options

Anchor Incision

The most common breast lift technique ideal for moderate to severe breast sagging. This method involves three strategic incisions:

• Incision surrounding the areola
• Vertical incision from areola bottom to breast crease
• Horizontal incision along breast crease

Benelli (Donut) Incision

A limited incision option for mild breast sagging, using a single incision around the areola to remove excess breast and areolar skin.

Potential Breast Lift Goals

• Restore pre-pregnancy breast appearance
• Elevate breasts to a youthful position
• Reduce oversized areolas
• Achieve natural-looking breast contours

Recovery Insights

Breast lift is an outpatient procedure lasting approximately three hours. Patients can expect temporary bruising and swelling, with full recovery spanning several weeks. A surgical bra is required for proper healing.

Candidate Considerations

Ideal candidates are healthy, non-smoking women experiencing breast sagging who maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Potential Risks

• Anesthesia complications
• Infection
• Potential scarring
• Temporary sensation changes
