Mastopexy (Breast Lift) in New Orleans, LA | Magnolia Plastic Surgery & Medspa

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery is a sophisticated body contouring treatment designed to redefine breast shape by reducing loose skin and surgically tightening existing tissue. This procedure addresses breast drooping caused by factors such as breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, and gravity. Plastic surgeon Dr. Heath Charvet utilizes state-of-the-art techniques to help patients achieve their desired aesthetic goals.

Key Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

• Reduces breast limpness and drooping
• Lifts and tightens breast tissue
• Enhances breast form and aesthetic appeal
• Improves nipple shape and positioning
• Addresses breast symmetry
• Creates a more youthful, raised breast appearance

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Candidates for breast lift surgery typically experience significant breast sagging with nipples pointing downward. The ideal patient is physically healthy, maintains a stable weight, and seeks to improve breast shape and position. Dr. Charvet conducts comprehensive assessments to determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

Surgical Procedure Details

The breast lift procedure typically takes approximately two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Charvet employs two primary incision techniques: the anchor technique (inverted-T) and the vertical incision method. During surgery, excess skin is removed, breast tissue is repositioned, and the breasts are lifted to create a more youthful contour.

Recovery and Expectations

After the procedure, patients will wear a medical compression bra to minimize swelling. A small drainage tube may be inserted to manage fluid. Full results become visible within several weeks as the breasts settle into their new position. Dr. Charvet provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing.

Customized Surgical Planning

Each breast lift is uniquely tailored to the patient's specific anatomy and aesthetic goals. During the initial consultation, Dr. Charvet performs a comprehensive evaluation to recommend the most appropriate technique, whether that involves a lift alone or in combination with other procedures.
