What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift procedure, or mastopexy, is a surgical technique designed to raise and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. The goal is to create more youthful, naturally shaped breasts with improved contour and positioning.
Types of Breast Lift Techniques
Crescent Lift
A minimal breast lift technique involving a small incision along the upper edge of the areola. This method is ideal for patients with minimal breast sagging and can be performed alone or in combination with breast augmentation.
Lollipop Lift
This technique extends the periareolar incision vertically down from the areola to the breast crease. It is particularly effective for patients with moderate breast drooping who desire improved breast shape without implants.
Anchor Lift
Used for patients with significant breast ptosis, this comprehensive technique involves incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease. It provides maximum breast reshaping for patients with substantial sagging.
Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery
Ideal candidates for a breast lift include women who experience:
- Breasts that have lost shape and volume after pregnancy or weight changes
- Nipples and areolas pointing downward
- Asymmetrical breast shape
- Significant skin laxity in breast tissue
Procedure Overview
DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery performs breast lift procedures under general anesthesia. The specific technique is customized based on individual patient anatomy, breast condition, and aesthetic goals. Incisions are carefully placed to minimize visible scarring and optimize breast reshaping.
Recovery and Results
Patients typically require 1-2 weeks of initial recovery, with full results becoming apparent after 3-4 months. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks and follow post-operative care instructions closely.
Cost Considerations
Breast lift procedures at DiFrancesco Plastic Surgery generally range from $10,000 to $15,000, depending on the complexity of the technique and individual patient needs.
