Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and significant weight loss can cause changes in breast volume and shape. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape breasts, addressing these natural transformations.

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

• Correct sagging caused by aging and gravity
• Elevate or realign nipples that point down or to the side
• Decrease the size of stretched nipple/areola
• Firm the substance of the breast

Breast Lift Procedure Details

The breast lift is an outpatient procedure typically performed under general anesthesia. Duration ranges from one and a half to two and a half hours, depending on skin removal complexity and potential implant placement.

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple. The extent of skin removal depends on factors like nipple position, degree of sagging, and potential implant insertion. The goal is to create a more lifted, symmetrical breast appearance.

Recovery Considerations

Patients are generally recommended to take two weeks off from normal routines. Avoiding strenuous activities for about a month helps ensure optimal healing. A specialized compression garment may be provided to support recovery and maintain surgical results.

Potential Scarring

Surgical incisions may result in scars that can range from a small scar at the areola's upper margin to more extensive "lollipop" or "anchor" shaped patterns. The surgical approach focuses on placing incisions in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring.
