Breast Lift in Maryville, IL | Ryan Diederich

Understanding Breast Lift Procedures

Women from Maryville, Edwardsville, and around St. Louis, MO may experience changes in breast tissue over time. Factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, and gravity can lead to a deflated breast appearance. Dr. Ryan Diederich performs mastopexy, a surgical technique designed to restore a more youthful breast shape.

Reasons Women Consider a Breast Lift

• Pregnancy-related changes
• Post-breastfeeding breast tissue settlement
• Weight fluctuations
• Age-related breast tissue transformation
• Gravity's impact on breast shape

Breast Lift Procedure Overview

During a breast lift, Dr. Diederich removes excess skin, tightens surrounding tissue, and repositions the areola. The procedure aims to create a more lifted, symmetrical, and youthful breast contour.

Important Procedure Considerations

A breast lift can create a more youthful appearance, but it will not significantly change breast size. In some cases, the breast may appear slightly smaller after the procedure. To achieve upper breast fullness, a breast implant might be recommended.

Preparing for Your Breast Lift

Patients may need to complete specific pre-surgery requirements, including:

• Medical evaluations and lab testing
• Medication adjustments
• Baseline mammogram
• Smoking cessation at least 6 weeks before and after surgery

Potential Risks and Complications

Like all surgical procedures, breast lifts carry potential risks, including:

• Scarring
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Changes in breast or nipple sensation
• Asymmetry
