Understanding Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)

Breast lift surgery addresses breast sagging (ptosis) caused by factors such as childbearing, significant weight loss, or aging. As breasts lose skin elasticity and volume over time, they can become less firm and positioned lower on the chest. A mastopexy procedure can restore a more youthful, elevated breast contour.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Healthy patients without nicotine use for over one month
• Stable weight maintained for six months
• Experiencing breast drooping from weight loss, breastfeeding, or aging
• Maintaining realistic surgical expectations

Breast Lift Procedure Objectives

Dr. Brown's surgical goals for a breast lift include:

• Creating a more round and attractive breast shape
• Reducing areola size and stretched appearance
• Improving breast projection
• Repositioning breasts higher on the chest wall
• Enhancing overall breast firmness

Surgical Technique

The breast lift procedure involves strategic incision placement based on the degree of breast ptosis. Incision types range from circumareolar for minimal sagging to an "anchor pattern" for more significant lifting. Dr. Brown meticulously reshapes breast tissue, removes excess skin, and carefully sutures to minimize scarring.

Recovery Expectations

Patients should plan for a six-week recovery period, avoiding vigorous activities and heavy lifting. Individual recovery times may vary, and Dr. Brown provides personalized post-operative guidance during consultation.

Additional Considerations

A breast lift alone may not significantly increase breast volume. In cases where patients desire fuller upper breast volume, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation for optimal results.
