Breast Lift (Mastopexy) in Annandale, VA

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Multiple factors like pregnancy, nursing, and gravity contribute to breast tissue changes over time, leading to loss of elasticity and shape.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Healthy women with sagging breast tissue
• Patients seeking improved breast contour and positioning
• Individuals with breasts of various sizes

Surgical Technique and Procedure

Mastopexy is performed as an outpatient procedure using a specialized "lollipop incision" technique. During surgery, excess skin is removed, and breast tissue is repositioned to create a more youthful, elevated appearance.

Surgical Details

• Incisions made around nipple and base of breast
• Excess lower breast skin removed
• Nipple and areola repositioned higher
• Sutures closed under breast and around nipple area

Procedure Outcomes and Expectations

The primary objective of mastopexy is to create higher, well-contoured breasts. While permanent scarring occurs, strategically placed incisions ensure minimal visibility, even in low-cut clothing.

Additional Considerations

For patients with reduced breast volume, breast implants can be inserted simultaneously to enhance fullness and size. Post-surgical pain is typically minimal and easily managed with medication.

Recovery and Aftercare

Most patients experience minimal discomfort, with pain subsiding within one to two days. Patients should follow all post-operative instructions provided by Aesthetique Cosmetic & Plastic to ensure optimal healing and results.
