Breast Lift Annandale, VA | Dr. Khalique S. Zahir, MD
Understanding Breast Lift Surgery
Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Factors like pregnancy, nursing, and gravity contribute to breast tissue losing elasticity over time. This procedure helps restore a more youthful breast contour and position.
Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift
- Healthy women with sagging breast tissue
- Breasts that have lost volume or shape
- Women seeking to improve breast symmetry
- Patients with nipples pointing downward
Surgical Procedure Details
Dr. Zahir performs mastopexy as an outpatient procedure using a "lollipop incision" technique. This approach involves making incisions around the nipple and extending to the base of the breast. Excess skin is removed, and breast tissue is repositioned to create a more elevated, contoured appearance.
Breast Lift Procedure Techniques
The surgical approach varies depending on individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals. Potential techniques include repositioning the nipple-areola complex, removing excess skin, and reshaping underlying breast tissue. In some cases, breast implants can be combined with the lift to enhance fullness and size.
Recovery and Results
Post-surgical discomfort is typically managed with medication and subsides within a few days. Patients can expect minimal scarring, as incisions are strategically placed around the nipple and beneath the breast. The objective is to create higher, well-contoured breasts with a natural appearance.
Breast Lift Considerations in Annandale, VA
While a breast lift can significantly improve breast shape and position, it cannot permanently prevent the effects of aging and gravity. Results may vary based on breast size, skin elasticity, and individual healing processes.
