Understanding Mastopexy: Restoring Breast Youthfulness

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to restore youthful shape and elevation to breasts that have experienced sagging. Factors such as weight loss, pregnancy, decreased skin elasticity, and gravitational effects can contribute to breast ptosis, which this surgical technique effectively addresses.

Comprehensive Breast Lift Techniques

• Corrects breast sagging and loss of volume
• Reduces areolar size for enhanced aesthetic appearance
• Can be combined with breast augmentation or reduction
• Suitable for breasts of all sizes

Procedure Considerations for Potential Patients

Patients planning future pregnancies should consider postponing a breast lift, as pregnancy and nursing can potentially counteract surgical results by stretching breast tissue. Additionally, the procedure may impact breastfeeding capabilities.

Surgical and Recovery Details

Dr. Berger typically performs mastopexy as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Patients will need to wear a supportive bra full-time during initial recovery weeks. Return to work depends on individual professional requirements.

Post-Surgical Recommendations

Patients are advised to delay purchasing new bras until several months post-surgery, allowing time for swelling to subside and final breast shape to stabilize.
