breast ptosis resulting from pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or
natural aging.

During a breast lift, Dr. Humphrey carefully removes excess skin and
repositions breast tissue to create a more youthful, lifted
appearance. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible
scarring while achieving optimal breast contour.

UNDERSTANDING MASTOPEXY: BREAST LIFT OVERVIEW

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure
designed to restore and enhance breast shape for women experiencing
sagging or ptosis. The procedure addresses breasts that have a
flatter, elongated appearance and nipples that fall below the natural
breast crease.

BREAST LIFT TECHNIQUES

Multiple surgical techniques are available depending on individual
patient needs and the extent of lift required:

 	* Crescent Mastopexy: Minimal incision around the top half of the
areola
	* Vertical Mastopexy: Incision around areola and vertically down the
breast
	* Wise Pattern Mastopexy: Comprehensive "anchor" or inverted "T"
incision

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The mastopexy procedure is performed under general anesthesia at a
specialized surgical center. Surgeons carefully lift and reshape
underlying breast tissue to improve overall breast contour and nipple
positioning.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS FOR CAPE GIRARDEAU PATIENTS

Recovery varies for each patient, but most individuals can return to
non-strenuous work within one week. Patients should avoid exercise and
underwire bras for approximately four weeks to ensure proper healing.

IMPORTANT POST-SURGICAL GUIDELINES

 	* Shower permitted, but avoid submerging incisions
	* Follow surgeon's specific post-operative instructions
	* Attend scheduled follow-up appointments
