BREAST LIFT (MASTOPEXY) MINNEAPOLIS, MN | RICHARD H. THOLEN, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Aging, genetics, pregnancy, nursing, weight loss, and gravity can
cause breasts to lose elasticity, firmness, and shape. A breast lift
(mastopexy) corrects these conditions by removing excess breast skin
and tightening remaining tissues to produce a firmer, shapelier breast
contour.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BREAST LIFT

The best candidates for breast lift surgery are healthy women who:

 	* Have adequate breast volume
	* Desire a more youthful and uplifted breast appearance
	* Are realistic about surgical incisions and resulting scars
	* Experience sagging due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss

SURGICAL APPROACH

Minneapolis Plastic Surgery's board-certified plastic surgeons
carefully measure and mark breast tissues to create a new skin
structure. Incision patterns are designed to minimize scarring while
achieving optimal breast shape and elevation.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES

Breast lift procedures involve:

 	* Removing excess skin around the areolas and breast undersides
	* Elevating nipple/areola complexes
	* Repositioning breast tissue to a higher chest position
	* Optional volume restoration with implants

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients typically resume normal activities within days, with full
recovery taking several weeks. Post-operative instructions are crucial
for optimal healing and results. Most patients experience significant
improvement in breast shape and self-confidence.

POTENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Potential for minor sensation changes
	* Permanent surgical scars
	* Mild asymmetry may persist

COST CONSIDERATIONS

Breast lift surgery at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery ranges
approximately from $13,000 to $16,500, depending on specific
techniques and patient needs. Precise costs are determined during a
personalized consultation.

BREAST LIFT MINNEAPOLIS, MN | JACOBSON PLASTIC SURGERY - PLYMOUTH

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT PROCEDURES

Age, pregnancy, heredity, weight fluctuations, and breastfeeding can
significantly impact breast appearance. These factors can cause
breasts to sag, become uneven, and lose volume. A breast lift
procedure, medically known as mastopexy, addresses these concerns by
revitalizing breast shape and creating a more youthful appearance.

WHEN TO CONSIDER A BREAST LIFT

Breast lift surgery is ideal for women experiencing:

 	* Significant breast sagging
	* Stretched areolae from nursing
	* Uneven breast symmetry
	* Loss of breast firmness and projection

BREAST LIFT PROCEDURE DETAILS

During a breast lift, the plastic surgeon carefully selects the most
appropriate technique based on individual breast characteristics. This
includes evaluating breast shape, skin elasticity, and the degree of
sagging. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and
involves removing excess skin, repositioning areolae, and reshaping
breast tissue.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES

Patients have multiple options to enhance their breast lift results.
Fat grafting can be used to add volume without implants, while some
patients opt for a combined breast augmentation with lift to achieve
more comprehensive reshaping.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a compression garment to
support new breast shape and minimize swelling. Most patients return
to normal activities within one week, though strenuous activities
should be avoided. Results include improved breast symmetry,
projection, and a more youthful appearance.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

While a breast lift provides significant aesthetic improvements,
patients should understand that natural aging processes will continue.
The procedure offers long-lasting results, helping breasts look their
best as a woman ages.
