Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a popular procedure in Austin, TX, performed by Dr. Adam Weinfeld to restore a youthful, firm breast appearance. Aging, weight loss, or implant removal can lead to breast sagging (ptosis) and loss of volume. A breast lift repositions breast tissue and removes excess skin, resulting in higher, rounder, and firmer breasts.

Reasons for a Breast Lift

Over time, factors such as age and gravity cause the breast tissue to sag. This sagging leads to a lower nipple position, longer breast appearance, and diminished upper fullness. Additionally, implant removal can lead to immediate breast deflation. Women who seek to regain a more youthful breast appearance often choose a breast lift.

The Breast Lift Procedure

A mastopexy involves reshaping and lifting breast tissue while removing excess skin. The goal is to create a firmer breast shape and reposition the nipple-areolar complex (NAC) to a higher position. Dr. Weinfeld uses advanced techniques to reduce scarring and preserve nipple sensation, with options to include liposuction for optimal contouring.

Patient Recovery

Most breast lift surgeries are outpatient procedures, with a recovery period ranging from a few days to a week. Patients are encouraged to avoid strenuous activities for two weeks and wear a supportive bra during recovery.
