What is a Breast Lift?

A surgical breast lift, or mastopexy, is a transformative procedure that redefines breast contours by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissue. This surgical intervention creates a firmer, more youthful breast appearance for women experiencing sagging due to factors like breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, or gravity.

Breast Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for a breast lift include women with:

• Significant breast sagging
• Downward-pointing nipples
• Loss of breast firmness and shape
• Stable body weight

Surgical Technique

Mastopexy typically takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia. The procedure involves two primary incision techniques:

• Inverted-T (anchor) incision
• Vertical incision

Procedure Details

During the surgery, loose skin is removed, and remaining tissue is tightened and repositioned. The nipple-areola complex may be reconstructed and repositioned to achieve symmetry and aesthetic balance.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a breast lift is more extensive compared to breast augmentation. Patients will wear a support bra and may have surgical drains. Swelling typically subsides within the first week, with final results becoming apparent after several months.

Potential Combination Procedures

Plastic Surgery Vegas offers comprehensive breast enhancement options, including combining a breast lift with augmentation or fat transfer to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Frequently Addressed Concerns

• Nipple repositioning
• Breast asymmetry correction
• Long-term result maintenance

Customized Approach

Each breast lift is tailored to the individual's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. During the initial consultation, the surgical team will conduct a comprehensive breast assessment and develop a personalized treatment plan.
