Breast Lift (Mastopexy) in San Antonio, TX | Dr. Daniel Lee

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to restore breast shape and elevate nipple positioning. Board-certified cosmetic surgeon Dr. Daniel Lee specializes in helping women regain youthful breast contours after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or natural aging processes.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Women experiencing breast sagging or downward-pointing nipples
• Patients with loss of breast volume and elasticity
• Individuals seeking to improve breast symmetry and shape
• Women with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure Details

Dr. Lee performs breast lift surgeries at New Life Cosmetic Surgery Center using IV conscious sedation. The procedure involves repositioning the nipple to the center of the breast and reshaping breast tissue to create a more lifted, youthful appearance.

Procedure Highlights

• Performed under IV sedation, avoiding general anesthesia
• Outpatient procedure with same-day return home
• Customized approach based on individual breast anatomy

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect mild discomfort during initial recovery, managed with prescribed pain medication. Most individuals return to work within one week, with full healing occurring over several weeks. Wearing a supportive surgical bra is crucial during the recovery process.

Recovery Guidelines

• Avoid lifting over 5 pounds for first two weeks
• Attend follow-up appointments with Dr. Lee
• Follow post-operative care instructions precisely
