Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, addresses breast sagging caused by factors like gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and genetics. The procedure restores breast aesthetics by removing excess skin and tissue while elevating nipples to a more youthful position.

Breast Lift Incision Techniques

Anchor Incision

The most common technique for moderate to severe breast sagging, the anchor incision involves three strategic incisions:

• Incision around the areola
• Vertical incision from areola bottom to breast crease
• Horizontal incision along the breast crease

Benelli (Donut) Incision

Ideal for mild breast sagging, this technique uses a single incision around the areola to remove excess skin and provide subtle lifting results.

Breast Lift Goals

Restoring Breast Aesthetics

Breast lift surgery can help women achieve multiple aesthetic objectives:

• Restore pre-pregnancy breast appearance
• Elevate breasts to a more youthful position
• Reduce oversized areolas
• Create natural-looking, balanced breast contours

Recovery and Expectations

Breast lift is an outpatient procedure typically lasting three hours. Patients can expect temporary bruising and swelling, with complete recovery taking approximately six weeks. A surgical bra is required for proper healing during the initial recovery period.

Candidacy and Considerations

Ideal candidates are healthy, non-smoking women with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. The procedure is customized to address individual breast characteristics and aesthetic goals.

Combining Procedures

Breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation for enhanced results, particularly for patients experiencing volume loss or desiring improved breast shape and size.
