Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Alaska

Multiple factors contribute to breast sagging, including breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and natural aging. Plastic Surgeons of Alaska offers breast lift surgery for women throughout the Kenai Peninsula and Mat-Su Valley, including Wasilla and Palmer.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape breast tissue. The operation aims to:

  • Restore breast symmetry
  • Improve breast positioning
  • Enhance overall breast contour

Breast Lift Procedure Details

The breast lift procedure can be performed as day surgery with the following characteristics:

  • Completed under general anesthesia
  • Involves repositioning breast tissue
  • Potential combination with breast augmentation
  • Approximately three-week recovery period

Surgical Considerations

Patients should understand that breast lift surgery:

  • Results in scarring around the areola and beneath the breast
  • Does not address back, neck, or shoulder pain
  • Cannot correct existing stretch marks
  • May require revision after 9-12 months of healing

Potential Risks and Limitations

Like all surgical procedures, breast lift surgery involves potential risks, including:

  • Altered nipple sensation
  • Potential tissue complications
  • Healing variations
  • Possible need for additional surgery

Long-Term Expectations

While a breast lift can significantly improve breast shape, patients should understand that some natural sagging may recur due to gravity and decreased skin elasticity over time.

Medical Considerations

A breast lift does not impact breast cancer risk. Patients should continue routine breast examinations and mammography as recommended by healthcare professionals.
