Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery addresses multiple factors contributing to breast sagging, including breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and natural aging processes. Plastic Surgeons of Alaska provides comprehensive breast lift procedures 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 focuses on:

Repositioning breast tissue
Restoring breast symmetry
Enhancing overall breast contour

Procedure Details

Plastic Surgeons of Alaska performs breast lift surgery as an outpatient procedure. Patients can expect:

Day surgery with general anesthesia
Compressive wrapping to minimize complications
Restricted arm movements during initial recovery
Approximately three weeks for full activity resumption

Surgical Considerations

Patients should understand that breast lift surgery involves incisions around the areola and beneath the breast. While surgeons minimize scarring, some visible marks are inevitable due to the procedure's nature.

Potential Surgical Outcomes

Important considerations include:

Potential changes in nipple sensation
Possibility of future surgical revisions
Natural breast aging continues after surgery

Medical Precautions

Plastic Surgeons of Alaska recommends patients:

Cease smoking 2-3 weeks before and after surgery
Maintain regular breast cancer screenings
Follow all pre and post-operative instructions carefully

Breast Cancer Screening

A breast lift does not increase or decrease breast cancer risks. Patients should continue routine mammograms and self-examinations as recommended by healthcare professionals.
