Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Macon, GA

The silhouette of the breasts plays a significant role in body image and self-confidence. Over time, factors like aging, gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations can impact breast shape, causing sagging. A breast lift, medically known as Mastopexy, addresses these concerns by reshaping and elevating the breasts to a more aesthetically pleasing position.

Breast Ptosis Classification

Breast ptosis (sagging) is classified based on the nipple's position relative to the inframammary fold:

Mild Ptosis: Nipple at the inframammary fold level
Moderate Ptosis: Nipple below the inframammary fold
Advanced Ptosis: Nipple well below the fold, pointing downward

Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation

Renaissance Plastic Surgery offers nuanced approaches to breast enhancement:

Breast Lift: Reshapes and elevates breasts by removing excess skin
Breast Augmentation: Increases breast size using implants or fat transfer
Combined Procedure: Lifts and increases breast volume simultaneously

Surgical Procedure Details

A breast lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 1.5 to 3 hours. The surgery involves removing excess skin, reshaping tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola while preserving sensation.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients require one to two weeks of recovery. Initial healing involves bandages, surgical bra wear, and temporary tenderness. Swelling may persist for several weeks, with final results becoming apparent gradually.
