Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Sugar Land, TX | Tuan A Vu MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and recontour sagging breasts. Multiple factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, and gravity can cause breasts to lose their shape and firmness. This procedure helps restore a more youthful breast contour and shape.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

The best candidates for breast lift surgery are individuals in good physical and emotional health with realistic expectations. While any breast size can be lifted, smaller sagging breasts typically achieve longer-lasting results. The procedure focuses on reshaping and repositioning breast tissue rather than changing breast size.

Comprehensive Surgical Approach

Dr. Tuan A Vu offers a personalized approach to breast lift surgery, carefully considering several critical factors:

• Breast tissue elasticity
• Nipple and areolar positioning
• Severity of breast sagging
• Individual aesthetic goals

Surgical Technique and Incision Patterns

Breast lift can be performed under IV sedation or general anesthesia in a certified surgical suite. Surgery duration ranges from 1-3 hours, depending on the specific technique required.

Common Incision Patterns

• Periareolar incision (around the areola)
• Vertical incision (areola to breast crease)
• Anchor-shaped incision (around areola, vertically down, and along breast crease)

Surgical Procedure Details

During the procedure, breast tissue is carefully lifted and reshaped to improve contour and firmness. The nipple and areola are repositioned, and excess skin is removed to compensate for lost elasticity.

Recovery and Healing

Breast lift is an outpatient procedure with a structured recovery process. Patients can expect:

• Initial bandaging and supportive garments
• Minimal discomfort managed through medication
• Return to normal activities within 1 week
• Full recovery and resume strenuous exercises after 4 weeks

Important Considerations

While breast lift results are long-lasting, they are not permanent. Factors such as gravity, pregnancy, aging, and weight fluctuations can impact surgical outcomes.
