Mastopexy (Breast Lift) Fort Wayne, IN | Summit Plastic Surgery, P.C.

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to restore and reshape breasts that have lost firmness due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or aging. Summit Plastic Surgery specializes in personalized breast lift techniques that elevate the nipple and restore a youthful breast contour.

Breast Lift Procedure Overview

• Repositions nipple to a more aesthetically pleasing level
• Reshapes breast tissue for improved contour
• Addresses breast ptosis (sagging) through specialized techniques
• Potential combination with breast augmentation for enhanced volume

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

The best candidates for a breast lift are healthy, non-smoking individuals experiencing breast shape changes. Patients should have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes and be committed to proper post-operative care.

Surgical Techniques and Approach

Summit Plastic Surgery offers three primary breast lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Periareolar lift: Minimal incision around the areola
• Modified lift: Areola and vertical breast incision
• Full lift: Anchor-shaped incision providing maximum reshaping

Procedure Details

The breast lift surgery typically takes three to four hours and is performed as an outpatient procedure. Patients can expect comprehensive guidance throughout the surgical journey, from initial consultation to post-operative recovery.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves specific guidelines to ensure optimal healing. Patients are typically advised to:

• Take 1-2 weeks off work
• Avoid heavy lifting for 2-3 weeks
• Wear a surgical support bra
• Sleep on their back during initial healing

Potential Considerations

While breast lift surgery can dramatically improve breast appearance, patients should understand potential outcomes, including minimal changes in breast size and possible temporary nipple sensation alterations.
