Breast Lift Cincinnati, OH | Donna Krummen, M.D., Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Time can significantly impact breast appearance. Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and aging can cause breasts to flatten, sag, and lose volume. A breast lift with Dr. Krummen can restore breasts to a higher, more youthful position on the chest.

What is a Breast Lift?

Clinically known as mastopexy, a breast lift aims to return breasts to a higher position on the chest. As support tissues weaken and ligaments stretch, Dr. Krummen removes excess skin and repositions tissue to raise and firm the breasts.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Breasts have lost shape or volume
• Significant breast sagging
• Stretched breast skin
• Flat or elongated breast shape
• Downward-pointing nipples
• Asymmetrical breast appearance

Mastopexy Procedure Options

Dr. Krummen offers three primary incision techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

Incision Techniques

• Areolar Incision:
• Lollipop Incision:
• Anchor Incision:

Breast Lift and Augmentation

While a breast lift repositions existing breast tissue, it does not change breast size. Patients desiring increased volume can combine a lift with breast augmentation during the same procedure.

Recovery Expectations

• Return to work in approximately one week
• Avoid heavy lifting for six weeks
• Wear surgical support bra continuously for one month
• Gradual reduction in swelling and discomfort

Extending Breast Lift Results

• Maintain stable body weight
• Wear supportive undergarments
• Practice good skincare
• Follow post-surgical instructions
