Breast Lift Ashburn, VA | Larry H. Lickstein, MD, FACS

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape breasts, creating a more youthful and lifted appearance. Board-certified plastic surgeons carefully reposition breast tissue to restore a patient's desired breast contour and address concerns related to sagging or asymmetry.

Reasons for Breast Lift Surgery

• Age-related breast tissue weakening
• Post-pregnancy breast changes
• Significant weight loss effects
• Improving breast symmetry and shape

Breast Lift Procedure Overview

The breast lift procedure typically involves strategic incisions that allow surgeons to remove excess skin, reshape breast tissue, and reposition the nipple and areola. Depending on individual patient needs, different incision techniques may be utilized:

• Periareolar (Donut Lift) - Incision around the areola
• Vertical (Lollipop Lift) - Incision around areola and vertically down the breast
• Standard (Anchor Lift) - More comprehensive incision pattern for significant reshaping

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Optimal breast lift candidates are individuals in good overall health with realistic expectations. Patients should have stable weight and be finished with childbearing, as future pregnancy can potentially alter surgical results.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to normal activities within two weeks, with complete healing occurring over several months. Surgical techniques are designed to minimize scarring and provide long-lasting, natural-looking breast enhancement.
