Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in McLean

A surgical breast lift (mastopexy) is a body contouring procedure that reshapes and lifts sagging breasts. The technique involves removing excess skin and tightening existing tissue to create a more youthful and healthier breast appearance. This cosmetic procedure addresses breast ptosis caused by factors like breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, and gravity.

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery offers multiple transformative benefits for patients experiencing breast sagging:

• Restored breast shape and position
• Elevated nipples and areolas
• Reduced stretched-out skin
• Improved self-esteem
• Enhanced breast attractiveness
• Reduced breast irritation

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Women with low-hanging breasts who are in overall good health typically make excellent candidates for breast lift surgery. Patients experiencing significant breast tissue sagging, downward-pointing nipples, or breasts that fall below the chest crease line are prime candidates for this transformative procedure.

Surgical Technique

Dr. Mesbahi employs two primary incision techniques: the inverted-T (anchor) method and the doughnut technique. The surgery typically takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia, during which excess skin is carefully trimmed and breast tissue is repositioned for a more aesthetically pleasing result.

Recovery and Results

Recovery involves wearing a support bra and following detailed post-surgical care instructions. Swelling typically subsides within several days, with final aesthetic results becoming evident after several months as breasts settle into their new position.

Additional Considerations

Patients can combine breast lift with implants or undergo the procedures separately, depending on individual aesthetic goals. Dr. Mesbahi recommends maintaining a stable weight and completing family planning before the procedure to ensure long-lasting results.
