Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Procedures

The silhouette of the breasts plays a significant role in body image and self-confidence. Over time, factors like aging, gravity, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can impact breast shape and position, causing sagging and loss of youthful perkiness.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, addresses breast ptosis by reshaping and elevating the breasts to a more aesthetically pleasing position. Renaissance Plastic Surgery's surgeons specialize in restoring breast contour while preserving nipple sensation.

Breast Ptosis Classification

• Mild Ptosis: Nipple at inframammary fold level
• Moderate Ptosis: Nipple below inframammary fold
• Advanced Ptosis: Nipple well below fold, pointing downward

Breast Lift vs. Augmentation

Renaissance Plastic Surgery offers tailored approaches to breast enhancement:

• Breast Lift: Reshapes and elevates breasts by removing excess skin
• Breast Augmentation: Increases breast size using implants
• Combined Procedure: Lifts and increases breast volume

Surgical Procedure Details

A breast lift is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 1.5 to 3 hours. The surgery involves removing excess skin, reshaping tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola while preserving sensation.

Recovery Expectations

Patients typically require one to two weeks off work. Initial tenderness and swelling are normal, with final results becoming visible after several weeks. Surgeons recommend sleeping on the back and avoiding strenuous activities during recovery.

Candidacy and Considerations

Ideal candidates are individuals dissatisfied with breast sagging who are not planning immediate pregnancy. The procedure can restore breast shape and boost self-confidence.
