Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

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. A breast lift, medically known as Mastopexy, addresses these concerns by reshaping and elevating the breasts to a more aesthetically pleasing position.

Mastopexy: Comprehensive Breast Restoration

Renaissance Plastic Surgery specializes in breast lift procedures performed by board-certified plastic surgeons with extensive experience. The intricate procedure involves carefully repositioning areolas and nipples while preserving sensation and achieving optimal aesthetic results.

Breast Ptosis Classification

Breast sagging is classified into three degrees based on nipple position:

• Mild Ptosis: Nipple at inframammary fold level
• Moderate Ptosis: Nipple below inframammary fold
• Advanced Ptosis: Nipple significantly below fold

Breast Lift vs. Augmentation

Understanding the difference between procedures is crucial:

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

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 and Expectations

Most patients require one to two weeks of recovery. Initial tenderness and swelling are normal, with final results becoming visible after several weeks. Patients must follow post-operative instructions carefully to ensure optimal healing.

Consultation and Personalized Approach

Renaissance Plastic Surgery offers comprehensive consultations using advanced VECTRA 3-Dimensional Imaging to help patients visualize potential outcomes. Each procedure is tailored to individual anatomical needs and aesthetic goals.
