Understanding Mastopexy: Breast Lift Procedure

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to restore youthful shape and elevation to breasts that have experienced sagging. This condition can result from multiple factors, including weight fluctuations, pregnancy, reduced skin elasticity, and gravitational effects.

Comprehensive Breast Lift Techniques

• Restores breast shape and position
• Reduces areolar size if needed
• Can be combined with breast augmentation
• Applicable for breasts of all sizes

Surgical Considerations and Recommendations

Dr. Berger recommends that women planning future pregnancies consider postponing the procedure. Pregnancy and nursing can potentially counteract the surgical results by stretching breast skin and potentially affecting surgical outcomes.

Post-Surgical Recovery and Care

After the mastopexy procedure, patients are advised to wear a supportive bra full-time for several weeks. Return to work depends on individual professional requirements. Dr. Berger typically performs the breast lift on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.

Important Patient Guidance

Patients should avoid purchasing new expensive bras until several months post-surgery, allowing time for complete healing and final breast shape stabilization.
