Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Procedure

Mastopexy is a surgical procedure designed to correct mammary ptosis, commonly known as breast sagging. This condition can develop due to various factors including aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and significant weight changes.

Common Signs of Breast Ptosis

• Elongated breast shape
• Nipple positioned below breast crease
• Downward-pointing nipples
• Stretched areola

Surgical Techniques for Breast Lift

Wise Pattern Mastopexy

The Wise Pattern technique involves a "key-hole" shaped incision that creates an anchor-like scar. This method is most appropriate for women with moderate to high degrees of breast sagging. The procedure involves:

• Circular incision around the areola
• Vertical incision from areola to breast crease
• Horizontal incision along the breast crease
• Surgical lifting of breast tissue

Circumareolar Mastopexy

A less invasive technique designed for women with mild breast ptosis. This method involves an incision around the nipple-areolar complex, removing excess skin and using a purse-string suture to tighten the breast envelope.

Breast Lift Considerations

While incision scars are permanent, they typically fade and improve in appearance over time. The procedure aims to create a more youthful and lifted breast profile with long-lasting results.

Potential Combination Procedures

In some cases, Dr. Orlando Cicilioni may recommend breast augmentation in conjunction with a breast lift, particularly for patients desiring increased breast volume or experiencing significant breast volume loss.
