Mastopexy (Breast Lift) Louisville, KY | F. Ryan Wermeling, MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a sophisticated cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape and appearance of breasts. This rejuvenation technique can restore a more youthful, firm, and lifted breast contour by addressing sagging and asymmetry.

What is a Breast Lift?

Mastopexy is an elective surgery that raises and reshapes breast tissue to improve appearance. The procedure may involve:

• Repositioning breast tissue
• Removing excess skin
• Reshaping areolas for improved symmetry

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift can provide significant aesthetic improvements for women experiencing breast changes due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.

• Restore a perky breast shape
• Reposition downward-pointing nipples
• Remove excess skin contributing to sagging
• Correct breast asymmetry

Surgical Procedure Overview

Breast lift surgery typically takes one to two hours and involves careful surgical techniques. Dr. Wermeling customizes each procedure to individual patient needs, using precision incision techniques and tissue repositioning to achieve optimal results.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect an outpatient procedure with approximately six weeks of recovery. Initial return to work is possible after one week, with full activity resumption around eight weeks post-surgery. Patients must maintain realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Ideal Candidates

Optimal breast lift candidates include healthy, non-smoking women seeking to improve breast shape and symmetry. Candidates should have realistic expectations about surgical results and be in good overall physical health.
