Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery addresses sagging and drooping breasts, medically known as breast ptosis. This condition can result from factors like pregnancy, weight loss, aging, and gravity. Dr. Eric Okamoto offers advanced breast lift techniques to help women achieve a more youthful, rejuvenated breast appearance.

Breast Lift Options

Selecting the appropriate breast lift approach depends on individual needs and desired outcomes. Dr. Okamoto evaluates three primary breast lift techniques:

• Traditional Mastopexy: Lifting existing breast tissue
• Reduction-Mastopexy: Reducing breast size during lift
• Augmentation-Mastopexy: Combining lift with implants

Breast Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery typically seek to:

• Improve breast shape and symmetry
• Elevate drooping breast tissue
• Reposition nipples to a more central location
• Achieve a firmer, more youthful breast contour

Surgical Procedure

Dr. Okamoto's breast lift procedure involves removing excess skin, reshaping underlying breast tissue, and repositioning the nipples. The most common technique is the vertical lift, which offers multiple advantages including shorter scarring and enhanced breast projection.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect a two-to-three week initial recovery period. Swelling and bruising are normal, and Dr. Okamoto provides personalized guidance to ensure optimal healing. While results are long-lasting, natural aging and lifestyle factors can influence breast appearance over time.
