Breast Lift Fredericksburg, VA | Dr. Harold C. Bautista, MD

What is a Breast Lift?

Mastopexy (breast lift) is a cosmetic treatment designed to lift and tighten breasts by removing excess skin and reshaping existing tissue. This body contouring surgery helps women restore breast shape and volume lost due to weight changes, pregnancy, or aging. Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg offers advanced breast lift techniques tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Technique

A breast lift procedure typically takes approximately two hours and is performed under anesthesia. The surgical approach depends on the degree of breast sagging and desired outcome. Two primary incision techniques are commonly used:

• Inverted-T (anchor) incision
• Vertical incision

Procedure Steps

During the surgery, the plastic surgeon will:

• Remove loose or unhealthy skin
• Eliminate unwanted fat and tissue
• Tighten remaining skin
• Lift and reshape breast tissue
• Potentially reduce areola size to match new breast contour

Benefits of a Breast Lift

Patients receiving a breast lift at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg can experience multiple advantages:

• Long-lasting aesthetic improvements
• Enhanced breast firmness
• Improved breast symmetry
• Corrected nipple and areola positioning
• Increased self-confidence
• Better-fitting clothing options

Ideal Candidates

Breast lift surgery is ideal for women experiencing breast sagging or volume loss. Candidates should be in good overall health, maintain a stable weight, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can expect a recovery period of approximately one week. Results are typically long-lasting, though natural aging and significant weight fluctuations may impact breast appearance over time.

Consultation and Planning

During the initial consultation, Dr. Harold C. Bautista will comprehensively evaluate the patient's breast anatomy, discuss aesthetic goals, and develop a personalized surgical approach.
