Breast Lift Fredericksburg, VA | Dr. Howard P. Heppe, MD

What is a Breast Lift?

Mastopexy (breast lift) is a cosmetic treatment designed to lift and tighten breasts by removing excess skin and restructuring existing tissue. This body contouring surgery helps women who have experienced breast shape changes due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Board-certified plastic surgeons at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg implement advanced techniques to address varying degrees of breast sagging.

Breast Lift Surgical Procedure

The breast lift procedure typically takes approximately two hours and is performed under anesthesia. Surgeons utilize two primary incision techniques: the inverted-T (anchor) and vertical approaches. During surgery, loose skin is removed, and remaining tissue is tightened to create a more youthful breast contour.

Key Surgical Steps

• Remove excess skin and unwanted tissue
• Tighten remaining breast tissue
• Reposition nipple-areola complex
• Optional implant insertion

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

Breast Lift Consultation and Customization

During the initial consultation, surgeons thoroughly assess individual breast characteristics and aesthetic goals. Each surgical plan is personalized to address specific concerns such as breast asymmetry, tissue laxity, and desired outcome.

Recovery and Results

Breast lift recovery typically requires approximately one week. Results can last many years with proper care, though natural aging and significant weight fluctuations may impact long-term outcomes. Surgeons recommend maintaining a stable weight and completing childbearing before undergoing the procedure.
