Mastopexy (Breast Lift) in Atlanta, GA

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Mastopexy, or a breast lift, is a body contouring procedure that recontours the breasts by reducing loose skin and tightening surrounding tissue. This cosmetic breast surgery is designed for women experiencing breast sagging due to factors like breastfeeding, weight loss, aging, or gravity.

Breast Lift Benefits

• Reduces breast sagging and droopiness
• Raises and firms up the breasts
• Improves breast form and attractiveness
• Supports breasts with a perkier aesthetic
• Improves nipple location
• Addresses breast asymmetry
• Minimizes areola size
• Decreases potential chafing

Breast Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for a breast lift are physically healthy individuals with stable weight experiencing significant breast sagging. Candidates typically have nipples pointing downward and breasts that sag below the natural crease line.

Surgical Procedure

Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1-2 hours. The procedure involves removing excess skin, repositioning the nipple and areola, and securing breast tissue to achieve a lifted, more youthful appearance.

Incision Types

• Around the areola curvature
• Vertically from areola bottom to breast crease
• Horizontally along the natural breast crease

Recovery Process

Most patients can return to normal work schedules within a few days. Full recovery and return to exercise typically occurs within 6-8 weeks. The surgical team at Plastic Surgery Group of Atlanta will provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions.

Additional Considerations

During consultation, the surgical team will determine whether a breast lift, breast augmentation, or a combination of procedures will best achieve the desired results.
