Breast Lift Pensacola, DC | James Frost, MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Pregnancy, weight loss, and natural breast development can result in breasts that lack an ideal shape. Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, raises and firms breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue to reshape and support a new breast contour.

Breast Lift Candidacy

Breast lift surgery is often recommended for patients who have experienced:

• Loss of breast firmness due to pregnancy
• Changes from breastfeeding
• Aging-related breast shape modifications
• Hereditary breast development issues
• Significant weight loss effects

Procedure Details

The surgical process involves creating strategic incisions around and beneath the areola, typically forming an anchor shape. During the procedure, underlying breast tissue is reshaped and lifted to improve firmness and contour.

Surgical Technique

• Incision placement around and beneath the areola
• Reshaping of underlying breast tissue
• Repositioning of nipple and areola
• Removal of excess breast skin
• Closure with beneath-skin sutures

Procedure Specifications

Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis, typically taking two or more hours to complete. The procedure focuses on improving breast shape without significantly changing breast size.

Potential Side Effects and Risks

Patients may experience temporary side effects such as:

• Pain
• Bruising
• Temporary numbness

While James Frost, MD takes extensive precautions, potential surgical risks include:

• Potential loss of sensation
• Possible scarring
• Potential healing complications

Complementary Procedures

For patients desiring additional breast enhancement, James Frost, MD recommends considering combination procedures such as breast augmentation or breast reduction to achieve optimal aesthetic results.
