Breast Lift Houston, TX | Erika A. Sato, MD, FACS

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to restore youthful shape and elevation to the breasts. Dr. Erika Sato specializes in addressing breast sagging caused by factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift targets the reversal of breast sagging by removing excess skin, lifting the nipples, and creating a more aesthetically pleasing chest contour. The procedure aims to improve breast positioning and overall appearance.

Breast Lift Procedure Details

During the procedure, Dr. Sato will carefully remove excess skin and reposition breast tissue to create a lifted, more youthful appearance. The surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia or IV sedation.

Surgical Techniques

Multiple techniques may be used depending on individual patient needs. Incision patterns can vary, with options including around the areola, vertically from the areola to the breast crease, or under the natural breast crease.
