Mastopexy (Breast Lift) Fort Lauderdale, FL

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening surrounding tissue. The procedure helps restore a more youthful, lifted breast contour for patients experiencing breast ptosis.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery

• Women experiencing breast drooping or loss of breast volume
• Patients with nipples that point downward or fall below the breast crease
• Individuals with asymmetrical breast shape
• Women seeking to restore breast shape after pregnancy or significant weight loss

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Lisa J. Learn employs multiple mastopexy techniques tailored to individual patient anatomy and aesthetic goals. Surgical approaches may include:

• Periareolar lift (around the areola)
• Vertical lift (lollipop incision)
• Anchor or inverted-T lift

Breast Lift Procedure Details in Fort Lauderdale

The mastopexy procedure typically involves repositioning the nipple-areola complex, removing excess skin, and reshaping breast tissue to create a more elevated, symmetrical appearance. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 2-3 hours.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial recovery to take approximately 1-2 weeks, with complete healing occurring over several months. Surgical compression garments and limited physical activity are typically recommended during the initial healing phase.

Potential Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, breast lift surgery carries potential risks including changes in nipple sensation, scarring, and asymmetry. Dr. Lisa J. Learn conducts comprehensive consultations to discuss individual patient risks and expected outcomes.
