Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Boston

A mastopexy, or breast lift, is a cosmetic procedure that restores breast shape and contour by lifting breasts and nipples to a more elevated position. Over time, factors like gravity, pregnancy, and weight changes can cause breast tissue to stretch, resulting in sagging and decreased breast firmness.

What Causes Breast Sagging?

Breast sagging occurs due to multiple factors, including:

• Weight fluctuations
• Hormonal changes
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Natural aging process
• Reduction in collagen production

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

• Elevates breasts to a more youthful position
• Addresses downward-pointing nipples
• Creates natural-looking results
• Improves overall body proportions
• Resolves breast asymmetry
• Reduces skin irritation

Breast Lift Procedure Techniques

Dr. Jeffrey Lee offers three primary breast lift techniques:

• Periareolar mastopexy: Circular incision around areola
• Lollipop mastopexy: Circular and vertical incisions
• Inverted-T mastopexy: Circular, vertical, and horizontal incisions

Ideal Candidates

Candidates for breast lift surgery typically:

• Experience breast ptosis from pregnancy or weight changes
• Are in good overall health
• Have realistic expectations
• Are non-smokers or willing to quit before surgery

Recovery and Results

Initial recovery takes approximately one week, with full results visible after several weeks. Patients can return to desk work within a week and resume full physical activities after six weeks.

Complementary Procedures

Dr. Lee often recommends combining breast lift with breast augmentation for enhanced volume and shape.
