Understanding Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)

Breast lift surgery is a specialized procedure designed to address breast sagging and reshape breast contours. Over time, factors like pregnancy, nursing, and weight fluctuations can cause breasts to lose their natural firmness and shape.

Key Procedure Details

• Surgical technique to raise and reshape sagging breasts
• Can reduce areola size if desired
• Optional breast implant insertion for additional volume

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

The best candidates for mastopexy are healthy, emotionally stable women with realistic expectations. Patients typically have:

• Small to moderate breast size
• Stretched skin from pregnancy or weight changes
• Desire to restore breast shape and firmness

Surgical Procedure Overview

The breast lift typically involves an anchor-shaped incision that follows the natural breast contour. The procedure reshapes breast tissue, repositions the nipple, and removes excess skin to create a more youthful appearance.

Recovery and Results

Recovery involves wearing a surgical or support bra for several weeks. Patients can expect some temporary bruising and swelling. Most individuals return to normal activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery taking several months.

Important Considerations

• Permanent surgical scars
• Potential temporary loss of nipple sensation
• Results may change with future pregnancies or weight fluctuations
