Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

As a result of pregnancy, nursing, or the body's natural aging process, many women experience breast sagging. A breast lift (mastopexy) can help restore a firmer, perkier breast silhouette for a more youthful appearance.

When a Breast Lift May Be Recommended

• Breasts are sagging or drooping
• Nipples point downward
• Patient has completed childbearing
• Patient maintains a stable body weight
• Patient has realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Breast Lift Procedure Options

Hamilton Surgical Arts offers multiple breast lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

The Anchor Incision

The most common surgical approach involving three strategic incisions: around the areola, vertically from the areola to the breast crease, and horizontally along the breast crease. This technique allows comprehensive breast reshaping and excess skin removal.

The Lollipop Incision

A technique designed to minimize scarring by eliminating the horizontal incision, offering a more discreet surgical approach for eligible patients.

The Periareolar or "Donut" Incision

The most minimally invasive option, involving a single incision around the areola. While offering the least visible scarring, this method is not suitable for all patients.

Surgical and Recovery Details

Breast lift procedures are typically performed on an outpatient basis using general or local anesthesia. Most surgeries take approximately two hours. Patients can expect:

• Initial bed rest following surgery
• Potential use of surgical dressings or post-surgical bra
• Temporary swelling and bruising
• Return to work within one week
• Gradual resumption of physical activities over 4-6 weeks

Potential Combination Procedures

Many patients choose to combine breast lift with breast augmentation to achieve enhanced size and improved breast positioning. During consultation, surgeons can help determine the most appropriate approach for individual aesthetic goals.

Selecting the Right Breast Lift Approach

Choosing the appropriate breast lift technique requires careful consideration of individual anatomy, aesthetic desires, and surgical recommendations. Hamilton Surgical Arts' experienced surgeons provide personalized consultations to develop optimal treatment plans.
