Breast Lift Leawood, KS | Quinn Plastic Surgery: Dr. John Michael Quinn

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a sophisticated breast contouring procedure designed to address the natural effects of gravity, aging, and breastfeeding. Quinn Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center specializes in elevating and reshaping the bust line to provide patients with a beautiful, natural body contour.

What is Breast Ptosis?

Breast ptosis refers to the sagging of breasts caused by various factors such as:

• Age-related changes
• Significant weight loss
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Genetic predisposition

Degrees of Breast Sagging

Dr. Quinn assesses breast ptosis through four distinct classifications:

• Degree 1: Nipple-areola complex level with inframammary crease
• Degree 2: Nipple-areola complex below inframammary crease by 3 cm or less
• Degree 3: Nipple-areola complex more than 3 cm below inframammary crease
• Pseudoptosis: Nipple-areola above crease with substantial tissue below

Surgical Technique

Dr. Quinn exclusively performs breast lifts using an anchor pattern incision, which provides optimal lifting and reshaping. This technique involves strategic incisions around the areola, from the areola to the breast crease, and along the breast crease.

Procedure Details

The breast lift procedure typically takes one to three hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Quinn carefully removes excess skin, potentially resizes the areolas, and reshapes breast tissue to create a more elevated and youthful appearance.

Ideal Candidates

Women considering a breast lift may be good candidates if they:

• Have experienced significant weight loss
• Have completed breastfeeding
• Are unhappy with breast positioning
• Want to address age-related breast sagging

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery typically requires several days to a week off work. Patients will receive detailed post-surgical instructions, including guidance on wearing supportive garments and managing initial discomfort.

Complementary Procedures

A breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation for patients desiring both lift and increased volume. Dr. Quinn often recommends this approach during personalized consultations.

Cost Considerations

Breast lift pricing is personalized and depends on individual surgical requirements. A comprehensive consultation with Dr. Quinn will provide an accurate cost estimate tailored to your specific needs.
