Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Ypsilanti

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, genetics, and weight loss can cause the breasts to sag and flatten. At the Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor, mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, helps women restore their breasts to a more youthful shape and position.

Candidate Characteristics for Breast Lift

Good candidates for breast lift surgery are women in good health who want to achieve:

• Tightening lax, sagging breast skin
• Raising breast tissue higher on the chest
• Reshaping enlarged pigmented areas around the nipples

Breast Lift Procedure Techniques

The breast lift procedure can be performed using various incision techniques depending on the degree of breast ptosis (drooping):

• Circumareolar lift: Incision around the areola for mild lifting
• Lollipop lift: Incision around areola and vertically to breast crease
• Anchor lift: Most comprehensive technique for significant breast drooping

Surgical Approach in Ypsilanti

The Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor offers state-of-the-art surgical care in a Quad A-accredited facility. The procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia with sedation or general anesthesia, with the nipple repositioned and excess skin removed to create a more pleasing contour.

Recovery and Healing

Following a breast lift, patients will receive specific post-operative instructions. Initial recovery involves wearing a supportive bra, with light activities resuming in 7-10 days. Full recovery typically occurs within four weeks.
