Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to redefine breast contours by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissue. This transformative surgery offers women a solution for restoring breast firmness and shape compromised by factors such as pregnancy, weight loss, aging, and gravity.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Plastic Surgery Vegas utilizes cutting-edge mastopexy techniques, with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons reporting a remarkable 70% increase in breast lift procedures since 2000. The surgical approach is customized based on the individual patient's unique breast anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Candidate Evaluation

Ideal breast lift candidates typically demonstrate:

Significant breast sagging or ptosis
Nipples pointing downward
Stretched breast skin
Stable body weight
Good overall health

Mastopexy Procedure Details

The breast lift procedure typically takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia. Surgeons employ two primary incision techniques:

Inverted-T (Anchor) incision
Vertical incision

Surgical Process

During the procedure, excess skin is removed, tissue is reshaped, and breasts are elevated to create a more youthful appearance. Areola reconstruction and potential size modification may also be performed to enhance symmetry and proportion.

Recovery and Results

Recovery from a breast lift requires more time compared to breast augmentation. Patients will receive a support bra and specific post-operative care instructions. Swelling typically subsides within the first week, with final results becoming apparent over several months.

Long-Term Considerations

Breast lift results can be long-lasting with proper care. Factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and natural aging can impact surgical outcomes. Maintaining a stable weight and following post-operative guidelines are crucial for preserving results.

Customized Surgical Approach

Plastic Surgery Vegas offers personalized consultations to determine the most appropriate breast lifting technique. The surgical team carefully evaluates individual anatomy, aesthetic goals, and potential combination procedures like augmentation to achieve optimal results.

Dr. Edwards is a highly skilled professional in his field. After years of implant problems and 4 surgeries (not by Dr.Edwards)I went to him for help. He was kind, compassionate extremely knowledgeable and so very patient. He spent an hour with me reviewing and discussing options. I chose to have my implants removed and he was understanding and nonjudgmental. My surgery was a breeze. He followed up continually to ensure I was healthy and pleased with the results. I would highly recommend him for breast augmentation or removal. You will not find a finer physician in Las Vegas that cares about you and his performance. I know this because I went to three other surgeons in Las Vegas before making my decision. Thank you so very much Dr. Edwards and your fine team at the surgery center and the office.

Dr Edwards’s left me with a deformed breasts that has a visible “bubble” even through my clothes! And the implant is lying flat against my chest and I believe it has flipped over as you can see the fill “hole” which I believe is for inflating the implant. This “bubble” is so noticeable that I can’t wear anything fitted I went to Dr Edwards’s because I heard he was good with patients with a condition called “Capsular Contracture”. It’s where scar tissue builds up around the implant. When I met Dr Edwards’s he claimed he had only one patient have the condition reoccur. That sounded promising so I scheduled the surgery. However, the condition did reoccur but there are other bigger problems now! Prior to my surgery with Dr Edwards’s he never addressed another important issue I had with an area of a thin tissue area until the day of surgery. This area is right above my right breast which now shows the “bubble” which is the fill “hole of the implant. By placing an extra layer of Strattus (tissue) to cover this area where the Implant is now Exposed would’ve solved this problem! Edwards later “admitted he should have placed” this crucial piece of tissue! Dr Edwards’s Failed to do his job, but still wanted me to have another surgery! My right chest has a visible “bubble” But, to make matters worse, if I have another surgery to correct this, I could lose both nipples!! A few years earlier (when the surgery was done) my husband and I went to talk with Dr Edwards to discuss options with him but he was so volatile from the beginning! He was shouting at us and I didn’t know why? Even his nurse was very aggressive and shouting more than the doctor! Then Dr Edwards accused us of asking for “Free Surgery” all the while Raising his Voice and screaming ~ Now I understood the reason behind his actions! We never asked him anything regarding money or fees once during our visit! That has to be what he was concerned with! We were so Shocked by this ~ All We Could do was Walk out as we didn’t know what else to do! ~ I have read reviews from other patients ~ they said similar things: “You have a disrespectful MA who says things that are inappropriate” “That the MA “Bullies the Patients” Another patient “Chris” “She ended up having to paying for another surgeon to completely remove and replace what you refused to admit your mistakes were” And that Her “Implants flipped Over” and “The “Stitching came out” “She pleaded and Cried in Horrible Pain while in your office but it fell on deaf ears” as “You chose to not hear her then you Turned and walked out - never to Return” Dr Edwards is not a Capable Plastic Surgeon for any complicated breast surgeries!! I am Proof of that! The only types of surgery he is capable of performing is in the simplest first time Breast Implants maybe a second time breast implant exchange! If the surgery is at all complicated, like mine was, he’s just not qualified! Even though he assured me he was! If you have a difficult third, fourth or reconstructive surgery then I would not recommend Dr Edwards for your breasts! He just doesn’t have the extended education or knowledge to perform any type of complicated procedures. Nor does he have the talent regardless of how many years he claims he’s been in the Air Force, Board Certified Plastic That doesn’t make Dr Edwards’s a better or even a good Plastic Surgeon! Anything he wrote below is just nonsense! Almost any doctor/surgeon can remove old implants, scrape out old scar tissue and replace them with new implants that’s just plastic surgery 101. Dr Edwards’s is definitely not an ideal or good option! I uploaded my pictures here on Google but they removed them. I would recommend going out of town, maybe California or Florida. Las Vegas is fairly limited! I am being 100% honest and only stating the facts here. This is your body, your choice and you may not get another opportunity!

First off I'll say I am using another name as to remain anonymous. My first several experiences with Dr Edwards was amazing. He had the best bedside manner I had experienced with a plastic surgeon. Definitely made me feel like I was top priority and not just another patient. Unfortunately that all changed as soon as there were issues regarding my surgery. A few weeks after surgery I had significant pain. I told him I was concerned the stitching came undone because of the pain I was in and that it appeared to be bottoming out already. He assured me that was nearly impossible and he's never had a patient where the pain lasted forever and to give it time. I continued to give it time but pain never eased up or subsided in any way. The other breast was left dented underneath in the fold and was not settling into place nicely. Months later while discussing a revision, He was clear he would not touch the dented breast and it would be left as is. And he wasn't sure what he would do to the left bottoming out breast with pain. I was upset with our conversation and cried explaining I felt like i wasn't being understood, he handed me a tissue and walked out never to come back! I couldn't believe it. That made it perfectly clear that in fact I wasn't being heard or understood and he didn't seem to care. I've never experienced something like this from a doctor. Fast forward, I had other consults and found a surgeon I trusted to see what was going on and recently fixed both of my breasts. During my first post op with him I was informed that in fact, all my stitching on the left breast with pain had come undone like I suspected, which explains the pain and bottoming out. Not only that, my implant was flipped! Having to find another surgeon cost me another $15 grand to fix my health concerns which Dr. Edwards should have taken much more seriously. I only wish I had chosen this other surgeon before I trusted Dr Edwards. Dr Edwards made me feel like my feelings were invalid, as if I was making up or exaggerating the pain and acted as though he didn't want to be bothered with another surgery with me. You go to a plastic surgeon to feel better about yourself and even if your results are less than ideal, the surgeon should never make you feel like your concerns are nothing. You know your body better than anyone and if you tell them something is wrong and they don't listen, leave and don't look back, they have no business cutting you open again. All I wanted was my life back but my pain fell on deaf ears.

Dr. Michael Edwards is amazing! He performed my first breast augmentation 16 years ago. He just replaced them in the middle of September (2021). The care 16 years ago was impeccable and only got better over time! The whole staff is wonderful and friendly. Thank you and your wonderful team Dr. Edwards! I feel brand new!
