Breast Lift San Mateo, CA | Frank J. Piro, MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Dr. Frank J. Piro offers sophisticated breast lift surgery to improve the appearance of sagging, flattened, or downward-pointing breasts. As time passes, factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging can significantly impact breast shape and elasticity.

Why Breast Lift Surgery is Needed

Natural aging processes cause skin to produce less collagen and elastin, leading to breast ptosis (droopiness). This can result in:

• Decreased skin elasticity
• Sagging breast tissue
• Nipples pointing downward

Breast Lift Procedure Details

Dr. Piro typically performs breast lift surgery as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery usually takes approximately three hours, depending on the patient's specific needs and aesthetic goals.

Surgical Approach

The incision method varies based on individual anatomy and aesthetic desires. Common approaches include:

• Incision around the areola border
• Incision under the breast's natural fold
• Modified techniques for patients with minimal ptosis

Candidacy for Breast Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery typically:

• Have a positive body image
• Are in good physical and emotional health
• Are not pregnant or nursing
• Have realistic aesthetic expectations
• Are non-smokers or willing to quit

Recovery and Expectations

Patients should expect to take approximately one week off from normal activities. Initial recovery may involve swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort. Dr. Piro provides personalized post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing.
