Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Houston

Dr. Christian Arroyo's primary objective with a breast lift is to provide women with a more youthful, perkier breast appearance and restore their sense of confidence. Each breast lift procedure is designed with a highly individualized treatment plan to address unique patient needs.

Why Consider a Breast Lift?

While exercise and diet can improve body shape, they cannot restore breast firmness and projection. A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, addresses sagging breasts caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, or natural aging processes.

Breast Lift Candidacy

Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery include individuals who:

• Are in good physical and emotional health
• Have loose or sagging breast skin
• Have enlarged or downward-pointing nipples
• Are concerned about breast drooping
• Are over 18 years old

The Breast Lift Procedure in Houston

Dr. Arroyo performs breast lift surgery utilizing Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) Sedation, a method considered safer and with fewer side effects compared to traditional general anesthesia. Patients breathe independently during the procedure, minimizing potential complications.

Surgical Technique

The procedure involves creating one of three incision types based on individual breast anatomy and aesthetic goals:

• Areola-only incision
• Lollipop incision (around areola and vertically to breast crease)
• Anchor-shaped incision

Procedure Details

During surgery, Dr. Arroyo removes excess skin, repositions nipples, and reshapes breast tissue. The entire procedure typically takes 2.5 to 3.5 hours and is performed as an outpatient surgery.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, with prescribed pain management. Most individuals can return home the same day and are encouraged to move carefully to promote proper blood circulation.

Cost Considerations

Breast lift procedures typically range between $9,000 and $10,000. As an elective cosmetic procedure, health insurance generally does not cover the cost. Financing options are available during the initial consultation.

Breast Lift vs. Augmentation

While a breast lift removes excess skin to create a perkier appearance, breast augmentation involves adding implants to improve volume. Some patients opt to combine both procedures for comprehensive breast enhancement.
