Understanding Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breast tissue. The goal is to restore a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing breast contour for patients experiencing tissue drooping due to aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

Types of Breast Lift Procedures

Concentric (Periareolar) Mastopexy

This technique is ideal for patients with minimal breast ptosis. Characterized by incisions made around the areola, this method allows for precise skin removal and areola repositioning using a purse string suture technique.

Standard Mastopexy

Recommended for patients with significant breast sagging, this procedure involves more extensive incisions. Typical incision patterns include:

• Incisions around the nipple areola complex
• Vertical incision below the areola
• Optional horizontal incision in the breast crease
