Breast Lift Paradise Valley, AZ | Ashley L. Howarth, MD Plastic Surgery

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Paradise Valley

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape breasts that have become saggy or droopy over time. Factors like pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging can cause breast ptosis, leading to a deflated or less youthful breast appearance.

Breast Lift Techniques

Dr. Ashley Howarth offers multiple breast lift techniques customized to each patient's unique anatomical needs:

• Crescent Lift: Minimal incision technique for slight sagging
• Peri-Areolar Lift: Circumferential incision around the areola
• Lollipop Lift: Vertical reshaping for moderate sagging
• Anchor Lift: Comprehensive reshaping for significant ptosis

Candidacy for Breast Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for a breast lift typically exhibit:

• Breast sagging that cannot be corrected by augmentation alone
• Stable body weight
• Good overall health
• Realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Breast Lift Procedure Insights

The breast lift procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. Dr. Howarth specializes in minimizing scarring and creating natural, rejuvenated breast contours. The specific surgical approach depends on the degree of breast ptosis and patient goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves wearing a surgical support bra and following specific care instructions. Patients can expect some initial discomfort, which gradually subsides. Strenuous activities should be avoided for several weeks to ensure proper healing.
