BREAST LIFT GRAND RAPIDS, MI | DR. SHANNON D. ARMSTRONG, MD

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

The breast lift procedure (mastopexy) is a cosmetic surgical technique
that repositions the nipple and breast to a higher, more youthful
position on the chest wall. This procedure is particularly beneficial
for patients experiencing breast drooping after pregnancy,
breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR MASTOPEXY

Elite Plastic Surgery identifies ideal breast lift candidates as
individuals who:

 	* Have flattened or sagging breast tissue
	* Maintain a stable, healthy body weight
	* Are non-smokers
	* Have completed childbearing

SURGICAL APPROACH TO BREAST LIFT

Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia on an
outpatient basis. The procedure involves lifting breast tissue and
repositioning the nipple to create a more elevated, youthful
appearance. Incisions are strategically placed around the nipple and
occasionally extending down the lower breast portion.

OPTIMIZING MASTOPEXY RESULTS

Long-term breast lift success depends on strategic timing. The optimal
period for this procedure is after completing childbearing and
achieving a stable weight for at least six months. These
considerations help ensure the most sustainable and satisfying
surgical outcomes.

COMBINED PROCEDURES

Elite Plastic Surgery recommends combining a breast lift with breast
augmentation for patients seeking comprehensive breast reshaping. This
mastopexy augmentation approach simultaneously corrects breast
position and volume.

RECOVERY AND POTENTIAL RISKS

Recovery varies by individual but typically involves:

 	* Wearing a surgical support bra immediately post-surgery
	* Transitioning to soft support bras for 4-6 weeks
	* Returning to work approximately 7 days after surgery

Potential surgical risks include sensation changes, infection, and
rare complications that will be thoroughly discussed during
consultation.

breast profile, a breast lift might be the ideal solution. Elite
