 

BREAST LIFT (MASTOPEXY) IN ST SIMONS ISLAND, GA

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT PROCEDURES

Gravity and aging can significantly impact breast appearance. A breast
lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and firm
the breasts by removing excess skin and reshaping surrounding tissue.
This transformative procedure addresses sagging caused by factors such
as aging, weight changes, and pregnancy.

KEY BENEFITS OF BREAST LIFT SURGERY

 	* Improving breast symmetry
	* Reducing enlarged areolas
	* Restoring a firm, youthful breast contour
	* Enhancing self-confidence and clothing fit

BREAST PTOSIS EVALUATION

During a consultation at Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr.
Bowen carefully evaluates breast fullness, skin laxity, and the degree
of ptosis (sagging). This comprehensive assessment helps determine the
most appropriate breast lifting technique.

DEGREES OF BREAST PTOSIS

 	* Level 1: Mild sagging - Areolas level with breast crease
	* Level 2: Moderate sagging - Areolas below breast crease
	* Level 3: Significant sagging - Minimal breast tissue visible
	* Pseudoptosis: Areolas above crease, breast tissue hanging below

BREAST LIFT INCISION TECHNIQUES

Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery offers three primary incision
approaches, selected based on individual patient needs:

INCISION TYPES

 	* Inverted T (Anchor) Mastopexy: Most comprehensive correction for
moderate to severe ptosis
	* Vertical (Lollipop) Mastopexy: Ideal for mild to moderate breast
sagging
	* Concentric (Doughnut) Mastopexy: Minimal lifting requirements

SURGICAL EXPECTATIONS

Breast lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia,
with procedures lasting 2-3 hours. Most patients return to work within
one week, though strenuous activities are restricted for 6-8 weeks.
Dr. Bowen provides personalized post-surgical instructions to ensure
optimal recovery.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Results longevity depends on individual factors. Maintaining a stable
weight, avoiding smoking, and following a healthy lifestyle can help
preserve surgical outcomes for several years.
