BREAST LIFT NORTH BETHESDA, MD | KATHY HUANG, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Age, weight loss, and pregnancy can diminish skin's natural
elasticity. A breast lift, or mastopexy, elevates sagging breasts to
achieve a youthful, rejuvenated contour by raising the breasts on the
chest wall and reshaping breast tissues.

WHAT IS A BREAST LIFT?

A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to address breast
ptosis by lifting and reshaping breast tissues. Unlike breast
augmentation, this procedure focuses on improving breast position,
symmetry, and overall appearance without increasing breast size.

BENEFITS OF BREAST LIFT SURGERY

 	* Elevated, firmer breast appearance
	* Enhanced breast shape and symmetry
	* More proportionate areolae
	* Attractively upward-tilting nipples
	* Improved breast projection
	* More attractive clothing fit

BREAST LIFT CANDIDACY

Ideal candidates for breast lift surgery typically:

 	* Are in good overall health
	* Do not smoke
	* Have realistic aesthetic expectations
	* Experience breast sagging or drooping
	* Have nipples positioned low on the breast mound

BREAST LIFT TECHNIQUES

The Plastic Surgery Institute of Washington offers multiple breast
lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

 	* Crescent Mastopexy: Minor lift for minimal sagging
	* Periareolar Lift: Skin removal around the areola
	* Vertical Mastopexy: Enhanced nipple repositioning
	* Wise Pattern (Full) Mastopexy: Most comprehensive breast reshaping

RECOVERY AND AFTERCARE

Breast lift recovery involves several stages of healing and gradual
return to normal activities. Patients can expect:

 	* Initial recovery period of 1-2 weeks
	* Gradual reduction in swelling and bruising
	* Restricted physical activities during initial healing
	* Full results visible after 3-6 months
