Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift, medically known as a mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts. Unlike breast augmentation, which focuses on increasing breast size, a breast lift improves the shape, contour, and position of the breasts, often restoring a youthful appearance.

                                                                         BREAST LIFT CAN UPLIFT YOUR CONFIDENCE

Why Consider a Breast Lift?

  • Natural Aging: Skin loses elasticity over time, causing breasts to sag.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: These can stretch the skin and ligaments, leading to a drooping appearance.
  • Weight Changes: Significant weight fluctuations may affect breast shape.
  • Genetics: Some women naturally have less skin elasticity or breast support.

Procedure Overview

  1.  

    • Surgical Techniques:
      • Crescent Lift: A small incision along the top of the areola for minimal sagging.
      • Peri-Areolar Lift (Donut Lift): An incision around the areola for mild sagging.
      • Vertical Lift (Lollipop Lift): Incisions around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease for moderate sagging.
      • Anchor Lift: Incisions around the areola, vertically down, and along the breast crease for significant sagging.

Recovery

  • Initial Recovery: 1-2 weeks of swelling, bruising, and discomfort.
  • Full Healing: Several months as scars fade and breasts settle into their new shape.
  • Aftercare:
    • Wear a supportive surgical bra.
    • Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities for 4-6 weeks.
    • Follow-up visits with your surgeon to monitor healing.

Risks and Complications

  • Scarring (though it typically fades over time).
  • Changes in nipple or breast sensation (usually temporary).
  • Asymmetry or dissatisfaction with the results.
  • Rare risks include infection, bleeding, or complications with wound healing.

Combination with Other Procedures

Many women combine a breast lift with:

  • Breast Augmentation: To increase size and volume.
  • Breast Reduction: To remove excess breast tissue and improve proportion.

Who Is a Good Candidate?

  • Physically healthy, nonsmoking individuals.
  • Realistic expectations about results.
  • Concerns about sagging but satisfied with breast size (or willing to combine with augmentation/reduction).

 

  •  
  • How long do the results last?

  • Unless patient gain or lose an excessive amount of weight, go through pregnancy and childbirth, the results are permanent..If a procedure has been performed in accordance with your chest size and shape then results are long lasting.
