Breast Lift

WHAT IS BREAST LIFT SURGERY?

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.

Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift will reduce this, as well.

A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure with a breast profile that is more youthful and uplifted. A woman’s breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. These changes and loss of skin elasticity can result from:

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Weight fluctuations
• Aging
• Gravity
• Heredity

BREAST LIFT CANDIDATES

• are physically healthy and maintain a stable weight;
• DO NOT smoke;
• are bothered by the feeling that your breasts sag or have lost shape and volume;
• have breasts with flatter, elongated shapes or are pendulous;
• have nipples that fall below the breast crease when unsupported;
• have nipples and areolas that point downwards;
• have stretched skin;
• have enlarged areolas;
• have one breast lower than the other.

Breast lift surgery is a highly-individualized and deeply personal procedure. It is important that you are doing it for yourself and not for someone else, even if someone else has offered to pay for the procedure. Patient satisfaction is highest when the patient wants the procedure for themselves.

BREAST LIFT RESULTS

The results of your breast lift surgery are immediately visible. Over time, post-surgical swelling resolves and the incision lines fade.

You will notice improved breast appearance over the next few months as breast shape and position settle. Incision lines, while permanent, will fade over time. Your breasts will continue to change due to aging and gravity. You will retain your best look if you maintain a healthy weight and keep a healthy lifestyle.
