Breast Lift

Breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to lift and reshape sagging or drooping breasts. The procedure can also be used to improve the overall appearance of the breasts by restoring volume, reducing the size of the areolas, and improving the symmetry of the breasts. Breast lift surgery is typically performed by a plastic surgeon and can be combined with other procedures, such as breast augmentation or reduction.

The breast lift procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours to complete. During the procedure, the plastic surgeon will make incisions around the areola and down the breast to remove excess skin and reshape the breast tissue. In some cases, the plastic surgeon may also need to reposition the nipple and areola to a higher position on the breast. The incisions are then closed with sutures and covered with a surgical dressing.

After the procedure, patients will experience some swelling, pain, and discomfort, which can typically be managed with pain medication. Patients will also need to wear a compression garment to support the healing process and help shape the treated area. During the recovery period, patients will need to avoid strenuous activity and follow their plastic surgeon's postoperative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing.

Overall, breast lift surgery is an effective way to restore the youthful appearance of sagging or drooping breasts and improve the overall appearance of the breasts. If you are considering a breast lift, it is important to speak with a qualified plastic surgeon to determine if the procedure is right for you and to discuss the potential risks and benefits.
