Breast lift surgery, also known as, mastopexy, can restore the contour of the breasts to a more youthful, vivacious state, thereby erasing years off a woman’s body by lifting and tightening skin around the breast. Likely candidates who have sagging breasts due to past pregnancies, genetics, weight loss, or aging should consider the breast lift procedure at (facility name). A breast lift can also reduce sagging if it is too substantial to be treated with an implant alone or if the nipple-areolar complexes (pigmentated area around the nipple) are enlarged.
Breast lift surgery helps patients achieve a more attractive, feminine shape and contour, and better proportioned areolas. Often, breast augmentation surgery is performed in combination with mastopexy, to achieve additional upper fullness or volume.
THE SURGERY
Breast lift surgery takes approximately two to three hours and is performed on an outpatient basis at our state-of-the-art, fully accredited surgical suite under IV sedation or general anesthesia.
While Dr. Hardaway may provide several options for the placement of the incisions required for the breast lift procedure to accommodate your individual needs, generally the incisions are placed around the nipple-areolar complex and a vertical line down the breast. During breast lift surgery, excess skin is removed from around the nipple-areolar complex and from the bottom of the breast. The nipple-areolar complex is then repositioned higher. The insertion of a breast implant, as well, may or may not be advisable during the procedure.
THE RECOVERY
Since breast lift surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, patients go home in a bra with only light dressings over the incision lines. The bra is worn as a “dressing” for three weeks and sutures are usually removed in two to three weeks. Initial discomfort is controlled with oral medications. Light activities may be resumed within a few days; however, you should avoid strenuous exercise for several weeks and should be extremely gentle with your breasts for at least six weeks following surgery.
If you are unhappy with the shape of your breasts or finding that you pulling up your bra straps tighter and tighter, leaving dents in your shoulders, you could be a good candidate for a breast lift. Call Dr. Hardaway today and schedule your personalized consultation with her to have a more attractive contour figure.
