What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes sagging breasts without changing their size. Dr. Rouchdi Rifai at Birmingham Cosmetic Surgery performs breast lifts to restore a more youthful breast position and shape for patients in the Detroit area.

Benefits of a Breast Lift

• Lifts sagging or drooping breasts
• Removes excess skin
• Improves overall breast shape and firmness
• Can reduce areola size

Breast Lift Procedure

Dr. Rifai performs breast lift surgery under general anesthesia. The procedure involves making incisions to remove excess skin and reshape the breast tissue. The nipple and areola are repositioned higher on the breast. The entire procedure typically takes 3-4 hours.

Breast Lift Candidates

Good candidates for a breast lift are women who:

• Have sagging breasts due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
• Are in good overall health
• Do not smoke
• Have realistic expectations for the procedure

Recovery After Breast Lift Surgery

Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks after a breast lift. Full recovery takes about 4-6 weeks. Dr. Rifai provides detailed post-operative instructions to ensure proper healing.
