Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Newport Beach
As women age, breast tissue naturally loses firmness and elasticity, causing sagging and changes in shape. Dr. Karen Leong offers advanced breast lift procedures to help patients restore a more youthful, lifted breast appearance.
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to redefine breast shape by removing excess skin and tightening existing breast tissue. Dr. Leong's approach focuses on two key principles: repair and replace.
Key Breast Lift Techniques
- Anchor technique (inverted-T incision)
- Vertical (lollipop) technique
- Potential auto-augmentation using existing breast tissue
Surgical Process and Considerations
Breast lift surgery typically takes 2-4 hours under general anesthesia. The procedure may involve repositioning nipples, reducing areola size, and creating a more symmetrical breast profile.
Candidacy for Breast Lift Surgery
Ideal candidates for a breast lift include women who experience breast sagging due to:
- Weight fluctuations
- Pregnancy
- Aging
- Significant weight loss
Recovery and Results
Recovery from a breast lift involves wearing a supportive garment and following specific post-operative care instructions. Full results become apparent several months after surgery as swelling subsides and tissues settle.
Potential Complementary Procedures
Dr. Leong may recommend combining a breast lift with other procedures like implants or fat transfer to achieve optimal aesthetic results.
