Breast Lift Surgery in New Orleans & Metairie

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a cosmetic procedure that lifts and tightens the breasts by removing excess skin and surgically tightening breast tissue. This results in firmer, younger-looking breasts. Dr. Cynthia Mizgala at A Woman Plastic Surgeon offers customized breast lift procedures to women in the New Orleans and Metairie area who have lost breast firmness and shape due to aging, pregnancy, weight loss, or other factors.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery

Good candidates for breast lift surgery include women with:

• Sagging breasts (ptosis)
• Nipples that point downward
• Breasts that hang below the breast crease
• Stretched skin and loss of breast shape

Dr. Mizgala will assess your individual condition and goals to determine if a breast lift alone or combined with implants is right for you.

Breast Lift Techniques

Dr. Mizgala customizes each breast lift to minimize scarring while achieving the desired lift and shape. Common techniques include:

• Anchor incision (inverted-T)
• Vertical incision (lollipop)
• Periareolar incision

The best technique depends on your degree of sagging and desired outcome. Dr. Mizgala will recommend the most appropriate approach during your consultation.

Recovery and Results

Most patients return to work within 4-7 days after breast lift surgery. You'll need to wear a supportive surgical bra as you heal. Swelling typically subsides within a week. Final results develop over several months as your breasts settle into their new lifted position. Many women enjoy perkier, more youthful-looking breasts that better match their body proportions.

Cost of Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift costs in New Orleans typically range from $5,900 to $10,500. The exact price depends on the extent of lifting needed and whether implants are included. A Woman Plastic Surgeon offers financing options to help make surgery more affordable.
