Understanding Breast Lift Surgery
Aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, gravity, and weight fluctuations can dramatically change breast skin elasticity and appearance. Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, can restore a perky breast shape to sagging, drooping, or deflated breasts. Dr. Melanie Prince is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in personalized breast lift procedures for women in Little Rock and Fayetteville, Arkansas.
Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

- Improve nipple positioning and orientation
- Minimize large areola size
- Eliminate skin irritation and physical discomfort from sagging breasts
- Boost confidence in clothing and personal appearance
Breast Lift vs. Augmentation
Some patients seeking breast augmentation may actually benefit more from a breast lift. A simple test can help determine candidacy: if a pencil stays in place in the breast crease when walking, a breast lift might be recommended. Dr. Prince can help patients determine the most appropriate procedure for their aesthetic goals.
Surgical Procedure Details
Breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Prince creates strategic incisions around the nipple, potentially extending vertically and along the breast crease. The breast tissue is lifted, reshaped, and excess skin is removed to create a more youthful, elevated breast contour.
Recovery and Results
Patients can expect some initial swelling and discomfort managed with prescribed medication. Strict activity restrictions are necessary for four weeks, including wearing a specialized front-closing sports bra. Final results become visible once swelling subsides, typically several months after the procedure.
Candidacy for Breast Lift
Ideal candidates are in good overall health, non-smokers, at a stable weight, and experiencing breast sagging or loss of breast shape. Dr. Prince conducts comprehensive consultations to ensure patients are suitable for the procedure.
