Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Procedures

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to correct sagging or drooping breasts. Common causes of breast ptosis include pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, and natural aging processes. As breast tissue gradually transitions from glandular to fatty composition, the breasts may lose their youthful appearance and positioning.

Procedure Overview

• Surgical duration: 1-3 hours depending on complexity
• Incision techniques vary based on degree of breast ptosis
• Recommended for patients near ideal body weight

Breast Lift Candidacy and Considerations

Ideal candidates for a breast lift should be in good overall health, non-smokers, and have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Dr. Glicksman recommends patients be certain they have completed childbearing before considering the procedure.

Surgical Approach

The mastopexy procedure involves removing excess skin and reshaping breast tissue to create a more elevated, youthful contour. For some patients, an internal support scaffold might be recommended to enhance long-term results.

Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation

Not all patients require breast implants alongside a lift. Dr. Glicksman carefully evaluates each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Using advanced Vectra 3D imaging, patients can visualize potential surgical outcomes and make informed decisions about their procedure.

Recovery and Expectations

• Initial recovery: 24-48 hours for daily activities
• Full exercise resumption: Approximately two weeks
• Pain management with over-the-counter medications
