Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Procedures

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. As women age, skin naturally loses elasticity, causing breasts to lose their natural shape and firmness. This procedure effectively elevates the breasts, restoring a more youthful and contoured appearance.

Key Reasons for Considering a Breast Lift

• Elevate breasts affected by aging and gravitational changes
• Restore breast firmness after pregnancy and breastfeeding
• Reposition nipples and areolas that point downward
• Rejuvenate breast appearance following significant weight loss

Surgical Techniques and Approach

Breast lift procedures typically last between one and a half to three hours. The most common technique involves an anchor-like incision along the breast's underside, strategically removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple and areola to achieve a more lifted and symmetrical appearance.

Advanced Lift Variations

For patients with minimal sagging and smaller breasts, modified procedures like the "doughnut (concentric) mastopexy" offer less invasive options. These techniques utilize circular incisions around the areola, allowing for subtle reshaping with reduced scarring.

Potential Combination Procedures

Dr. Joseph Kelamis often recommends breast lift procedures in conjunction with breast augmentation for comprehensive breast rejuvenation. During these combined surgeries, breast implants can be strategically placed under breast tissue or chest wall muscle.

Recovery and Postoperative Care

Recovery involves careful management and following specific postoperative instructions. Patients can expect to wear specialized surgical bras and manage minimal discomfort with prescribed medications. Limiting movement and prioritizing rest are crucial for optimal healing.
