Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Surgery

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct and reshape breasts that have experienced ptosis, or sagging. This condition often develops after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or natural aging processes.

Indications for Breast Lift Surgery

• Elongated breast shape
• Enlarged areola
• Loss of breast volume and firmness
• Asymmetrical breast positioning

Surgical Techniques

RenewalMD offers customized breast lift procedures tailored to each patient's unique anatomical needs. Surgical techniques may include:

• Minimal incision around the areola
• Vertical extension (lollipop incision)
• Horizontal extension (inverted T incision)

Procedure Overview

Breast lift surgery is performed in a dedicated operating suite, utilizing specialized outpatient cosmetic surgery techniques. The procedure typically takes approximately three hours, with patients ready for discharge after a brief recovery period.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect the following recovery timeline:

• Moderate pain during initial 72 hours
• Return to work within 7-14 days
• Restricted strenuous activity for 4 weeks
• Full physical activity resumption after 4-6 weeks

Potential Benefits

Breast lift patients often experience improved aesthetic proportion, enhanced self-confidence, and a more youthful breast appearance. The procedure offers a relatively safe and reliable solution for addressing breast ptosis.
