Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

The silhouette of the breasts significantly impacts body image and self-confidence. Over time, factors like aging, gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuations can cause breast sagging. A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, addresses these concerns by reshaping and elevating the breasts to a more aesthetically pleasing position.

Breast Ptosis: What Is It?

Breast ptosis, or sagging, is classified into three degrees based on nipple positioning:

• Mild Ptosis: Nipple is at the inframammary fold
• Moderate Ptosis: Nipple is below the inframammary fold
• Advanced Ptosis: Nipple points downward

Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation

A breast lift focuses on reshaping and elevating breasts by removing excess skin and tightening tissue. Unlike augmentation, which increases breast size, a mastopexy improves breast shape and position.

Surgical Procedure Details

Renaissance Plastic Surgery performs breast lift procedures under general anesthesia. The surgery takes between 1.5 to 3 hours and involves removing excess skin, reshaping tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola while preserving sensation.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients require one to two weeks off work. Patients can expect some initial tenderness, inflammation, and bruising. Surgical bras and specific post-operative instructions help ensure optimal healing.

Surgical Technique

Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring: horizontally in the breast's natural crease, vertically from the areola to the crease, and around the areola. The goal is to create a more youthful, lifted breast contour.

Candidacy for Breast Lift

Ideal candidates are individuals experiencing breast sagging who are not planning immediate pregnancy. The procedure can restore breast shape and enhance self-confidence.
