Understanding Breast Lift Surgery (Mastopexy)

Breast lift surgery, medically known as mastopexy, is a specialized plastic surgery procedure designed to improve the cosmetic appearance of breasts by raising, firming, and reshaping breast tissue. The procedure addresses sagging and loss of elasticity by removing excess skin and tightening underlying breast tissues.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift in Port Orange

The most suitable breast lift candidates exhibit specific breast characteristics and maintain overall good health. Qualifying factors include:

• Sagging or drooping breast tissue
• Nipples positioned below the breast crease
• Stretched or excess skin
• Asymmetrical breast positioning
• Loss of breast volume and shape

Surgical Techniques for Breast Lift

Michel C Samson, MD employs three primary incision techniques based on individual patient needs:

• Circular Incision: Ideal for minor corrections and areola reduction
• Lollipop Technique: Vertical incision for moderate lifting
• Inverted T or Anchor Technique: Comprehensive reshaping for significant tissue modification

Breast Lift Procedure Details

During the breast lift procedure, Dr. Samson will carefully reshape underlying breast tissue, reposition the nipple and areola, and remove excess skin. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and focuses on creating a natural, youthful breast contour.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery duration varies depending on the specific surgical technique. Patients can typically return to non-strenuous work within one week, with full recovery taking several weeks. Wearing a surgical support garment and following post-operative instructions are crucial for optimal healing.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like any surgical procedure, breast lift surgery involves potential risks such as scarring, changes in breast sensation, and potential asymmetry. Dr. Samson provides comprehensive consultations to discuss individual risks and expected outcomes.

Complementary Procedures

Breast lift can be combined with other aesthetic procedures such as breast augmentation, reduction, or body contouring techniques to achieve comprehensive aesthetic goals.
