Understanding Mastopexy: Breast Lift Procedure

Mastopexy is a specialized surgical procedure designed to restore and reshape breasts that have experienced changes due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, genetics, or aging. The primary goal is to elevate the breast tissue and reposition the nipple to create a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Breast Lift Techniques

Garrett Harper, MD offers three primary breast lift techniques tailored to individual patient needs:

• Peri-areolar ("Donut Lift"):
• Circum-vertical ("Lollipop Lift"):
• Anchor Incision:

Surgical Approach and Considerations

The breast lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort and safety. Dr. Harper employs advanced techniques such as the superior pedicle method to optimize breast projection and create enhanced cleavage using the patient's natural breast tissue.

Candidate Qualifications for Breast Lift

Ideal candidates for mastopexy are individuals who:

• Are physically and emotionally healthy
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes
• Understand potential risks and benefits
• Have experienced breast changes from pregnancy or significant weight fluctuations

Recovery and Postoperative Care

Patients can typically return to light activities within 3-7 days following the procedure. Full recovery and resumption of exercise are generally possible around three weeks post-surgery. Dr. Harper's team provides comprehensive postoperative instructions and scar management techniques to optimize healing.

Potential Risks and Considerations

While mastopexy is considered a safe procedure, patients should be aware of potential risks such as temporary sensation changes, minimal bleeding, or infection risks. The practice takes meticulous measurements to ensure symmetry and minimize complications.
