Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Procedure

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to restore and elevate breast tissue and nipple position to a more youthful, aesthetically pleasing configuration. The primary goal is to address breast sagging and create a more lifted, contoured breast profile.

Procedure Objectives

• Lift breast tissue to a higher, more youthful position
• Reduce enlarged areola diameter
• Restore breast symmetry and shape
• Improve overall breast aesthetics

Breast Lift Technique Options

Richmond Surgical Arts offers three primary breast lift techniques:

• Circular Lift (Limited Lift): Minimal reshaping
• Lollipop Lift: Circle and stick incision for moderate lifting
• Standard Anchor Lift: Comprehensive reshaping for significant sagging
