Breast Lift Dothan, AL | Dr. Scott Asher

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. By removing excess skin and tightening supporting tissue, patients can achieve a more youthful and elevated breast contour.

Procedure Benefits

• Raises and reshapes drooping breasts
• Repositions nipple and areola
• Restores breast symmetry
• Enhances overall breast appearance

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

The most suitable candidates for a breast lift in Dothan include women who experience:

• Significant breast sagging
• Loss of breast volume and shape
• Nipples pointing downward
• Asymmetrical breast positioning

Surgical Techniques

Dr. Scott Asher performs breast lift procedures using multiple advanced techniques tailored to individual patient needs. The most common approaches include:

• Circumareolar (doughnut) technique
• Vertical (lollipop) incision method
• Anchor-shaped incision for extensive reshaping

Procedure Details

The breast lift is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes one to three hours. During surgery, breast tissue is carefully reshaped, excess skin is removed, and the nipple is repositioned to create a more aesthetically pleasing result.

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect initial recovery within one week, with complete healing occurring over several months. Most individuals return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks, experiencing improved breast shape and enhanced confidence.

Potential Risks

While breast lift surgery is generally safe, potential risks include scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and minor asymmetry. Selecting an experienced board-certified plastic surgeon minimizes these risks.
