Breast Lift Troy, MI | John M. Trupiano MD FACS

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery, medically known as mastopexy, is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure designed to restore and elevate breast position. This transformative technique addresses sagging breasts caused by life experiences such as weight loss, pregnancy, and aging.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift surgically tightens and reshapes breast tissue to achieve a more youthful, upright appearance. During the procedure, breasts are repositioned higher on the chest wall, and nipples are adjusted to create a more aesthetically pleasing contour.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Nipples sitting below the breast crease
• Downward-pointing nipples
• Excess skin causing breast sagging
• Stable body weight
• Realistic surgical expectations

Breast Lift Surgical Techniques

Dr. Trupiano utilizes three primary incision techniques based on individual patient needs:

• Donut incision: Around the areola (minimal correction)
• Lollipop incision: Around areola and down to breast crease
• Anchor incision: Comprehensive reshaping with additional inframammary fold incisions

Recovery and Results

Patients can expect 1-2 weeks of initial recovery with progressive healing over several months. A specialized surgical bra provides support during the initial healing phase, with most patients returning to normal activities within six weeks.

Complementary Procedures

Breast lift can be combined with other procedures like breast augmentation or included in a comprehensive mommy makeover for enhanced aesthetic results.

Important Considerations

• Procedure is typically considered cosmetic and not covered by insurance
• Best results maintained through stable weight and healthy lifestyle
• Final results may take several months to fully settle
