Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

While breast size is often considered crucial, breast shape plays an equally significant role in overall breast appearance. Over time, factors like pregnancy can cause breast tissues to sag, resulting in a flat and potentially self-consciousness-inducing appearance.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape breasts by removing excess skin and minor fatty tissue. The goal is to restore a more youthful, uplifted appearance with enhanced symmetry and contour.

Key Aspects of Breast Lift Surgery

• Repositions areolae on the chest wall
• Addresses sagging caused by aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations
• Can be combined with breast implants for enhanced results

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Optimal candidates for a breast lift procedure include women who:

• Are not planning pregnancy in the near future
• Have completed breastfeeding
• Maintain a stable, ideal body weight
• Have realistic expectations about surgical outcomes

Surgical Procedure

The breast lift procedure typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under anesthesia. Surgeons may use various incision techniques, including donut, lollipop, or anchor incisions, to remove excess skin and reshape underlying breast tissues.

Recovery and Expectations

Recovery typically spans two weeks, with most patients returning to work within 1-2 weeks. Patients must wear a post-surgical support bra and avoid heavy lifting for approximately four weeks following the procedure.

Cost Considerations

Breast lift pricing ranges from $6,040 to $6,190, which includes doctor fees, hospital fees, and anesthesia. Financing options are available through Care Credit.
