Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Procedures

Breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts. Multiple factors can contribute to breast ptosis, including pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, and natural aging processes affecting skin and breast glandular tissue.

Personalized Surgical Approach

Ford Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery offers comprehensive breast lift consultations tailored to individual patient goals. The surgical technique depends on several key factors:

• Degree of breast sagging (ptosis)
• Patient's desired aesthetic outcome
• Potential combination with breast augmentation
• Areola repositioning requirements

Ptosis Evaluation and Surgical Techniques

Breast sagging is clinically graded by the nipple's relationship to the inframammary fold. Minor lifting typically requires fewer incisions, while more severe sagging necessitates more extensive surgical approaches. Ford Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery prioritizes minimal scarring and optimal aesthetic results.

Comprehensive Procedure Details

Breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Patients can expect a relatively quick recovery, with full activity resumption typically within a few weeks. Additional options during the procedure include:

• Optional breast implant placement
• Areola size reduction
• Nipple repositioning

Surgical Considerations

Surgeons carefully evaluate implant size to maintain proportionality and prevent excessive weight. Post-surgical scar management and detailed incision care instructions are provided to ensure optimal healing and aesthetic outcomes.
