Understanding Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Surgery

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to correct breast ptosis and restore a more youthful breast contour. This procedure addresses breast sagging that can develop after pregnancy, significant weight loss, or natural aging processes.

Surgical Technique and Customization

Horizons Plastic Surgery recognizes that every breast lift procedure must be tailored to the patient's unique anatomical needs and aesthetic goals. The surgical approach typically involves:

• Minimum incision around the areola
• Potential vertical extension (lollipop incision)
• Possible horizontal extension (inverted T incision)

What to Expect During Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure in Horizons Plastic Surgery's operating room suite. The typical surgery takes approximately three hours, with patients ready for discharge after a brief recovery period.

Recovery and Healing

Patients can anticipate the following recovery timeline:

• Moderate pain during first 72 hours
• Return to work within 7-14 days
• Avoid strenuous activity for approximately four weeks
• Resume normal physical activity after 4-6 weeks

Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

Patients who undergo mastopexy frequently experience a renewed sense of aesthetic proportion and improved self-confidence. The procedure offers a safe and reliable method for restoring breast shape and symmetry.
