Mastopexy Breast Lift San Diego, CA | Dr. Ron Edelson

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a sophisticated surgical procedure designed to elevate and re-contour the breasts. This advanced technique addresses breast sagging caused by various factors including age, pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight fluctuations, and genetic predisposition.

Breast Lift Characteristics

Dr. Ron Edelson performs breast lift procedures with precision, focusing on:

• Elevating breast position and shape
• Reducing enlarged areolas if necessary
• Eliminating excess skin
• Preventing further breast sagging

Breast Lift vs. Breast Augmentation: Key Differences

It is crucial to understand that a breast lift differs significantly from breast augmentation. While a breast lift repositions and reshapes existing breast tissue, it does not substantially change breast size or restore upper breast volume.

Patients seeking comprehensive breast enhancement may consider combining a breast lift with augmentation or reduction, depending on their aesthetic goals and Dr. Edelson's professional recommendation.

Ideal Breast Lift Candidates

Potential candidates for a breast lift typically include non-smoking individuals experiencing:

• Elongated or pendulous breast shape
• Nipples pointing downward
• Nipple position below the breast crease
• Desire to restore youthful breast contour

Surgical Procedure Overview

Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Edelson carefully creates strategic incisions, reshapes underlying breast tissue, repositions nipples, removes excess skin, and meticulously closes incisions to achieve optimal aesthetic results.

Recovery and Maintenance

Recovery from a breast lift requires several weeks of careful post-operative management. Patients will wear compression garments and specialized support bras during the healing process. Long-term maintenance involves maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle to preserve surgical results.
