Breast Lift Pasadena, CA | Pasadena Plastic Surgery: Michael Schwartz, MD

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure designed to address sagging breasts and restore a more youthful breast contour. By removing excess skin and reshaping breast tissue, the procedure elevates the breasts and repositions the areola and nipple for a perkier, more rejuvenated appearance.

Candidates for Breast Lift Surgery

Ideal candidates for a breast lift typically experience sagging due to various factors such as:

• Significant weight fluctuations
• Natural aging processes
• Pregnancy impacts
• Post-breastfeeding changes

Surgical Procedure Details

Pasadena Plastic Surgery performs breast lift surgery under general anesthesia in a professional surgical setting. The procedure generally takes two to three hours, with most patients returning home the same day. Dr. Schwartz utilizes meticulous surgical techniques to minimize scarring and ensure natural-looking results.

Potential Procedure Combinations

A breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation to provide more comprehensive enhancement of breast size and shape. This approach allows for correction of asymmetry and personalized aesthetic goals.

Recovery and Expectations

Post-surgical recovery involves temporary swelling and discomfort. Patients can typically return to work within one week and resume strenuous activities after two to three weeks. Initial breast appearance will be noticeable immediately, with final results becoming more refined as swelling subsides.

Potential Surgical Risks

As with any surgical procedure, breast lift surgery carries potential risks including:

• Infection
• Scarring
• Bleeding
• Temporary loss of sensation
