Breast Lift in Baton Rouge, LA | Theunissen Aesthetic Plastic Surgery of Baton Rouge
Breast Lift Surgery Overview
Breast lift surgery, medically known as Mastopexy, is a specialized surgical procedure designed to reshape sagging breasts and improve their position and form. Baton Rouge Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Theunissen, is a specialist in cosmetic breast surgery, helping women achieve a more youthful and attractive breast shape.
Procedure Techniques
The breast lift procedure typically involves removing excess tissues, over-stretched ligaments, and skin from the breast envelope. Dr. Theunissen carefully rearranges the nipple-areola complex to a higher position on the breast hemisphere, creating a more aesthetically pleasing result.
Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift
Women may be excellent candidates for a breast lift procedure if they:
- Wish to lift sagging, drooping, or flat breasts
- Want fuller, more shapely breasts
- Desire to reposition or reshape nipples
Common Reasons for Breast Sagging
Breast ptosis (sagging) can occur due to various factors, including:
- Aging
- Pregnancy and breastfeeding
- Significant weight loss
- Genetic predisposition
Surgical Details
The breast lift procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes approximately two hours. Patients are advised to spend the night in the hospital to ensure proper initial recovery and monitoring.
Procedure Options
Dr. Theunissen offers two primary breast lift techniques:
- Vertical Mastopexy Breast Lift
- Full Mastopexy Breast Lift
Recovery and Aftercare
Recovery varies by patient, but most individuals can begin light exercise approximately one week after surgery. Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting during the initial healing period.
Cost and Considerations
A breast lift procedure in Baton Rouge typically ranges from $6,300 to $9,500, depending on the complexity of the surgery. The procedure is considered cosmetic and is generally not covered by insurance.
