What Is A Breast Lift?
A breast lift is a tailored surgical procedure that lifts the breast by removing excess skin to reduce or eliminate sagging. This specialized technique helps restore a more youthful and elevated breast contour.
How Can A Breast Lift Improve My Appearance?
A breast lift, known as a mastopexy, lifts the breasts to impart fullness and rejuvenate their appearance. Drooping breasts can make your entire body appear aged, and a breast lift corrects this by improving overall body contour.
Who Should Consider A Breast Lift?
Almost any healthy adult can consider a breast lift if they experience:
- Extensive breast sagging
- Elongated, droopy breast shape
- Nipples pointing downward
- Loss of breast volume due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy
The Breast Lift Procedure
Breast lift surgery utilizes minimal incisions to eliminate loose excess skin and pull the remaining skin taut. The procedure typically repositions the nipple and areola to a more youthful upward position, often reducing the size of an enlarged areola.
Breast Lift Recovery
Most patients require about a week of initial recovery, wearing supportive garments to protect healing breast tissue. After the first week, patients can return to office work and non-strenuous activities. Full recovery and final results are typically achieved within 3-6 months.
Will A Breast Lift Increase Breast Size?
A breast lift alone will not increase breast size, but it can create a fuller appearance through tissue repositioning. Patients seeking increased volume may consider combining breast augmentation with their breast lift procedure.
Breast Lift Considerations
Important factors to consider include:
- Potential temporary loss of nipple sensation
- Surgical scarring
- Results typically lasting 5-10 years
- Procedure takes 2.5-4 hours
Cost and Insurance
Breast lift surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure and is typically not covered by health insurance. Costs can range between $8,000-$12,000 depending on individual surgical requirements.
