Breast Lift Metairie, LA | Dr. Jules Walters - Board Certified Plastic Surgeon

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery in Metairie

Weight loss, breastfeeding, gravity, and aging impact breast appearance over time, causing drooping and deflation. A breast lift by Dr. Jules Walters can help restore youthful breast contours and elevate your confidence.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that rejuvenates breasts by removing excess skin and tightening underlying tissues. Recent American Society of Plastic Surgeons statistics reveal a nearly 70% increase in demand since 2000, highlighting the procedure's effectiveness.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

• Women experiencing breast sagging due to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations
• Individuals with nipples pointing downward
• Patients in good health at or near ideal body weight
• Those seeking to restore breast shape without necessarily changing size

Breast Lift Incision Techniques

Dr. Walters offers multiple incision approaches tailored to individual patient needs:

• Inverted T (Anchor): Comprehensive lift for significant sagging
• Straight Line (Lollipop): Vertical incision around areola
• Concentric (Donut): Circular incision around areola
• Crescent: Minor lift for minimal ptosis

Combining Procedures

Dr. Walters can combine breast lift with augmentation or fat transfer to enhance overall breast appearance and symmetry. The optimal approach depends on individual aesthetic goals and existing breast tissue.

Procedure Overview

A typical breast lift takes approximately two hours under general anesthesia. Dr. Walters carefully removes excess skin, reshapes breast tissue, and repositions nipples to create a more youthful, elevated breast contour.

Recovery Expectations

Most patients return to desk work within one week. Full exercise routines can typically resume 4-6 weeks post-surgery. Dr. Walters provides comprehensive post-operative care to ensure optimal healing and results.
