BREAST LIFT MIDDLETOWN, CT | DR. MARI REBANE-MAZZOTTA, MD

UNDERSTANDING MASTOPEXY (BREAST LIFT) PROCEDURE

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure
designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. This technique
addresses aesthetic concerns caused by aging, pregnancy, weight loss,
and gravitational changes. When breast sagging cannot be corrected by
implants alone, augmentation mastopexy may be recommended to restore
breast position and enhance overall appearance.

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Suitable candidates for breast lift surgery typically exhibit the
following characteristics:

 	* Sagging or elongated breast shape
	* Loss of breast volume and firmness
	* Nipples or areolas pointing downward
	* Asymmetrical breast positioning

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Dr. Rebane-Mazzotta performs breast lift procedures on an outpatient
basis under general anesthesia. The surgery typically takes 1 to 3
hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Three primary incision
techniques may be utilized:

 	* Periareolar (two concentric rings around the areola)
	* Keyhole incision (around areola and down to breast crease)
	* Anchor-shaped incision (extending from breast crease to areola)

PROCEDURE DETAILS

During the breast lift, excess skin is carefully trimmed, supporting
tissue is tightened, and the breasts are repositioned to create a more
youthful contour. The nipple and areola are often repositioned or
resized to complement the new breast shape.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect some initial bruising and swelling that may
persist for several weeks. An elastic bandage or surgical bra is
typically worn for the first week, followed by a support bra for
approximately one month. Most patients return to work within a week,
with full recovery and activity restoration guided by the surgeon's
recommendations.

POTENTIAL RISKS

Like all surgical procedures, breast lift surgery includes potential
risks such as:

 	* Capsular contracture
	* Implant complications
	* Changes in breast or nipple sensation
	* Potential scarring

LONG-TERM CONSIDERATIONS

Breast implants typically have a life expectancy of approximately 10
years. Patients should anticipate potential future procedures to
maintain their desired breast shape and size.
