SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

The breast lift procedure typically takes 2 to 3 hours and can be
performed under general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia.
Dr. Shah will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your
specific anatomical characteristics.

BREAST LIFT IN COLUMBIA, MO | DR. MATTHEW CONCANNON

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Over the years, factors such as pregnancy, nursing, and gravity impact
breast appearance. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical
procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts, restoring
their youthful contour and position.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

Mastopexy can address multiple breast concerns, including:

 	* Reducing breast sagging
	* Repositioning the nipple and areola
	* Improving breast symmetry
	* Potentially reducing areola size

IDEAL CANDIDATES FOR BREAST LIFT

The most suitable candidates for mastopexy are healthy, emotionally
stable women with realistic expectations. Typical candidates include
women who have experienced breast changes due to:

 	* Pregnancy and breastfeeding
	* Significant weight fluctuations
	* Natural aging process
	* Loss of breast volume and skin elasticity

SURGICAL TECHNIQUE

Dr. Concannon typically performs breast lift surgery using an
anchor-shaped incision that follows the natural breast contour. This
approach allows precise reshaping and repositioning of breast tissue,
nipples, and areolas.

PROCEDURE DETAILS

The mastopexy procedure typically involves:

 	* 1-2 hours of surgical time
	* IV sedation with local anesthesia
	* Careful incision placement to minimize visible scarring
	* Hidden subsurface sutures for optimal healing

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Patients can expect a gradual healing process with initial discomfort
managed through medication. Most individuals can return to work within
a week, with full recovery taking several weeks.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

While breast lift surgery can significantly improve breast appearance,
patients should understand that:

 	* Scars are permanent but typically fade over time
	* Results may be less long-lasting for women with heavy breasts
	* Future pregnancies might impact surgical results

MASTOPEXY (BREAST LIFT) ST. LOUIS, MO | C.B. BOSWELL, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Breasts naturally lose perkiness over time due to factors like weight
changes, gravity, aging, pregnancy, and nursing. As skin elasticity
decreases, breasts lose shape and firmness. A mastopexy (breast lift)
surgically removes excess skin, raises the nipple and areola position,
and improves overall breast contour.

BREAST LIFT PROCEDURE BENEFITS

 	* Raises nipple and areola position
	* Reduces breast sagging
	* Restores volume to upper breast poles
	* Corrects breast asymmetries
	* Reduces enlarged areolas

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES IN ST. LOUIS

Two primary mastopexy techniques are utilized: the short-scar
(lollipop) and traditional wise-pattern techniques. The selected
approach depends on breast size, skin excess, and individual patient
anatomy.

SHORT-SCAR MASTOPEXY

Ideal for small to medium-sized breasts, this technique involves an
incision around the areola extending vertically to the breast crease.
It minimizes scarring while effectively lifting and reshaping the
breast.

WISE-PATTERN MASTOPEXY

Recommended for patients with larger, more pendulous breasts, this
technique allows more extensive skin removal and contouring. The
incision pattern extends around the areola, vertically down, and
horizontally along the breast crease.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS IN ST. LOUIS

Breast lift surgery typically takes 1.5 to 2.5 hours under general
anesthesia. Most patients return to work within a week and can resume
full exercise after six weeks. Swelling decreases progressively, with
80-90% reduction within one month.

POTENTIAL CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Permanent surgical scars
	* Potential temporary nipple sensation changes
	* Gradual scar maturation over 18 months

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Some patients opt to combine breast lift with augmentation for
comprehensive breast rejuvenation. Dr. Boswell recommends a
personalized approach based on individual aesthetic goals and
anatomical considerations.

BREAST LIFT CHESTERFIELD, MO | CHARLES NATHAN, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery offers comprehensive breast lift procedures
designed to restore a youthful shape and position to sagging,
stretched breasts. The practice's board-certified plastic surgeons
specialize in mastopexy techniques tailored to individual patient
anatomy.

BREAST LIFT CANDIDATE CRITERIA

Ideal breast lift candidates are healthy non-smokers experiencing
breast ptosis characterized by:

 	* Stretch marks
	* Elongated, flattened breast shape
	* Downward-pointing nipples
	* Areolae falling below the inframammary fold

RECOMMENDED TIMING FOR PROCEDURE

St. Louis Cosmetic Surgery generally advises patients to wait at least
6 months postpartum and after completing breastfeeding before pursuing
a breast lift, as additional pregnancies can impact surgical results.

BREAST LIFT TECHNIQUES

VERTICAL LIFT

The vertical breast lift technique involves a lollipop-shaped
incision, repositioning the nipple-areolar complex and lifting breast
tissue for improved contour.

ANCHOR LIFT

Recommended for patients with significant breast sagging, this method
extends the vertical incision with a horizontal line along the
inframammary fold, allowing comprehensive tissue reshaping and skin
tightening.

CIRCUMAREOLAR (DONUT) LIFT

Ideal for patients with minimal sagging, this technique uses an
incision tracing the areola's border to elevate the nipple-areolar
complex with minimal scarring.

ADDITIONAL BREAST ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS

BREAST LIFT WITH IMPLANTS

An augmentation mastopexy combines breast lifting with implant
placement, addressing both ptosis and volume enhancement in a single
comprehensive procedure.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Following a breast lift, patients will wear a surgical compression bra
for up to 6 weeks. Most individuals can return to work within one week
and gradually resume normal activities under surgical guidance.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS

 	* Elevated, reshaped breast contour
	* Improved areolae positioning
	* More youthful breast appearance

UNDERSTANDING MASTOPEXY: BREAST LIFT OVERVIEW

A breast lift, medically known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure
designed to restore and enhance breast shape for women experiencing
sagging or ptosis. The procedure addresses breasts that have a
flatter, elongated appearance and nipples that fall below the natural
breast crease.

BREAST LIFT TECHNIQUES

Multiple surgical techniques are available depending on individual
patient needs and the extent of lift required:

BREAST LIFT IN ST. LOUIS: RESTORE YOUR YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE

REJUVENATE YOUR BREASTS WITH A LIFT PROCEDURE

Pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and gravity can take a toll on breasts
over time, causing them to sag and lose their desired shape. A breast
lift procedure at John H. Hulsen, III, MD's practice can reposition
the breast and nipple higher on the chest wall, resulting in a
perkier, more youthful appearance.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR CONSULTATION

During the consultation, Dr. Hulsen will review the changes you've
experienced in your breasts and clearly define your goals for
restoring their look and shape. Options for removing loose, excess
skin and tightening surrounding breast tissue will be discussed to add
shape and support. If desired, areola reduction and implant
augmentation can also be addressed.

QUICK FACTS ABOUT BREAST LIFT SURGERY

	* Procedure length: 2-3 hours
	* Anesthesia: General
	* Outpatient surgery: Go home the same day
	* Recovery time: 5-10 days
	* Side effects: Bruising, swelling, temporary numbness or nipple
sensitivity

BENEFITS OF A BREAST LIFT

	* Removal of excess skin
	* Improvement of droopy appearance
	* Enhanced breast symmetry
	* Reduction of areolar size
	* Creation of a more youthful shape
	* Replacement of lost volume (with implant)

PREPARING FOR YOUR BREAST LIFT

Patients should stop smoking and all forms of nicotine at least 4
weeks prior to breast reshaping. Medications and supplements that
increase bleeding risk should be discontinued 2 weeks before surgery,
under doctor supervision.

BREAST LIFT TECHNIQUES

Dr. Hulsen will design the breast lift based on the amount of sagging
breast skin to be removed, using one of three main incision types:
periareolar, keyhole, or anchor incision. The appropriate technique
will be chosen to achieve optimal results.

RECOVERY FROM BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Breast lift surgery is performed on an outpatient basis. Patients can
expect some discomfort but typically find the procedure not overly
painful. Most women can return to work within 1-2 weeks and resume
full activities in 4-6 weeks. Final lifting results are usually
visible in 2-4 months.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Breast lift surgery can improve asymmetry between breasts, though
minor differences may remain. While a standard lift doesn't add
cleavage, combining it with implant augmentation can dramatically
improve upper breast fullness. Stretched areolar tissue can be reduced
during the procedure if desired.
