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 SURGERY ST. LOUIS, MO | MICHELE D. KOO, M.D., FACS

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Dr. Michele Koo, a board-certified plastic surgeon in St. Louis,
Missouri, specializes in creating beautifully contoured breasts
tailored to individual body proportions. As women age, experience
childbirth, or undergo weight fluctuations, breast shape and position
can change. Dr. Koo's breast lift procedure restores youthful firmness
by repositioning the nipple and reshaping breast tissue.

CUSTOMIZED BREAST ENHANCEMENT APPROACH

Each breast lift procedure is uniquely designed to meet
patient-specific aesthetic goals. Dr. Koo evaluates multiple factors
including breast volume, skin elasticity, and nipple position to
determine the optimal surgical strategy.

BREAST LIFT INCISION TECHNIQUES

Dr. Koo employs three primary incision locations to achieve optimal
breast lifting results:

 	* Periareolar Incision (Donut): Incision around the areola
	* Vertical Incision (Lollipop): Incision around areola and vertically
to breast crease
	* Inverted T Incision (Anchor): Incision around areola, vertically to
breast crease, and horizontally along breast crease

SURGICAL PROCEDURE DETAILS

During the breast lift, Dr. Koo carefully lifts and reshapes
underlying breast tissue, removing excess skin to restore a youthful,
symmetrical contour. The precise technique ensures natural-looking
results that complement the patient's overall physique.

RECOVERY AND RESULTS

Patients can expect immediate improvements in breast shape and
position. Post-operative care includes comprehensive guidance on
healing, with supportive garments and detailed instructions to
optimize recovery and minimize downtime.

COMPREHENSIVE BREAST ENHANCEMENT OPTIONS

Dr. Koo offers versatile breast enhancement solutions, including
breast lift procedures that can be combined with augmentation or
reduction to achieve desired aesthetic outcomes.

BREAST LIFT IN ST. LOUIS, MO | BODY AESTHETIC PLASTIC SURGERY &
SKINCARE CENTER

UNDERSTANDING BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Breast lift, or mastopexy, is a transformative surgical procedure
designed to address breast sagging and restore a more youthful breast
contour. As breasts lose elasticity due to factors like pregnancy,
weight changes, and aging, a breast lift can effectively raise the
position of the nipple and improve overall breast shape.

KEY BENEFITS OF BREAST LIFT SURGERY

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

BREAST LIFT PROCEDURE TYPES

Body Aesthetic Plastic Surgery offers two primary breast lift
techniques: short-scar (lollipop) and traditional wise-pattern
mastopexy. The chosen technique depends on individual breast
characteristics, excess skin volume, and aesthetic goals.

SHORT-SCAR MASTOPEXY

Ideal for small to medium-sized breasts, this technique involves an
incision around the areola and vertically down to the inframammary
crease, creating a lollipop-shaped scar.

WISE-PATTERN MASTOPEXY

Recommended for larger breasted patients with significant skin excess,
this method includes additional horizontal incisions in the
inframammary fold, allowing more comprehensive skin removal and
reshaping.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most breast lift procedures are outpatient surgeries lasting 1.5 to
2.5 hours under general anesthesia. Patients can typically return to
work within a week and resume full exercise after six weeks.

POST-SURGICAL CONSIDERATIONS

 	* Temporary bruising and swelling
	* Possible nipple sensation changes
	* Gradual scar improvement over 18 months
	* Minimal pain, typically managed with oral medication

COMBINING PROCEDURES

Some patients might benefit from combining breast lift with
augmentation. Body Aesthetic Plastic Surgery recommends a personalized
approach, potentially staging procedures to achieve optimal results.

LONG-TERM RESULTS

While breast lift results are not permanently immune to gravity and
aging, most patients require only a single procedure. Maintaining a
stable weight and healthy lifestyle can help prolong surgical
outcomes.
