Overview:
Breast Lift Surgery, also known as Mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that lifts and reshapes sagging or drooping breasts. It is ideal for women looking to restore firmness and elevation to their breasts without increasing or decreasing size drastically.
Who Is It For?
- Women experiencing breast sagging (ptosis) due to age, weight loss, or post-pregnancy changes
- Individuals with nipples pointing downward or sitting below the breast crease
- Women who are happy with breast size but want better shape and positioning
- Those seeking a natural, perky breast contour without implants
Goals of the Surgery:
- Lift sagging breasts to a more youthful position
- Reshape the breast mound and reposition the nipples
- Improve symmetry between both breasts
- Tighten and remove excess skin while preserving breast tissue
How It Is Done:
Performed under general anesthesia, the procedure involves removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple-areola complex. No implant is used unless the patient desires added volume (in which case it becomes a breast lift with augmentation).
Recovery takes about 7–14 days, with visible improvement in contour and firmness.
FAQs:
Q. Will there be visible scars?
A. Yes, but they typically fade over time and are placed in natural skin folds for concealment.
Q. Will a breast lift reduce breast size?
A. Slight reduction may occur due to excess skin removal, but volume isn’t significantly altered unless desired.
Q. Can I combine this with breast implants or fat grafting?
A. Yes, combined procedures are common and discussed during consultation based on your goals.
Q. How long do the results last?
A. Results are long-lasting, especially if you maintain a stable weight and avoid pregnancy afterward.
