Breast Lift

Due to age, pregnancy and breastfeeding, the loss of breast volume and sagginess might occur. In today’s world, most women desire to improve their breast size and shape. Therefore, they can decide to get a breast surgery. Breast lift surgery is similar to breast reduction procedure. Removing excess breast tissue and skin, and relocating the nipple and areola are typical procedures in these surgeries.

What is Breast Lift?

It is crucial to gain a better grasp of the procedure before deciding if this is the best procedure for you. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen, which leads the skin to sag. Once the skin loses its elasticity, only diet and exercise are not enough. A breast lift, also called “mastopexy” is a plastic surgery designed to reshape and lift saggy or droopy breasts. It is also performed to fix enlarged areolas and nipples facing downward and the asymmetry between the breasts. These unwanted changes in the breasts and drooping can be caused by pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, or simply aging. Breast lift makes it possible to achieve a more youthful and firmer breast appearance that looks voluminous.

Breast Lift Techniques

There are several breast lift techniques that are designed to address different concerns. After your consultation, the plastic surgeons will decide to perform one of them, depending on your needs and desires:

• Peri-Areolar Breast Lift

In this technique, also known as “donut lift”, one circular incision around the edge of the areola is made. A mild degree of sagging and enlarged areola can be fixed with this procedure which leaves minimal scarring.

• Vertical Breast Lift

Due to the shape of the incision, this technique is also called “lollipop lift”. This technique is suitable for women who have moderate sagging and need extensive reshaping.

• Crescent Breast Lift

This technique is ideal for women with minimal sagging. A small incision -which leaves an almost invisible scar- around the top half of the areola is made to perform this technique.

• Anchor Breast Lift

This technique, also known as “inverted T lift” is perfect for women who have extensive sagging and need a dramatic change in their breasts.

Is Breast Lift right for me?

If you are unhappy with droopy breasts, enlarged areolas and nipples facing downward, and need a correction in your breasts’ shape and symmetry, then breast lift surgery is the right procedure to consider. You should be in good general health and if you are a smoker, you should be able to quit for a few weeks.

Breast Lift Results and Recovery

Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about 2-4 hours. Swelling in the breasts, chest discomfort and numbness are normal and temporary. Most women are able to return to work after 2 weeks. The results of your breast lift surgery are immediately visible and improve gradually over time.
