Rejuvenate Your Silhouette with a Breast Lift

Revitalize your appearance with a Breast Lift that raises and reshapes to perfection. Our skilled surgeons tailor each procedure to restore your youthful contour and firmness.

What is Breast Lift?

A breast lift- also known as mastopexy-is a surgical procedure performed by a plastic surgeon to change the shape of your breasts. During a breast lift, excess skin is removed and breast tissue is reshaped to raise the breasts. You might choose to have a breast lift if your breasts sag or your nipples point downward. A breast lift might also boost your self-image and self- confidence.A breast lift won’t significantly change the size of your breasts. However, a breast lift can be done in combination with breast augmentation or breast reduction.

What is involved in Breast Lift surgery

Breast lift surgery, medically known as mastopexy, involves several key steps to enhance the appearance of sagging breasts. The procedure begins with anesthesia—patients are typically given general anesthesia for comfort. The surgeon then makes one of several possible incisions: around the areola, down from the areola to the breast crease, or horizontally along the breast crease.

Through these incisions, excess skin is removed, the nipple and areola are repositioned higher on the chest, and the breast tissue is reshaped to improve breast contour and firmness. The incisions are then closed with sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape.

Why Choose a Breast Lift Surgery

A breast lift is chosen for both aesthetic and practical reasons. Aesthetically, a breast lift provides a more youthful and perky appearance to breasts that have sagged due to age, pregnancy, or significant weight changes.

Practically, the surgery can relieve some forms of discomfort like skin irritation under the breast fold. Moreover, this surgery often helps women feel more comfortable in their skin, boosting self-esteem and broadening fashion choices.

Reasons of causing breast sagging

As you get older, your breasts change-losing elasticity and firmness. There are many causes for these kinds of breast changes, including:

A breast lift can reduce sagging and raise the position of the nipples and the darker area surrounding the nipples (areolae). The size of the areolae can also be reduced during the procedure to keep them in proportion to the newly shaped breasts.

Ideal Candidates

Criteria

The best candidates for a breast lift are women who are in good health, non-smokers, and those who have a stable weight. Ideal candidates should also have sagging breasts that lack firmness or substance, nipples that point downward, or breasts that are elongated or flat in shape. It’s crucial that candidates have realistic expectations about what the surgery can achieve.

Expectation

Candidates should expect an improved breast shape with more youthful appearance. However, it’s important to note that while results are long-lasting, they are not immune to the effects of aging and gravity. Discussing potential outcomes and viewing before-and-after photos during consultations can help in setting realistic expectations.

The Procedure

Consultation

During your initial consultation, our surgeons will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and explain the perfect solution available.

Preparation

Before the procedure, you will receive detailed instructions on how to prepare. This may include guidelines on eating, drinking, and which medications to avoid.

Anesthesia

Depending on the extent of the procedure and your comfort, liposuction can be performed under general anesthesia.

During your initial consultation, our surgeons will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and explain the different liposuction techniques available.

Recovery

Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures. You will be given a compression garment to wear, which helps reduce swelling and supports the healing tissues.

Follow-Up

Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor your recovery and ensure the best results. Our team will guide you through the recovery process, offering advice and support every step of the way.

Recovery and Aftercare

Timeline for Recovery

Initial recovery from breast lift surgery usually involves a short period of downtime. Most patients are able to return to non-strenuous work within 1-2 weeks after the surgery. Swelling and bruising are normal and generally subside within a few weeks. Full physical recovery can take 6 weeks, during which time strenuous activities should be avoided.

Tips for a Smooth Recovery and Effective Aftercare

Follow Post-Op Instructions: Adhere strictly to the surgeon’s guidelines regarding care of the incisions, medications to apply or take orally, and when to return for follow-up care.
Supportive Garments: Wear the recommended support bras or compression garments to minimize swelling and support the new breast contour.
Activity Limitations: Keep physical activity low for at least the first two weeks. Avoid any lifting, bending, or straining that could stress the incisions.
Monitoring: Keep an eye on your body’s response to the surgery. Any signs of infection, such as unusual discharge, severe pain, or fever, should prompt animmediate call to your surgeon.

Risks and Considerations

Potential Risks and Complications

Breast lift surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries potential risks. These include complications from anesthesia, infection, bleeding, hematoma formation, and delayed wound healing. There are also aesthetic risks such as asymmetry, unsatisfactory positioning of the nipples, or loss of nipple sensation. Scarring is inevitable, though it typically fades over time.

What kind of anesthesia is used for Breast Lift Surgery?

The type of anesthesia used during surgery depends on the extent of the procedure and the patient’s comfort level. For smaller areas, local anesthesia may be sufficient, which numbs only the treated area. For more extensive procedures, general anesthesia or IV sedation might be used to ensure that the patient remains comfortable and pain-free throughout the surgery.

How long do I need to wear a support bra after surgery?

We recommend wearing a support bra day and night for the first month after surgery to help reduce swelling and support your new breast shape.

Will a breast lift affect my ability to breastfeed?

A breast lift can potentially interfere with breastfeeding capabilities. If you plan to breastfeed in the future, discuss this with your surgeon during the consultation.

Is there an ideal age for a breast lift?

There is no ideal age; however, it’s best to have the surgery when no further pregnancies are planned, and you are at a stable weight to maintain results.

What is the difference between a breast lift and breast augmentation?

A breast lift reshapes and lifts the breasts without altering their size, while breast augmentation increases the breasts’ size with implants. Some patients choose to have both procedures to achieve both lift and volume increase.

How long do the results of a breast lift last?

The results of a breast lift can be long-lasting, but they are not permanent. Factors such as aging, gravity, pregnancy, and changes in weight can affect the longevity of the results. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help extend the results.

What is the recovery process like after a breast lift?

Recovery varies by individual, but generally, patients can expect to take it easy for at least a week, with many returning to work in about 7-10 days. Swelling and bruising are common, and a support bra may need to be worn for several weeks to aid healing and support the reshaped breasts.
