Lift and Renew

What is Mastopexy?

Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts. Factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can contribute to breast ptosis (sagging). This procedure aims to reposition the breast tissue and nipples while removing excess skin to create a firmer, more youthful breast contour. By restoring a natural lift to the breasts, patients experience increased confidence and improved aesthetics.

Elevate Your Natural Beauty

What is the Mastopexy procedure like?

Patients will arrive at our facility on the day of the surgery and undergo a thorough pre-operative assessment. Anesthesia will be administered to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. Depending on the extent of sagging and the desired outcome, Dr. Lee will select an appropriate breast lift technique. This technique involves making incisions to remove excess skin and reposition the breast tissue. The incisions are carefully closed to promote healing and minimize scarring.

Mastopexy Techniques Include:

  • Wise Pattern (Anchor Technique): Ideal for severe sagging, creates an inverted T scar.
  • Vertical Mastopexy (Keyhole Technique): Creates a vertical scar, offering less visibility.
  • Periareolar Mastopexy (Doughnut Technique): Results in minimal scarring around the areola, suitable for mild sagging.

Reclaim Your Shape

What conditions does Mastopexy address?

Mastopexy effectively treats common conditions related to breast sagging, including:

  • Sagging Breasts: Restores the position of the breasts, providing a lifted appearance.
  • Loss of Firmness: Tightens excess breast skin to restore youthful shape and contour.
  • Nipple Positioning: Repositions nipples that have descended below the breast crease.
  • Breast Asymmetry: Improves symmetry between the breasts by reshaping and lifting them.

Elevating Breast Position

What are the benefits of Mastopexy?

Undergoing a breast lift offers several benefits, including:

Enhanced Confidence

Many women experience increased self-esteem after mastopexy, as they feel more comfortable and satisfied with their appearance.

Improved Breast Shape and Position

Mastopexy provides a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing breast contour, enhancing overall body proportions.

Clothing Fit

With lifted and reshaped breasts, patients often find clothing fits better, making it easier to wear a variety of styles.

Long-Lasting Results

While the natural aging process continues, many patients enjoy the results of their breast lift for 10-15 years or more, especially with proper aftercare.

Potential for Combined Procedures

Patients can choose to combine mastopexy with breast augmentation or reduction, tailoring the procedure to their specific goals.

Enhance, Uplift, and Restore

Am I a Candidate for Mastopexy?

Ideal candidates for mastopexy are healthy women who:

  • Are non-smokers and have stable body weight.
  • Are satisfied with their breast size but desire to correct sagging.
  • Have realistic expectations regarding the results of the procedure.
  • Are bothered by issues such as sagging breasts, flattened breast shape, or asymmetry.

Women with certain medical conditions or those who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant should consult with Dr. Lee to determine their candidacy for mastopexy.

Care That Counts

Mastopexy Recovery

Mastopexy is typically an outpatient procedure, allowing patients to return home a few hours after surgery. Post-operative care involves wearing a surgical bra for 4-6 weeks to support healing. Initial recovery includes discomfort, swelling, and bruising, which are manageable with prescribed pain medication. Patients should avoid strenuous activities, lifting, or any movements that strain the chest area during the first few weeks. Follow-up appointments will help monitor healing and ensure optimal results.

Mastopexy Results

Patients will notice immediate improvements in breast shape and position following mastopexy. However, final results may take 6-12 months to fully manifest as swelling subsides and tissues settle. Many women enjoy long-lasting outcomes, maintaining an enhanced breast contour for years with proper care and support.

Mastopexy Frequently Asked Questions

What are the risks associated with mastopexy?

While mastopexy is generally safe, potential risks include anesthesia complications, bleeding, infection, and changes in nipple sensation. Dr. Lee will discuss these risks during your consultation.

Will there be visible scarring?

Scarring is inevitable with any surgical procedure. However, Dr. Lee employs advanced techniques to minimize scar visibility, and they typically fade over time.

How soon can I return to work?

Most patients can return to work or normal activities within 1-2 weeks, depending on their comfort level and the nature of their job.

Can I breastfeed after mastopexy?

While many women can breastfeed after a breast lift, some may experience changes in nipple sensation or milk production. Discuss your plans with Dr. Lee during your consultation.

How long will the results last?

Results can last 10-15 years or more, but individual factors such as aging and lifestyle choices may affect longevity.

Can I combine a breast lift with other procedures?

Yes, mastopexy can be combined with breast augmentation, reduction, or other body contouring procedures for comprehensive results.

What should I expect during my initial consultation?

During your consultation, Dr. Lee will evaluate your breast anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the most suitable procedure and technique.

How can I prepare for mastopexy?

Preparation includes discussing medical history, adjusting medications, and quitting smoking at least four weeks before surgery.

Does insurance cover mastopexy?

Mastopexy is considered a cosmetic procedure, since it’s not a breast reduction (removing volume rather than lifting), so it is not covered by insurance. However, Dr. Lee's office can assist you with financing options.

How can I ensure optimal results after surgery?

Following post-operative care instructions, attending follow-up appointments, and maintaining a stable weight will help ensure the best results from your mastopexy.
