BREAST LIFT SURGERY

Natural-Looking Results with Mastopexy

Breasts lose their shape and firmness due to gravity, weight loss, pregnancy, and nursing, all of which can cause them to sag. Mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, restores a more youthful appearance to a woman’s breast. The results raise and reshape the breasts, slowing the effects of aging and gravity. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, which is the darker skin surrounding the nipple, if the patient desires.

BENEFITS OF BREAST Enhancement

Mastopexy offers a range of benefits that can enhance your confidence and help you feel more comfortable in your body. Patients choose breast lifts to:

Improve shape and symmetry
Achieve firmer breast appearance
Create natural and youthful-looking results
Improve nipple projection
Fit into clothing and swimwear better
Feel younger and more feminine
Enhance without foreign materials
Get a more attractive breast shape

Breast lifts alone remove the sagging breast tissue and reposition the nipple. For this reason, many patients appreciate that lifts are easily combined with breast augmentation (implants) to increase the fullness in the upper pole of the breast and provide cleavage.

At Advanced Body Sculpting of New England, breast lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure in a AAAHC-accredited facility under intravenous sedation and local anesthesia. Depending on the breast size and whether concomitant augmentation is being performed, the surgery may take 1.5 to 3.5 hours.

Incisions are made around the areola and vertically beneath the areola (the so-called “lollipop” incision) and sometimes in the horizontal crease (inframammary fold) area. Dr. Mark X. Lowney utilizes the “Staple Shape” technique, in which the excess skin is tailor-tacked before removal with small staples to remove the appropriate amount of sagging skin. Usually, some breast tissue is also removed, then the nipple and areola are repositioned, and the skin is closed with absorbable sutures. Breast lift surgery will actually make the breasts smaller due to the excess skin and breast tissue that is removed. Because of this, most patients proceed to have implants placed simultaneously.

After surgery, your sutures will be covered with steri-strips, and a surgical bra will hold the breasts in place. Drains are usually not placed after breast lift surgery. Your breasts will be swollen and bruised, and you may experience mild discomfort for a couple of days. This discomfort is generally well controlled with oral pain medication.

The steri-strips will be removed one week after surgery. The scars may be red and lumpy for a few months, eventually fading and becoming less noticeable. Scar creams are available that may help the final appearance of the scars.

A breast lift can be a life-changing procedure for those looking to enhance the appearance of their breasts and restore confidence in their body. Good candidates for mastopexy include:

Women aged 18 to 65+ who are seeking breast enhancement procedures.
Those in good overall health, without medical conditions that could impair healing.
Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after surgery to ensure optimal healing.
Anyone seeking aesthetic improvements to the shape, size, or position of their breasts.
Those interested in breast augmentation, a lift, or a combination of both to achieve their desired look.
Someone comfortable with the possibility of scars, such as around the areola or vertically from the areola to the inframammary fold.
Those experiencing sagging or loss of volume due to aging, weight changes, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.

It’s important to have realistic expectations about the results of breast lift surgery and understand its limitations. If you’re considering breast enhancement, don’t hesitate to schedule a consultation. This is your opportunity to speak with experts, ask questions, and address any concerns to see if it’s the right fit for you.

As with any surgery, there are possible complications. Although rare, there are adverse effects from anesthesia, as well as the possibility of bleeding and infection that can cause the scars to widen. Diabetics and smokers are at a higher risk for wound breakdown, infection, and possible loss of the skin of the nipple and areola regions. You will need to quit smoking for a minimum of 6 weeks before surgery to minimize the risk of complications. Breast lift surgery can also leave you unevenly positioned nipples or a permanent loss of feeling in your nipples or breasts. As always, individual experiences will vary.

Statistically, 30% of all women are unable to breastfeed even if they have had no breast surgery. However, because some milk ducts are disrupted during the surgery, you may not be able to breastfeed following any breast surgery. Some women successfully breastfeed after the procedure, but it is difficult to determine who will be able to. Most women delay surgery until childbearing is complete to avoid any potential breastfeeding issues.

A breast lift is a great way to enhance your natural breast appearance by restoring position and improving contour. Unlike breast implants, a lift does not involve the use of foreign materials in the body, making it a more natural option if you prefer to avoid implants. A breast lift helps improve the shape, firmness, and overall appearance of sagging or drooping breasts, giving you a more youthful, perky look. Lastly, the results are generally long-lasting, helping you enjoy the benefits of improved breast appearance for many years.

However, a breast lift is not ideal if you are looking to increase volume or improve asymmetry. It primarily focuses on raising and reshaping the breasts and does not add extra volume. For women seeking larger or fuller breasts, implants would be recommended. If you wish to address asymmetry, breast implants would be a better option, as they aid in correcting noticeable asymmetry in terms of size or shape and result in a more balanced appearance.

If you wish to enhance the shape and appearance of your breasts, combining a breast lift with implants may be a suitable option. A breast lift addresses sagging or drooping breasts; excess skin is removed, and breast tissue is reshaped, resulting in a firmer, more lifted appearance. Combining these procedures improves volume and shape, providing a fuller and firmer look. It allows for treating both sagging and volume concerns in one surgery, reducing overall recovery time and surgical risks compared to separate procedures.

HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD YOU TAKE OFF AFTER BREAST LIFT SURGERY?

To ensure proper healing, appropriate post-operative rest and recovery time is needed. If you have a sit down job, you should plan on staying home for at least 1 week. If your job entails physical activity, you should plan on staying home for 2 to 3 weeks. You should refrain from any jogging or activity which will cause the breasts to bounce for at least 1 month.

WILL A BREAST LIFT REDUCE MY CUP SIZE?

Yes. Typically, a breast lift will reduce your bra size by one cup. When excess skin and sagging breast tissue are removed or repositioned during a breast lift, cup sizes are naturally reduced. Following a breast lift, the breasts typically retain a natural teardrop shape, with more fullness towards the bottom. If a patient desires to add volume or fullness to the top of the breast or to create a rounder shape, implants would be recommended.

WHERE ARE BREAST LIFT INCISIONS MADE?

There are several different types of breast lift procedures, each involving a different incision. At Advanced Body Sculpting of New England, Dr. Mark X. Lowney utilizes circumvertical or “lollipop” incisions during breast lift surgery. This type of incision traces all the way around the areola and adds a vertical line down toward the bottom of the breast.
