BREAST LIFT | MASTOPLEXY
Breast Lift
(Also known as Mastoplexy)
Aging and other lifestyle factors can lead to a loss of firmness and elasticity in the breasts. A breast lift helps rejuvenate this area, restoring your breasts to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing state.
A breast lift involves the removal of excess skin and the tightening of surrounding tissue to create a firmer and more youthful breast contour. Additionally, this cosmetic surgery can address enlarged areolas by reducing their size.
Breast lifts are sometimes combined with other surgeries such as breast augmentation to achieve the best possible outcomes. During a consultation, Dr. Sean can assess your needs and help determine whether a combination procedure or a breast lift alone is most suitable for you.
Is a Breast Lift Right For Me?
You may be a good candidate if you want to correct:
- Sagging or loss of shape and volume in your breasts
- Breasts with a flatter, elongated appearance or pendulous shape
- Nipples that fall below the breast crease when unsupported
- Downward-pointing nipples and areolas
- Stretched skin and enlarged areolas
- Asymmetry, with one breast lower than the other
Breast Lift Benefits
Positive outcomes of a breast lift may include:
- Firmer-looking breasts: Elevating the breasts restores their position on the chest and improves firmness, removing the deflated effect associated with sagging.
- Enhanced nipple projection: A breast lift repositions the nipple-areolar complex to project forward naturally, combating downward-pointing nipples.
- More attractive shape: Deflated breasts can compromise their desired aesthetic shape. Lifting breast tissue results in a more supple and appealing contour.
- Rejuvenated appearance: A breast lift can help you reclaim your breasts’ perky and youthful look.
- Reduced irritation: When combined with a minor breast reduction, a breast lift can alleviate discomfort from chafing.
What To Expect
A breast lift is performed under general anesthesia or general anesthesia, depending on your specific needs. The procedure typically lasts two to three hours.
After your breast lift, your breasts will be wrapped in gauze and a supportive surgical bra. You can expect swelling and bruising for about two weeks, along with discomfort around the incisions. Numbness in the nipples, areolae, and breast skin may persist for around six weeks. Dr. Sean will prescribe pain medication and offer detailed post operative instructions.
Appearance changes will be immediately visible, with ongoing settling and shaping over the following months. While scars are permanent, they will soften and thin within one to two years. You might notice a slight decrease in bra size after surgery, whether or not you had a breast reduction. This is due to the firming and rounding effect on the breasts.
Breast lift results are not always permanent, as natural skin elasticity can still diminish with age. Maintaining a healthy stable weight is key for optimal results.
