What is Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?

As women get older, their breasts tend to lose their firmness and shape. The skin loses elasticity over time, causing breasts to sag. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight gain, and loss also add to the tissue burden of loss of skin elasticity. Women who have sagging breasts may benefit from a breast lift (mastopexy). If there are also problems of excess volume or size of the breasts, a reduction may also be done at the same time. Volume loss may be corrected by breast augmentation at the same time. Asymmetries may also be improved.
 

Excess skin is removed, the ninipple-areolaromplex is lifted and the breasts are recontoured to create a more youthful appearance with firmer breasts.  Depending on preoperative size, appearance, and asymmetries, the nipple-areolar complexes may also be reduced. There are incisions made directly on the breasts which may extend around the nipple-areolar complex, into the front of the breast, and into the breast fold, depending on the degree of droop, asymmetry, and volume considerations.

Who is a Candidate for Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?

 -Women who have sagging breasts

-Women who want to improve their breast shape

Recovery and Healing after Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

-Postoperative discomfort is controlled with oral medications.

-Surgical drains may be present after the surgery. Dr. Tedesco will determine when these are to be removed 

-A special postoperative support bra may be worn after surgery for a few weeks

-Postoperative care the first night is most commonly at home with a responsible adult

-The patient will be seen the next day for a post-operative checkup.

-Most sutures are internal and do not need to be removed.
