Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Breast lift is a common surgical procedure that is performed to correct loose, sagging breasts by uplifting the breast tissue and nipple areola area to a higher position and creating rounder, firmer breasts.
The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under sedation and local or general anesthesia. The design of the incisions can vary but usually includes incisions around the nipple-areola complex and in the crease under the breast. The nipple-areola complex is repositioned higher, the excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more normal position. The insertion of an implant at this time may or may not be advisable.
WHAT TO EXPECT: The patient goes home in a bra with only light dressings over the incision lines. The bra is worn as a "dressing" for 2-3 weeks. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication and the application of ice packs. Light activities may be started in 7-10 days.
