Time can take its toll on the breasts through pregnancy, nursing and natural aging. If you feel you have lost the youthful shape and firmness of your breasts, a procedure called a mastopexy, or Breast Lift, can raise and reshape sagging breasts. In some cases, a Breast Lift can also modify your breasts by reducing the size of the areola, which is the circular pigmented area around the nipple; a breast enlargement procedure can be done at the same time to provide additional fullness.
How is the Breast Lift procedure performed?
A Breast Lift or mastopexy procedure consists of incisions being made in order for the surgeon to remove excess skin, reposition the nipple to a higher position, and reshape the breast. Several variations of the procedure exist and your surgeon will decide which technique is best for you depending on your breast shape, fullness, and the desired result.
What kind of follow up care will I need?
To monitor your progress and to insure you are taking care of yourself properly, you will return to your surgeon's office for a post-operative follow-up visit almost immediately, and then periodically thereafter. If an enlargement was done, you will be instructed on post-operative care that involves breast massaging.
