| Mastopexy (Breast Lift)
Indications:
- Sagging breasts due to past pregnancies, genetics, or aging.
- Enlarged nipple-areolar complexes (pigmented areas around nipples)
Description of Procedure:
- The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia.
- The design of the incision can vary but usually include incisions around the nipple-areolar complex and a possible vertical incision in the mid breast.
- The nipple-areolar complex is repositioned higher, the excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more normal position.
Intended Result:
- An elevated, more youthful breast contour.
- Nipple-areolar complexes of the desired size and at the corrected height.
Recuperation and Healing:
- The patient goes home in a sports bra with only light dressings over the incision lines.
- The bra is worn as a “dressing” for 2-4 weeks.
- Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medication.
- Light activities may be started in 7-10 days. No heavy activity for 4-6 weeks.
