Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
This operation is ideal for patients who:
- Have moderate to severe breast drooping
- Have sufficient breast volume to meet their size goals
- Have been pregnant and/or undergone breast feeding
- Have had substantial weight changes through life, including after substantial weight loss
Mastopexy (breast lift), is an operation re-establishes the ideal size and shape of the breast, nipple and areola using your own breast tissue. In this operation, excess skin is removed, the breast tissue is rearranged to promote the ideal breast shape, and the nipple areola complex is raised to the appropriate place on the breast mound. Patients will decide with Dr. Platt the type of scar that is required to best address their goals. Most patients will have same-day surgery, meaning they will be discharged home the same day as the operation. Dr. Platt will discuss the recovery process and establish a follow-up schedule with you.
Age, time, genetics, weight loss, pregnancy and the unfortunate reality that is gravity – all contribute to the loss of shape, volume, projection and placement of your breasts. A breast lift restores the proportional, youthful and perky shape you once had or have always desired
If you have low nipples, droopy, saggy or asymmetrical breasts, a lift should be considered to correct and enhance your shape. Along with sagginess and a loss of volume, the skin around your nipples may have stretched. The combination of factors that may have contributed to an unsatisfactory breast shape can easily be reversed with a lift. We want you to feel beautiful, attractive and confident in your body.
Key Benefits:
- Reverse the signs of age, time, genetics, weight loss, and pregnancy
- Gain perky, well-shaped and proportionate breasts
- Customized approach for your definition of beautiful and attractive results
- Safe and long-lasting
