Breast Lift (Mastopexy) is a surgical procedure performed that reshapes and lifts
up sagging breasts. As the skin loses its flexibility, the breasts often lose
their shape and firmness and begin to sag. Your plastic surgeon will remove
excess tissue, and with the remaining tissue, reposition your breast. This
plastic surgery procedure typically takes anywhere from 1-3.5 hours. Most patients
are back to work within 7-10 days.
Are you a Good Candidate?
Is this you?
• Have your breasts lost there firmness due to weight loss or pregnancy?
• Do your breasts "sag" due to age, gravity, pregnancy
or weight loss?
• Are you unhappy with the shape of your breasts?
• Are you unhappy with the firmness of your breast?
If you:
• Have unrealistic expectations this may not be for you. You should
discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
• Are not physically healthy, you would not be a good candidate
for breast lift.
• Are planning to have a child, consider waiting. Discuss this
with your plastic surgeon. There are usually no special risks with pregnancy
(you will still be able to breast feed) but your breasts are likely to be stretched
again.
