What Is A Breast Lift?
A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, involves removing excess skin from the patient's breast and tightening the surrounding tissue in order to restore firm, perky breasts. This procedure can also be used to reduce the size of your areolas. A breast lift can be performed through various incision techniques: crescent lift, peri-areolar lift, vertical lift, and inverted T lift. Your plastic surgeon will decide which incision is right for you based on the degree of sagging, breast tissue, excess skin, skin elasticity, and your personal goals. Oftentimes, patients want to lift their breasts while adding some volume which is possible by combining a breast lift with implants or fat transfer. In some cases, patients may actually want to remove their current breast implants while undergoing a breast lift. All of these options are possibilities that can be discussed with your board-certified plastic surgeon during a consultation!

Who Is A Good Candidate For A Breast Lift?
Plastic surgery should always be a personal decision that is not influenced by the opinions of others. Patients must be in good health to be considered for this procedure. If you identify with any of the following, then you may be a good candidate for a breast lift:
Sagging breasts
Elongated breasts
One breast is lower than the other
Nipples point downward
You are not planning to have more children as this can compromise results
How Long Is Breast Lift Recovery?
Typically, patients will need at least 1 week off from work and must avoid any cardiovascular activity or heavy lifting (>5lbs) for 4-6 weeks after their mastopexy or breast lift surgery.
It is important to understand that your exact recovery time depends on the extent of your procedure and how your body responds to the surgery. Our team will guide you through your recovery process with post-op instructions in order to ensure a safe and smooth recovery. We also have a 24-hour emergency line if you need to get in contact with one of our providers during your recovery process.
Are There Different Types Of Breast Lifts?
Yes, there are numerous incisions techniques that are used for mastopexy. Your plastic surgeon will decide which technique is best suited for your breast lift goals:
Peri-Areolar Lift: This technique is typically used on patients that have mild sagging. This requires a circular incision that runs along the areola and often times is used in conjunction with a breast augmentation, similar to the crescent lift. This can aid in reducing your areola size as well.
Vertical Lift: This technique corrects moderate sagging while enabling the plastic surgeon to reshape your breast. This involves two incisions--one around the edge of the areola and one under the areola to the inframammary fold. The incision looks similar to the shape of a lollipop.
Inverted T Lift (Anchor): This technique is typically used for patients with severe sagging. This involves three incisions--one around the areola, one under the areola to the breast crease, and another along the inframammary fold. This is the most common technique used for breast lift surgery.
