The Procedure:
A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that raises and reshapes the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. The steps include:
- Consultation & Planning: Surgeons assess breast sagging, skin elasticity, and patient goals to recommend the best surgical approach.
- Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia for patient comfort.
- Incision Techniques: The choice of incision depends on the level of lift required:
- Peri-areolar (Donut Lift): Ideal for mild sagging with minimal scarring
- Vertical (Lollipop Lift): Best for moderate sagging, offering better reshaping
- Anchor Lift: Used for significant sagging, allowing for maximum lift and contouring
- Reshaping & Lifting: The breast tissue is lifted, excess skin is removed, and the nipple is repositioned for a youthful appearance.
- Closing the Incisions: Sutures are placed, and supportive bandages or a surgical bra are applied for healing.
Recovery:
The healing process is crucial for achieving the best results:
- First few days: Swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort managed with pain medication
- Week 1-2: Limited physical activity; wearing a compression bra for support
- Week 3-6: Gradual return to normal activities; avoiding strenuous exercise
- Final results: Visible after 3-6 months, with scars fading over time
Post-Op Care & Precautions:
To ensure optimal healing and long-lasting results, patients should:
✔️ Follow surgeon’s instructions on wound care and medications
✔️ Wear a supportive bra to aid healing and maintain breast shape
✔️ Avoid sleeping on your stomach for at least 4-6 weeks
✔️ Refrain from heavy lifting and strenuous activities until cleared by the surgeon
✔️ Maintain a stable weight and healthy lifestyle to prolong results
