A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging or drooping breasts. This cosmetic surgery is popular among women who experience changes in breast shape and position due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Breast lift surgery can restore a more youthful and perky appearance to the breasts.

During a breast lift procedure, the surgeon will make incisions on the breasts to remove excess skin and reshape the breast tissue. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful position on the breast mound. The skin is then tightened, and the incisions are closed with sutures. Depending on the degree of sagging, different types of incisions maybe used like anchor shaped, lollipop or periareolar.

Benefits:

• Restored Breast Position: A breast lift can elevate the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall, improving their overall appearance and creating a more youthful contour.
• Improved Breast Shape: The procedure can reshape the breasts, giving them a more rounded and aesthetically pleasing appearance.
• Size Augementation: Women who have deflated, sagging breasts post pregnancy can also get it augmented/ enhanced using silicone based implant and/or fat grafting.

Considerations:

• A breast lift is a surgical procedure that involves general anesthesia and comes with certain risks, such as infection, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and possible difficulty breastfeeding.
• The results of a breast lift can be long-lasting, but over time, natural aging and other factors can still affect breast appearance.
• Patients should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of the procedure. It is essential to have a thorough consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss goals, expectations, and any concerns.
• After the surgery, patients will need to follow post-operative care instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery and achieve optimal results.
