Breast Lift

Aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and gravity can all take a toll on the appearance of a woman’s breasts, leading to sagging and loss of firmness. The Breast Lift Procedure, also known as mastopexy.

What is a Breast Lift?

A Breast Lift Procedure, or mastopexy, involves the surgical elevation and reshaping of the breasts to create a firmer and more youthful contour.

Types of Breast Lift Techniques

Understanding the different techniques for a Breast Lift Procedure is crucial in making an informed decision. The primary techniques include:

  • Crescent Lift: Involves a small incision around the upper half of the areola, suitable for minimal sagging.
  • Periareolar (Donut) Lift: An incision is made around the perimeter of the areola, suitable for mild sagging.
  • Vertical (Lollipop) Lift: Involves an incision around the areola and vertically down to the breast crease, suitable for moderate sagging.
  • Inverted T (Anchor) Lift: Combines the vertical lift with an additional incision along the breast crease, suitable for significant sagging.

Proper preparation is key to a successful Breast Lift Procedure. Patients are advised to:

Stop smoking several weeks before surgery.

  • Avoid certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding.

The Breast Lift Procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about two to three hours. Dr. Dennis Alwen begins by making incisions according to the chosen technique. Excess skin is removed, and the remaining breast tissue is reshaped and lifted. The nipples and areolas may also be repositioned to a higher, more youthful location. Finally, the incisions are closed with sutures, and the area is bandaged.

Recovery from a Breast Lift Procedure involves several stages. Initially, patients can expect swelling, bruising, and some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Dr. Alwen provides detailed postoperative care instructions, including guidance on managing pain, caring for incisions, and resuming normal activities. Most patients can return to work and light activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery typically taking several months.

Dr. Dennis Alwen takes every precaution to minimize these risks and provides comprehensive care to address any complications that may arise.
