Breast Lift or Mastopexy

 

Breast Lift or Mastopexy: 
 

Breast Lift,  or  Mastopexy,     is  similar  to Breast Reduction,  except  only  the  excess  skin  is  removed,   saving  breast  tissue  volume and  compacting  it  to restore   breast shape and   feel.     Scars  result,     but  are  positioned  to minimize visibility.     With time the scars will fade, and flatten,  usually producing     a    pleasing     youthful     result.    Examples   of mastopexy   are   presented  below  with  post-op  photos at about    3  months.     Breast Lift    or    Mastopexy   is  usually performed     in    my    Office   Surgical   Suite    under   Local Anesthesia   with    Sedation,   minimizing   cost.

 

Photos Before and After Surgery:

Case 1:     A   26 year old with a  history  of  one  pregnancy underwent   a Mastopexy  or Breast    Lift      in    the   Office Operating Suite, Breast Lift of Mastopexy for Breast Sag or Ptosis Breast Lift Mastopexy Before     and     after   photos     3  months  after a Breast   Lift.  Scars   are    placed  around  the areola,  down  the front of the   breast,   and   in  the fold  beneath.    Other  techniques  require  only  a  scar  around  the areola,   but   necessitate    a  longer  adjustment  period  until     the    skin    relaxes   to achieve   the    more  youthful shape.
