Breast Lift Surgery at WIH Hospital: Experience Renewed Confidence

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that reshapes and elevates sagging breasts. It involves removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the nipple and areola to a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing position.

Surgical Techniques in Breast Lift

 Periareolar Lift (Donut Mastopexy)

     This technique involves an incision made around the areola. It is typically suitable for minimal breast sagging, where only a small amount of skin needs to be removed.

Vertical Lift (Lollipop Mastopexy)

     This technique involves an incision around the areola and a vertical incision extending from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease, suited for moderate sagging breasts.

Inverted T-Lift (Anchor Mastopexy)

     This is the most comprehensive breast lift technique, involving an incision around the areola, a vertical incision, and an additional horizontal incision along the breast crease. It is ideal for patients with significant sagging, substantial excess skin, or those requiring a combination of lift and breast reduction.

FAQ

A breast lift primarily addresses sagging by removing excess skin and reshaping the existing breast tissue. While your breasts may appear fuller and more projected due to their uplifted position, the procedure does not inherently increase their size.

The results of a breast lift are long-lasting, but they are not permanent. The natural aging process, gravity, significant weight fluctuations, and future pregnancies can all affect the longevity of your results over time.

All breast lift procedures involve incisions and will result in permanent scars. The type and extent of scarring depend on the technique used. Scars will be red initially and will fade and flatten over several months to a year.

Most patients can return to light, non-strenuous work within 1 to 2 weeks. Strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and vigorous exercise should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to allow for proper healing. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines based on your recovery.

A breast lift (mastopexy) is performed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening tissues. Breast augmentation aims to increase breast size and volume, typically using implants.
