Breast Lift
Many patients complain to me about the droopiness of their breasts. Some are happy with the overall volume or size of their breasts, but feel they tend to wrinkle and fold in a bra. Mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, can reduce the skin excess and elevate the saggy nipple to a more acceptable level. No implant is necessary if a patient is happy with her overall size. The surgery takes about two hours to perform and the recovery is about one week off from work.
Other women feel that in addition to droopy breasts, they have lost volume over the years. This quite common in women who have had and nursed children. Mastopexy augment, or a breast lift augmentation, tightens the breast skin, elevates the nipple to a better height and increases the size for better upper chest fullness. My preference is a partial sub pectoral implant plane so the recovery from this surgery is a bit lengthier than just a breast lift. Most patients are able to return to work after two weeks and to the gym after three weeks.
