Everything you need to know about breast lift

A breast lift is also known as a mastopexy. This surgical procedure can remove any excess skin to raise sagging breasts and give a firmer and rounder appearance.

It's important to note that a Breast Lift only lifts the breasts. Patients would need breast augmentation surgery to increase their breast size.

Who can benefit from a breast Lift?

A breast lift is usually performed on patients that suffer from skin laxity due to natural aging or significant weight loss. Women who have gone through pregnancy and breastfeeding may also opt for it. It is often completed alongside breast augmentation surgery, breast reduction or areola surgery.

How is a breast lift done?

A breast lift procedure uses various incision techniques. These depend on the breast size and shape, the areola position and the severity of the sagging skin.

During a vertical lift, surgeons make an incision around the areola. They extend it downwards from the base of the areola to under the breast's crease. This helps to conceal the scar better.

The inverted T-lift results in an incision around the areola, down the front of the breast and then running underneath the breast. This technique is most suitable for larger breasts and more severe sagging.

The Periareolar Lift creates an incision on the outline of the areola to resize the areola and lift the breast.

The Crescent Lift creates a crescent-shaped incision around the areola. This method is best for minor sagging.  The surgeon will first mark out the areas on the breast to indicate the position to which the breast will be lifted. They administer general anesthetic. The surgeon will make the incision based on your breast type. They will first reshape the breast and lift it before repositioning the areola to center it. After this, they remove excess skin and fat before closing it up with stitches. 

What is recovery like after a breast lift?

It is usual for patients to experience swelling and discomfort after surgery. Doctors recommend patients sleep on their back while keeping their chest propped up using 
pillows. This will aid in quicker recovery. The breasts are noticeably lifted almost immediately. It will take a maximum of 12 months for them to settle into their permanent position.
