A mastopexy, or breast lift, is a surgical procedure performed to reshape the breast and return it to a more youthful position.
Dropping of the breast may occur after pregnancy as well as with aging. It iscommon to perform a breast implant in conjunction with a breast lift, in order to achieve better results.
Depending on the amount of breast lifting which needs to be accomplished, different techniques may be used which involve different incisions. Generally, the more lifting that is required, the larger the incision (therefore, the larger the scar would be).
The doughnut incision involves incisions around the aereola in a concentric fashion. The amount of lifting that can be achieved is usually greater than with crescent incision.
The appropriate amount of skin is removed.
The breast tissue is tightened with internal sutures and the skin is then closed with sutures to the areola.
Healing time may take several weeks. Ususally, a special bra is worn to support the breast. That takes up to three months. The compression bra is an important part of the recovery process. The bra provides support, comfort and helps minimize the swelling.
