Breast Lift | 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 .

Case 1 : A 26 year old with a history of one pregnancy underwent a Mastopexy or Breast Lift in the Office Operating Suite.

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.

Lateral before and after views of result of Breast Lift or Mastopexy. Note that the scars are not at all visible from this viewpoint, and the nipples now project in the correct direction. A mid "C" cup size was restored.
