What is a Breast Lift?

Over time, life experiences and the effects of gravity can lead to sagging despite the initial beauty of your breasts. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is intended to elevate and revitalize sagging breasts, returning them to a more youthful position while adjusting nipple placement. At Athēnix, our board-certified plastic surgeons prioritize minimizing scars. The selection of incisions for addressing breast sagging is tailored to each patient's unique breast and nipple condition.

Who is a Candidate for a Breast Lift?

Modern women now have the advantage of addressing the effects of life and time on their bodies. If pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or the natural aging process have altered the appeal of your feminine curves, cosmetic procedures are available to help you regain that youthful, fresh profile. A breast lift can resolve a variety of undesirable conditions, including the following:

  • Sagging or pendulous breasts
  • Loss of breast volume due to weight loss or breastfeeding
  • Breasts that appear deflated or flat
  • Decreased fullness in the upper breasts
  • Loss of firmness
  • Unattractive cleavage
  • Breasts descending due to reduced skin elasticity
  • Nipples pointing downward

Choosing Your Lift

Our surgeons offer a range of incision placement techniques to choose from for your breast lift procedure. Your surgeon will suggest the most suitable type of breast lift for you based on the amount of excess skin, the condition of your existing breast tissue, and your personal goals, aiming to achieve the most appealing results with minimal scarring. The types of breast lifts include the following:

Anchor lift

The anchor breast lift technique uses incisions encircling the areola, extending vertically down the breast, and horizontally along the breast crease to achieve a comprehensive lift.

Crescent lift

The crescent breast lift utilizes a surgical approach with a crescent-shaped incision around the upper border of the areola, aiming to elevate and reshape the breast for a more subtle lift.

Circumareolar lift

The circumareolar lift method involves an incision encircling the perimeter of the areola to reshape and elevate the breasts, often recommended for minor lifting and contouring.

Pairing Breast Lift with Complementary Treatments

Athēnix provides complete transformations by integrating a breast lift with other procedures. For instance, a mommy makeover incorporates a breast lift and tummy tuck for women dealing with sagging in both the breast and abdominal areas. Furthermore, combining breast augmentation with a lift can lead to larger, perkier breasts, resulting in a more pronounced transformation.

Breast Lift Recovery

Immediate Post-Op & Day Of

It is normal to experience pain and discomfort, which can be alleviated with medication. Your breasts will be securely wrapped with bandages and placed in a surgical bra to ensure necessary support.

Following Days

It is essential to rest and refrain from strenuous activities for several days after surgery. Although you may continue to experience some pain and discomfort, these sensations should gradually diminish.

One Week

Approximately one week after your procedure, you will revisit Athēnix for a follow-up appointment. During this visit, your surgeon will remove the bandages, evaluate the healing progress, and decide whether you should continue wearing a surgical bra for additional support.

Two Weeks

You can usually return to work and participate in light activities after two weeks. Nonetheless, it is important to continue avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.

Six Weeks

Typically, at the six-week mark, you can resume normal activities, including exercise. By this time, the breasts will have undergone significant healing, and any scars will start to fade.

Three Months

At approximately three months post-surgery, you will have a follow-up appointment with your Athēnix surgeon. By this time, the scars will continue to fade, and the breasts will have adjusted to their new position.

Six Months

At the six-month mark following the surgery, the breasts will be completely healed, and any remaining scars will continue to fade. This is the stage at which you can anticipate seeing the ultimate outcomes of your breast lift surgery.

Bouncy Results

Numerous women seek to regain the high, firm, perky breasts they once had, often due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, natural aging, or genetics. Although time cannot be reversed, the results of a breast lift can significantly enhance your overall appearance and well-being, improving clothing fit, boosting confidence, and enhancing your overall figure.

What factors determine what kind of breast lift is right for me?

The initial consideration is how you envision the improvement of your breasts. Following that, factors such as size, shape, degree of sagging, skin health, age, and other relevant aspects are taken into account. Additionally, the areolas' position, size, and shape are also carefully considered.

What kinds of incisions will be made during the procedure?

This is primarily determined by the extent of lift needed to achieve your desired look. The crescent incision is minimal and suitable for minimal sagging or when used in combination with implants. The anchor incision is effective for correcting significant sagging. Various other types of incisions, including those made in the armpit, are suitable for saline implants.

What can a breast lift correct?

In addition to addressing sagging, a breast lift can also rectify cosmetic concerns such as downward-pointing nipples, loss of rounded, firm, youthful breast tissue, and overall sagging.

How long does a breast lift take?

The duration typically ranges around two hours, varying based on the specific procedures involved, and may be longer if combined with other surgeries. Following the procedure, you will be discharged to go home, but having a friend or family member drive you is essential.

Am I a candidate for a breast lift?

If changes in your breast volume or firmness have occurred due to factors such as weight loss, aging, or childbearing, and you are in good health with realistic expectations, you are likely a suitable candidate.

Will there be scarring?

Yes, but we employ advanced suturing techniques to reduce the size and visibility of scarring. The overall benefits of a breast lift significantly surpass any concerns about scarring.
