What is a Breast Lift?

Time, life, and gravity can take a toll on even the most beautiful breasts. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and rejuvenate sagging breasts, restoring them to a more youthful position and correcting nipple placement. At Athēnix in Marina Del Rey, our board-certified plastic surgeons prioritize minimizing scars. The choice of incisions for addressing sagging breasts depends on each patient's unique breast and nipple condition.

Is a Breast Lift for You?

In the 21st century, women have the privilege of correcting the effects of time, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging on their bodies. If you've experienced a decline in your feminine curves due to these factors, cosmetic procedures are available to help you regain a youthful and fresh profile. A breast lift in Marina Del Rey at Athēnix can address various unwanted conditions, including:

  • 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 appearance
  • Breasts that have descended due to reduced skin elasticity
  • Downward-facing nipples

The Benefits of a Breast Lift

  • Projection of the breasts
  • Improved cleavage
  • Rejuvenated nipple position
  • Enhanced balance between the breasts and buttocks
  • Higher, firmer breasts
  • The ability to go braless or wear low-cut necklines and bikini tops
  • Increased self-confidence and overall well-being

Choosing Your Lift

A breast lift procedure involves the removal of excess skin to provide a tighter, more elevated breast appearance. While a breast lift alone doesn't alter breast size, it can be combined with breast augmentation to restore lost volume or increase size. Your Athēnix plastic surgeon will evaluate your needs to achieve the most attractive and balanced outcome.

Anchor lift

The anchor breast lift technique involves 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 uses a surgical method with a crescent-shaped incision around the upper border of the areola to focus on elevating and reshaping the breast for a subtle lift.

Circumareolar lift

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

Combining a Breast Lift With Other Treatments

At Athēnix, you can undergo a comprehensive transformation by combining a breast lift with other treatments. For example, women experiencing sagging in both the breast and abdominal areas may benefit from a mommy makeover, which includes a breast lift and tummy tuck. Combining breast augmentation with a lift can result in larger, perkier breasts for a more dramatic transformation.

Your Recovery Process

Immediate Post-Op & Day Of

Following your breast lift surgery, you'll be transported to a recovery area for close monitoring by medical professionals. Pain and discomfort are common; you will receive medication to manage these symptoms. Your breasts will be securely wrapped with bandages and placed in a surgical bra for essential support.

Following Days

Rest and refraining from strenuous activities are vital for several days post-surgery. While you may still experience some pain and discomfort, these sensations should gradually subside.

One Week

Around one week after your procedure, you'll return to Athēnix for a follow-up appointment. Your surgeon will remove the bandages, assess the healing progress, and determine whether you still need to wear a surgical bra for added support.

Two Weeks

You can typically resume work and engage in light activities after two weeks. However, it's essential to continue avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.

Six Weeks

You can usually resume normal activities at the six-week mark, including exercise. The breasts will have undergone substantial healing, and any scars will begin to fade.

Three Months

Around the three-month mark, you will follow up with your Athēnix surgeon. The scars will continue to fade, and the breasts will have settled into their new position.

Six Months

Six months post-surgery, the breasts will have fully healed, and any remaining scars will continue to fade. This is the point at which you can expect to see the final results of your breast lift surgery.

Perky Results

Whether due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or genetic factors, many women wish to regain the high, firm, perky breasts they once had. While no one can turn back time, breast lift results can do wonders for your overall appearance and well-being, improving clothing fit, boosting confidence, and enhancing your overall figure.

Breast Lift FAQ

How do I choose between a breast augmentation or a breast lift?

Can exercise improve the appearance of sagging breasts?

What are the potential risks of breast lift surgery?

Will breast lift surgery result in noticeable scars?

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

What is the minimum age requirement for a breast lift?

How do I choose between a breast augmentation or a breast lift?

Selecting between a breast augmentation and a breast lift involves considering your specific goals. Combining breast augmentation with a lift is an excellent choice if you desire a more substantial change, with fuller, firmer, and elevated breasts. Conversely, if you are content with your breast volume and primarily seek restoration and elevation, a breast lift on its own may suffice.

Can exercise improve the appearance of sagging breasts?

While maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise is crucial for overall well-being, the effects of life, aging, and gravity may lead to breast changes that exercise alone can't fully address. To rejuvenate and uplift sagging breasts, a breast lift procedure offers a more effective solution with or without saline or silicone gel implants for augmentation.

What are the potential risks of breast lift surgery?

Breast lift surgery carries a few risks, including the possibility of scarring, infection, complications related to anesthesia, changes in nipple sensation, asymmetry, and delayed healing. Discussing any concerns about these risks with your surgeon before the procedure is essential.

Will breast lift surgery result in noticeable scars?

Breast lift surgery, like most surgical procedures, does leave some scarring. However, our experienced plastic surgeons employ advanced techniques to minimize scarring, making them as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, these scars tend to fade and become less noticeable.

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

Typically, breast lift surgery does not significantly impede your ability to breastfeed. To ensure minimal impact on your future breastfeeding capability, discussing your intentions with your surgeon during the consultation is advisable.

What is the minimum age requirement for a breast lift?

There's no fixed age limit for a breast lift procedure. Eligibility is determined based on your health and aesthetic goals rather than age. Surgeons assess candidacy during personalized consultations.
