What is a Breast Lift?

As time passes, the effects of aging, life experiences, and gravity can influence the look of even the most attractive breasts. A mastopexy, also known as a breast lift, can reposition sagging breasts to a more youthful state and rectify the placement of nipples. At Athēnix, our plastic surgeons, who are certified by the board, give the utmost importance to reducing scarring. The individual breast and nipple condition of each patient determines the selection of incision types for addressing breast sagging.

Breast Lift Benefits

  • Breasts with increased projection
  • Enhanced cleavage
  • Rejuvenated nipple position for a more youthful look
  • Improved balance between breasts and buttocks
  • Firmer, lifted breasts
  • Confidence to go without a bra or wear revealing tops and bikinis
  • Boosted self-confidence and overall sense of well-being

Choosing Your Lift

A breast lift procedure removes excess skin, leading to a firmer and lifted breast shape. Although a breast lift does not change the size of the breasts, it can be combined with breast augmentation to restore lost volume or increase size. Your plastic surgeon at Athēnix will assess your needs to ensure the most aesthetically pleasing and balanced results.

Anchor lift

The anchor breast lift method includes incisions around the areola, extending vertically down the breast and horizontally along the breast crease to accomplish a thorough lift.

Crescent lift

The crescent breast lift employs a surgical approach with a crescent-shaped incision around the upper edge of the areola, concentrating on lifting and reshaping the breast for a more subtle elevation.

Circumareolar lift

The circumareolar lift technique involves an incision encircling the outer edge of the areola to reshape and raise the breasts, typically recommended for minor lifting and contouring.

Incorporating a Breast Lift into a Comprehensive Treatment Plan

At Athēnix, we offer the opportunity for a comprehensive transformation by combining a breast lift with other procedures. For instance, 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, lifted breasts, leading to a more dramatic transformation.

Your Recovery Process

Immediate Post-Op & Day Of 

After your breast lift surgery, healthcare providers will transport you to a recovery area for thorough observation. It is normal to encounter pain and discomfort, but you will be provided medication to alleviate these symptoms. Your breasts will be carefully wrapped with bandages and placed in a surgical bra to ensure crucial support.

Following Days

It is essential to prioritize rest and refrain from strenuous activities during the initial days following the surgery. Although some discomfort may persist, it should gradually lessen over time.

One Week

Approximately one week after your surgery, you will revisit Athēnix for a follow-up appointment. During this visit, your surgeon will remove the bandages, assess the healing process, and decide whether you need to continue wearing a surgical bra for additional support.

Two Weeks

Usually, you can resume work and participate in light activities after two weeks. Nevertheless, it is important to continue refraining from heavy lifting and strenuous exercise.

Six Weeks

At around six weeks, you can generally go back to regular activities, including exercise. At this point, the breasts will have undergone substantial 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. During this time, the scars will continue to fade, and the breasts will have adjusted to their new position.

Six Months

By the six-month post-surgery milestone, the breasts will have completed the healing process, and any remaining scars will continue to fade. This is the point at which you can anticipate witnessing the ultimate results of your breast lift surgery.

Uplifting Results

For various reasons such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or genetic predisposition, numerous women seek to regain the firm and uplifted breasts they once had. Although we cannot reverse time, a breast lift can significantly enhance your overall appearance and well-being. It improves the fit of clothing, enhances confidence, and elevates 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 risks?

Will breast lift surgery result in visible 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?

If you desire a more noticeable change than what a breast lift can provide independently, you might consider combining breast augmentation with a breast lift. This combination can assist in attaining fuller, firmer, and lifted breasts. However, if you are content with your existing breast volume and only seek to rejuvenate and elevate them to their previous position, a breast lift alone may be sufficient.

Can exercise improve the appearance of sagging breasts?

Adopting a healthy lifestyle is crucial for slowing down the effects of aging. Nevertheless, the effects of aging, gravity, and life events on the breasts frequently necessitate a breast lift procedure, with or without the incorporation of saline or silicone gel implants for breast augmentation.

What are the risks?

Before undergoing a breast lift procedure, it is essential to be mindful of the potential risks, which may encompass scarring, infection, anesthesia-related complications, alterations in nipple sensation, asymmetry, and delayed healing. It is advisable to have a comprehensive discussion with your surgeon beforehand to ensure a thorough understanding of what to anticipate.

Will breast lift surgery result in visible scars?

While breast lift surgery, like any surgical procedure, can lead to scarring, our proficient plastic surgeons employ advanced techniques to reduce scarring and make it as inconspicuous as possible. Over time, the scars typically become less noticeable and fade away.

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

Normally, breast lift surgery does not have an impact on breastfeeding. Nonetheless, it is advisable to communicate your intentions regarding breastfeeding with your surgeon during the consultation. This will help guarantee that the procedure has minimal influence on your ability to breastfeed in the future.

What is the minimum age requirement for a breast lift?

The appropriateness of a breast lift is determined by your overall health and aesthetic goals rather than age. During the consultation, the surgeon will assess your suitability for the procedure based on these factors. Therefore, there is no specific age limit for a breast lift.
