Breast Lift (mastopexy)

The skin of the breasts can become loose after weight loss, pregnancy or simply the passage of time due to gravity. This unattractive saggy appearance can be corrected by a skin tightening operation called mastopexy. This type of surgery is generally not covered by insurance, so it is performed in our office surgical facility to lower cost. The operation lasts 3 hours under heavy sedation. The breasts are elevated and reshaped through incisions around the areola and the fold. It may be done in conjunction with breast augmentation if the volume of the breast needs to be enlarged. The scars are noticeable at first but fade significantly over time. For smaller lifts, a periareolar approach can be taken, which involves tightening the breast skin through an areolar incision only.
