Breast Lift Procedure

Dr. Ahmad performs breast lift, known as mastopexy, to raise and reshape sagging breasts. The length of the incision required depends on the degree of drooping, with many of our patients choosing a short scar encircling the areola only. Breast lift patients with more significant drooping of the breasts may require the “lollipop” or “full lift” incision techniques. Special scar treatments after surgery minimize their appearance. In many cases patients opt for placement of an implant at the same time as the lift so as to minimize the length of the scar required for the uplift and to restore more fullness to the upper breast.

Benefits of a Breast Lift

Many women who are not happy with the shape of their breasts or that feel that their breasts have lost their youthful appearance can benefit from a breast lift. The procedure addresses various issues with sagging breasts that may have affected a woman’s breast over time.

Firmer Breast

Women who get a breast lift will find that they are able to enjoy tight, firm breasts, even without the use of a full-support bra. The breast lift will eliminate unnecessary skin and extra tissue, resulting in breasts that no longer look or feel saggy and droopy

Youthful Breast Shape

A breast lift results in a perkier appearance, undoing some of the effects of time and age. As a result, women who come in to have a breast lift often find that they feel younger and more confident. A breast lift can change how the patient looks, but more importantly, it may change how she feels

Higher Nipple Projection

One of the benefits of a breast lift is that it often involves movement of the breast and areola, relocating them higher on the nipple mound. This is another important way for Dr. Sanders and his team to help patients eliminate sagging and achieve tighter, younger-looking breasts

Reduced Irritation Under the Breast

When breasts are low-sitting or saggy, it may produce some irritation of the skin underneath. A breast lift can eliminate this problem by raising the breasts and reducing the occurrence of excess skin rubbing together. For women who struggle with irritated skin on the underside of their breasts, a breast lift may provide lasting relief.
