Breast Lift: What is it?

Understanding Breast Lift

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, raises and reshapes sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple, areola and breast higher on the chest. For women whose breasts have lost firmness and elasticity, it is an effective procedure that results in a lifted, more youthful contour.

At Aesthetic Surgical Images, we understand that having surgery is a big decision. That’s why we strive to create a relaxed atmosphere where our patients feel at ease. During your initial consultation, your physician will take the time to understand your goals and discuss realistic expectations. Patients who choose Aesthetic Surgical Images also take great comfort in knowing that all of our surgeons are highly-qualified, our facility is nationally accredited, and our M.D. anesthesiologists have superior training.

Breast Lift: Implants Instead of A Lift

Your Breast Lift procedure

Breast lift is a two-hour procedure that is performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Typically, it requires an anchor shaped incision pattern: one around the areola, a second from the areola to the crease under the breast, and the third along the breast crease. In cases where sagging is limited, breast lift may be performed without the third incision, an approach called a vertical mastopexy.

Through these incisions, your physician lifts and reshapes the underlying tissue and repositions the nipple and areola to a more youthful placement. In many cases, women enhance their breast lift surgery by adding breast implants. In Omaha, Nebraska, this is a commonly-used technique to add volume as well as improve position and shape. Still others add tummy tuck, with or without liposuction, to complete a full Mommy Makeover.

To learn more about breast lift, please read our Frequently Asked Questions. We think you’ll find it to be a valuable resource as you gather information.

Breast Lift: Recovery

Enjoying your results

Most patients return to daily activities, including driving, within three to five days after surgery. It’s important, however, not to lift your elbows above your shoulders or lift more than five pounds for three to four weeks, after which you should be back to full activity. Although it takes up to several months to see final results, you can start enjoying the look of your shapelier, uplifted breasts almost immediately.

All of my questions were answered with courtesy and understanding and I felt safe the entire time! I had suffered from sagging breasts at a very early age and it had affected so much in my life and now I finally feel comfortable in my own body. Couldn’t be more thankful and would recommend Dr. Edney & his team to anyone!!”

Breast Lift FAQs

What type of anesthesia is used?

General anesthesia will be administered by an anesthesiologist, a doctor who specializes in anesthesia

How is a breast lift performed?

Your surgeon will carefully examine you and take special measurements of your breasts to determine excess skin and the new location of the nipple. Often, the darker skin surrounding the nipple called the areola is larger than you would like. During a breast lift this area is made smaller. Once the measurements are made with you in an upright position you are taken to the operating room and the operation is performed. Once the extra skin is taken from the lower parts of the breast special stitches are placed to uplift and reshape the breast to a more youthful appearance. A breast lift normally takes 1 1/2 to 2 hours. It will take longer if you also requires breast implants, as many Des Moines and Omaha patients do.

What can I expect after surgery?

You will be placed in a surgical bra after surgery. A friend or loved one will take you home and must stay with you for the next 24 hours. You will wear the bra and your dressings until you are seen the next day in our office. At that time your surgeon, or the physician assistant, will give you instructions on how they would like you to care for your breasts. Specific instructions will be given to you before the operation regarding limitation of activity. In general, you will be expected not to lift your elbows above your shoulders for several days after surgery. Special instructions regarding hair washing will be given to you. You will be asked to refrain from heavy lifting for up to four weeks. Your doctor will give you more specific instructions depending on the type of activity you will be returning to. You will be given sufficient medication to control your discomfort postoperatively. You will also be given an antibiotic for a few days and possibly some medication to have on hand in the event that you experience nausea.

What can I expect during the initial recovery period?

You will have a number of follow-up visits the first few months following surgery. Your surgeon or physician’s assistant will provide guidance during your recovery including any restrictions. Much of the discomfort will be gone in the first 48 hours. Your breasts will remain slightly swollen and may have some bruising for up to ten days. The incisions will remain reddened for several weeks. Over the course of the next several months the redness will slowly diminish.

What can I expect long term?

Long term we expect significant fading of the redness and the incision areas. You may develop some sagging over time. The vast majority of women however enjoy the improved shape for many years and never require another lift.

Recovery after Breast Lift Surgery

Recovery following breast surgery is generally swift. The swelling and discomfort generally resolve within five to ten days. Most women can resume work approximately three to five days after a breast lift. Aerobic activities may need to be deferred for four weeks post-operatively. Most of the sutures will be absorbable but some may need to be taken out between two and three weeks after surgery. Within the first week or two, the surgeon will likely recommend wearing a soft bra for several weeks. Patients should refrain from wearing bras with underwire for three months. Swelling and discoloration around the incisions generally subside in a few days. Temporary changes in sensation of the nipples and skin is normal, and should improve with time. Since incisions are usually made around and below the nipple, scars should not be noticeable even in low-cut clothing.
