What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This surgery is ideal for women experiencing breast ptosis (sagging) due to factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics. A breast lift can restore the position and firmness of your breasts, giving them a more youthful and uplifted appearance. While the procedure does not significantly change the size of your breasts, it can be combined with a breast augmentation or breast reduction for enhanced results.

What Does the Breast Lift Procedure Entail?

Dr. Amaka utilizes advanced techniques to deliver exceptional breast lift results. The procedure typically involves making incisions around the areola, vertically down to the breast crease, and sometimes along the breast fold. These incisions allow Dr. Amaka to remove excess skin, reshape the breast tissue, and elevate the nipple to a more youthful position. For smaller lifts, a more conservative approach involving a circular or semicircular incision around the areola may be sufficient. The type of incision used will ultimately depend on the degree of correction needed and your unique anatomy.

During your consultation, Dr. Amaka will discuss your goals and recommend the most appropriate approach to achieve your desired outcome. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and generally takes between 2-3 hours. Most patients are able to return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, although strenuous activities should be avoided for about 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
