What is Breast Lift Procedure?
Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that is designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts. The procedure can improve the appearance of breasts that have lost their firmness and elasticity due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics.
During the procedure, the surgeon removes excess skin and tissue from the breasts and repositions the nipple and areola to a higher position. The remaining breast tissue is reshaped to create a more youthful and lifted appearance. In some cases, breast implants may also be inserted to enhance the size and fullness of the breasts.
Procedure
The length of a breast lift procedure, also known as mastopexy, can vary depending on the extent of the surgery and whether additional procedures, such as breast augmentation or reduction, are performed at the same time. On average, a breast lift procedure takes about 2 to 3 hours to complete.
Recovery
Generally, patients can expect to take 1-2 weeks off work and avoid strenuous activity for at least 4-6 weeks after the procedure. During the first few days after surgery, patients may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the breast area.
Anesthesia
Breast lift procedures, also known as mastopexy, are typically performed using general anesthesia. General anesthesia is a type of anesthesia that puts the patient into a state of unconsciousness, allowing them to remain completely unaware and unable to feel any pain during the surgery.

Who Qualifies for Breast Lift Procedure?
Breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure that can be beneficial for women who are dissatisfied with the shape, position, or general appearance of their breasts. This procedure is typically recommended for women who have sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics.Furthermore, patients should be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking for a period of time before and after the surgery. However, if you’re planning on having children, are currently nursing, or intend to lose 20 pounds or more in weight, these factors may offset the results of a Breast Lift procedure.
