Breast Lift

Mastopexy or breast lift is a body contouring procedure that reshapes the breasts by trimming excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to produce a more youthful and healthier appearance. This body contouring surgery is reserved for women who have lost breast shape and volume and who have breast sagging due to aging and gravity, as well as weight loss or pregnancy. Medical breakthroughs in breast lift surgery have made this aesthetic surgery very effective and successful. Dr. Demaree offers this procedure at Premier Surgical Arts. By using the most advanced methods, our team can choose the proper technique based on the degree of laxity present in addition to the desired result.

Lift Benefits

Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure that aims to improve the appearance of sagging breasts. Some of the benefits of a breast lift include:

Lift Process

Breast lift surgery takes 2 – 4 hours and is performed while you are under general anesthesia. The method used generally falls within two categories (the anchor technique and the straight-line vertical technique) based on the size, location, and nature of the incision. Once the incision is made, any loose skin and excess fat and tissue are removed. The skin is then pulled tight, and your breasts are brought up and lifted for a healthy and younger appearance. If needed, the size and shape of the areola are reduced to be symmetric with the new breast. If part of your treatment plan, an implant may be inserted in the breast; however, breast implants can be done at a later date if you decide you want that at another time. The recovery for any type of breast lift is more extensive than breast augmentation surgery. After the procedure, you will wear a support bra to diminish swelling. A small tube will also be placed near the location of the incision to help with excess fluid leakage that can sometimes occur after a surgical procedure. The post-surgical swelling usually goes away within about a week. Dr. Demaree or a member of his team will provide specific, at-home incision care instructions to help your healing process. Results after a surgical breast lift begin to take shape after several months as your newly shaped breasts take their higher position on your chest wall. The breasts will appear natural, and you will feel healthy and beautiful.
