Breast Lift - Mastopexy
Mastopexy is the reshaping of the breast, tightening of the skin, elevation
of the nipple, and occasionally, enlarging the volume. Patients with flattening
of the breast after child birth frequently require enlarging of the breast
with a saline (salt water) implant.
Scars with this procedure vary with the severity if the nipple drop. Minimal
drooping may be corrected by placing the scar around the outside edge of the
areola; however, more severe drooping requires a vertical scar beneath the
areola (no larger than two inches) and possibly a horizontal scar in the breast
crease.
This operation is frequently performed in our operating suite under general
anesthesia. Patients can return to work in 7 days without heavy lifting and
with the use of a support bra. No vigorous exercise should be done for two
weeks (minimum) after surgery.

| This
40 year old wanted fuller and rounder breasts. After having two children
she became flatter in the upper breasts and appeared to have more drop to the breasts due to breast feeding. She required both augmentation and mastopexy to achieve the results she desired. Using a 270cc McGhan round saline implant and mastopexy procedure, Dr. Siegel achieved a full 36 C result. |
