What Is A Breast Lift?
Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a body contouring treatment that revitalizes the appearance of sagging breasts by trimming away excess skin and pulling the remaining tissue tight for a healthier, more youthful look. This life-changing surgery is performed at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery for women who have lost breast shape and volume and who have breast sagging due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. During your consultation, our team can explain the process of your surgery and decide on the technique that's best for you based on the level of sagging. Schedule your appointment at our plastic surgery office in Chicago, IL to find out how breast lift surgery can transform your look and your confidence.
How Is Breast Lift Surgery Performed?
Breast lift procedures usually take 1 – 3 hours and are often performed using local anesthesia. The length of time your surgery takes will depend on the level of sagging we're addressing. The method used for cosmetic breast lift surgery typically falls within two categories, and the technique is defined by the type of the incision. The inverted-T (known as an anchor) and the vertical incisions are the most used types. Once the incision is made, any excess skin is removed along with breast tissue and fat that is not desired. The skin left behind is then pulled tight and the breasts are positioned higher and lifted so they appear healthy. In most situations, the size of the areola is decreased to be symmetric with the new breast. We can also use this opportunity to insert implants if you are undergoing a combined breast augmentation and lift. After finishing the procedure, we'll wrap your chest tightly in bandages to support your breasts as they heal.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery?
Age, motherhood, and gravity can take a toll on your figure, causing those once-perky breasts to look droopy and flattened. Breast lift surgery at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery can have dramatic effects on your appearance and confidence with benefits that include:
- Removes surplus skin for a tighter look and feel
- Elevates the breasts from a sagging position
- Repositions and resizes the nipple for a more natural look
- Can be combined with breast augmentation for more complete chest enhancement
- Corrects the appearance of imbalanced or deflated breasts
