Understanding Mastopexy: Breast Lift Surgery

Breast lift surgery, medically known as mastopexy, is a specialized procedure designed to counter the natural effects of aging, gravity, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. As breast tissue loses volume and skin elasticity diminishes, Dr. Andrew Cohen can help improve breast firmness and shape through a customized surgical approach.

Primary Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

• Reposition breasts to eliminate sagging
• Elevate nipple position
• Reduce areola size
• Rejuvenate post-pregnancy breast appearance
• Achieve a more youthful, "perky" breast contour

Ideal Candidates for Breast Lift

Women considering breast lift surgery should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations. Dr. Cohen recommends waiting until after completing childbearing, as pregnancy can compromise surgical results. Patients seeking to restore volume might consider combining breast lift with augmentation.

Surgical Procedure Details

• Surgery Duration: 2-3 hours
• Anesthesia: General
• Procedure Type: Outpatient
• Incision Techniques: Periareolar, lollipop, or anchor-shaped

Recovery and Results

Patients typically return to work within one week and can resume strenuous activities after four weeks. Results are long-lasting but not permanent, as natural aging and gravity continue to impact breast appearance.

Combining Procedures

Some patients opt to combine breast lift with augmentation to restore volume and enhance overall breast appearance. Dr. Cohen will recommend the most suitable approach during your consultation.

Recovery Tips

• Wear surgical compression garments as directed
• Rest adequately
• Stay hydrated
• Avoid strenuous activities
• Follow post-operative instructions carefully
