Breast Lift (Mastopexy) in St Simons Island, GA

Understanding Breast Lift Surgery

Gravity and aging impact breast appearance over time. Factors like pregnancy, weight changes, and natural aging can cause breast sagging. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and firm breasts by removing excess skin and reshaping surrounding tissue.

Key Benefits of a Breast Lift

Improving breast symmetry
Reducing enlarged areolas
Restoring a youthful, sculpted breast shape
Enhancing self-confidence and clothing fit

Assessing Breast Ptosis

Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery evaluates breast sagging through comprehensive examination. The degrees of ptosis range from mild to significant, which helps determine the most appropriate surgical approach.

Ptosis Classification

Level 1: Mild sagging with areolas at breast crease
Level 2: Moderate sagging with areolas below breast crease
Level 3: Significant sagging with minimal breast tissue visible
Pseudoptosis: Areolas above breast crease with tissue hanging below

Breast Lift Incision Techniques

Dr. Bowen employs three primary incision methods, selected based on individual breast characteristics and desired outcomes:

Incision Types

Inverted T (Anchor) Mastopexy: Most comprehensive approach for moderate to severe ptosis
Vertical (Lollipop) Mastopexy: Ideal for mild to moderate breast lifting
Concentric (Doughnut) Mastopexy: Minimal lifting with circular areola incision

Recovery and Expectations

Breast lift surgery typically requires 2-3 hours under general anesthesia. Most patients return to work within one week, with full recovery taking 6-8 weeks. Dr. Bowen provides personalized post-surgical instructions to ensure optimal healing.
