Breast Lift (Mastopexy) in St Simons Island, GA

Understanding Breast Lift Procedures

Gravity and aging can significantly impact breast appearance. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and reshaping surrounding tissue. This transformative procedure addresses sagging caused by factors such as aging, weight changes, and pregnancy.

Key Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery

  • Improving breast symmetry
  • Reducing enlarged areolas
  • Restoring a firm, youthful breast contour
  • Enhancing self-confidence and clothing fit

Breast Ptosis Evaluation

During a consultation at Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Bowen carefully evaluates breast fullness, skin laxity, and the degree of ptosis (sagging). This comprehensive assessment helps determine the most appropriate breast lifting technique.

Degrees of Breast Ptosis

  • Level 1: Mild sagging - Areolas level with breast crease
  • Level 2: Moderate sagging - Areolas below breast crease
  • Level 3: Significant sagging - Minimal breast tissue visible
  • Pseudoptosis: Areolas above crease, breast tissue hanging below

Breast Lift Incision Techniques

Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery offers three primary incision approaches, selected based on individual patient needs:

Incision Types

  • Inverted T (Anchor) Mastopexy: Most comprehensive correction for moderate to severe ptosis
  • Vertical (Lollipop) Mastopexy: Ideal for mild to moderate breast sagging
  • Concentric (Doughnut) Mastopexy: Minimal lifting requirements

Surgical Expectations

Breast lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, with procedures lasting 2-3 hours. Most patients return to work within one week, though strenuous activities are restricted for 6-8 weeks. Dr. Bowen provides personalized post-surgical instructions to ensure optimal recovery.

Recovery and Results

Results longevity depends on individual factors. Maintaining a stable weight, avoiding smoking, and following a healthy lifestyle can help preserve surgical outcomes for several years.

If you want someone to give you 10k for a surgery, dont ridicule them for their choices.

At age 60 I finally decided to have breast reduction surgery. I had all the typical reasons for doing so and had been thinking about it for a long time. The idea of no longer having lower back pain, being able to wear well fitted shirts, and not having to suffer underwire bras outweighed the apprehension I had about the surgery. I sought out Dr. Bowen who came with many excellent recommendations and we met for a consultation. During that meeting she thoroughly discussed my expectations, and talked me through the entire process, start to finish. Once we agreed that all of my questions were answered we scheduled the surgery. The process was simple from start to finish, and I never questioned anything because they had been so thorough. The entire team at GICPS was knowledgeable, professional, and very kind. I am delighted by the results and wish I had had the surgery years ago. Excellent experience, and I highly recommend Golden Isles Center for Plastic Surgery.

I asked for a D cup and she gave me a C cup10k down the drain I am not satisfied and not to mention her nurse told me that dr Bowen is conservative and that’s why she did not go as big as I asked! I’m beyond disappointed words can’t explain

When I decided I wanted to improve my loose chin area, I had previously spoken to one of Dr Bowen's patients who was extremely pleased with her experience. I am very pleased with the SkinTite procedure I had done; I had absolutely zero pain during nor after the procedure. From our detailed conversations prior to the procedure, the lasting results may take up to a year before final results are experienced.......and I am seeing transformation every day. To say I am pleased with Dr. Bowen's surgical skills would be an understatement - she was very thorough in explaining everything to me; we discussed expectations such that my understanding of results and the procedure to be done were the same; during the procedure she explained what she was doing and, following the procedure, the next steps I should take for a excellent recovery. I can't say enough wonderful things about her staff --- they were exceptionally courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Bowen for any type procedure. She is extremely professional; a very skilled and knowledgeable surgeon and ensures that your expectation and the procedure she does are in sync prior to any surgery being done.

I wanted to add structure to my face through the y-lift procedure. I have been researching the procedures for years. I was looking for more projection in the areas of my cheeks and jaw and a subtle lift. Dr. Bowen somehow achieved those results successfully without such drastic changes that I became unrecognizable. I walked out of her office after my procedure feeling that I no longer needed to worry about those areas that have bothered me for decades which is life changing for me. The staff at Golden Isles is organized and discreet. They are also genuinely kind people who made my entire experience pleasant from start to finish. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the y-lift procedure or Dr.Bowen to anyone!
