View GalleryWhat Is a Breast Lift?
Over time, breasts tend to droop due to the forces of gravity and the natural aging process. The medical term for this gradual sagging is ptosis. Many factors contribute to the problem, including genetics, lifestyle, weight fluctuations, skin elasticity, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. Some women have sagging breasts as teenagers, not due to aging or life changes, and would like to correct a shape that they have never been happy with.
A breast lift, also called a mastopexy, is a surgical cosmetic procedure that addresses breast ptosis by removing excess skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and repositioning the breasts higher on the chest wall. Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift can correct this problem as well. The result is a better proportioned, more youthful-looking breast contour.
Dr. Bresnick uses different surgical techniques to covert various breast shape problems. Issues to consider include your breast size and shape, the size and position of your areolas, the degree of breast sagging, and the elasticity of the skin on your breasts. Dr. Bresnick will evaluate your breasts and advise you of what technique will offer the best results in breast lifting.
For many patients, a full lift may be the best choice, as it enables dramatic shape improvements. This technique involves lifting, recontouring, and reshaping the breast. Dr. Bresnick can lift the nipples six inches or more if necessary. The procedure requires several incisions, including one around the areola, a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the breast fold, and an incision in the breast crease.
Another technique, used to correct mild sagging, is the peri-areolar or “doughnut” lift, which requires only making an incision around the areola. A crescent lift might be an alternative solution if the problem is a downward-pointing areola and breast shape is not a concern.
