    What is a Breast Lift?

    Lifting breasts and restoring youthful fullness is a common procedure because of changes that occur with aging and after pregnancy.

    Breast shape is complex, but the breast skin surface area to breast gland volume relationship greatly influence breast appearance. If pregnancy, nursing, weight loss, and/or aging have deflated, loosened, or lowered your breasts to a sagging position, mastopexy (breast lift) elevates them higher on the chest and fills them to a naturally round shape. Implants can be added to increase size and fullness. Areola size and nipple size can be adjusted if desired. Inverted nipples may be everted.

    Breast Lift (mastopexy: masto=breast, pexy=lift, stabilize) surgery lifts sagging breasts to a more youthful position, higher on your chest. The procedure rounds and re-shapes your breast for more fullness and projection. Some women believe they naturally have “floppy” or “sagging” breasts, but most experience this change after nursing children and/or losing weight. If you want breasts that look like they do in your bra, but you don’t want to have to wear a bra, then breast lift may be for you. Breast lift is a well established common procedure, is safe, and offers consistently good results. If your breasts have settled down over the bottom of your ribs and are widening your waist, they may be creating a heavy appearance. Breast lift may be particularly beneficial not only for position of your breasts, but also by restoring your feminine “hourglass” shape.

    Breast Lift Procedure at Feel Beautiful San Diego

    Depending on the degree of sagging and your preferences, several approaches to restore beautiful and youthful breasts are possible. Generally, restoring a high volume to surface ratio will improve breast shape, and lift the breasts. This can be done by increasing breast volume, by decreasing breast skin surface area, or by both increasing volume AND decreasing surface area.

    Preventing breast augmentation complications

    How long is recovery from a breast lift?

    Recovery time for each breast lift patient depends on the  procedure performed and the woman’s individual healing process.  Every breast lift recovery experience is unique, but there are a few post-surgery  instructions that Dr. Laverson provides after  breast lift and/or breast augmentation to optimize the results and promote rapid healing. Most important is post surgical lower breast Hypafix or similar tape application and continuous breast support from below.  One to two weeks off of work and avoidance of high impact exercise and strenuous activity until cleared by Dr. Laverson, usually several weeks. Most women return to normal activities by six weeks.

    Breast lift risks and complications

    Avoid breast lift immediately after nursing until breast size and shape are stable.  Complications after breast lift are rare.  When issues arise, they are usually aesthetic, such as a visible or disappointing scar, areola size or shape asymmetries, a puffy areola related to purse-string suture, skin rippling around the areola, difference between right and left breasts, disappointment in the amount of breast settling one year or longer after breast lift.  These are all aesthetic issues that Dr. Laverson improves when they arise, usually by a brief office procedure one year following breast lift.  Adverse reactions to anesthesia, problems with bleeding, infection, and/or problems with healing are rarely encountered.   

    At Feel Beautiful Plastic Surgery in Rancho Santa Fe, you are in the hands of an excellent and experienced surgeon with an honest approach. During your consultation, Dr. Laverson will go over your medical history, discuss your lifestyle, and work with you to minimize risks and to optimize your health prior to breast-lift (mastopexy) surgery. If there is a possibility that your current health condition could interfere with your healing process, Dr. Laverson will recommend that you postpone your best breast lift San Diego until your health is more stable.
