The natural changes that occur with aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight fluctuations can sometimes alter the shape and position of the breasts. These changes often include sagging breasts or loss of youthful firmness. A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape the breasts, providing improved contour and balance.
At K Plastic Surgery in Latham, NY, Dr. Sanjiv Kayastha, a board-certified plastic surgeon, offers breast lift surgery with a patient-focused approach. This procedure is tailored to meet individual anatomical needs and aesthetic goals, making it a trusted option for those seeking a more uplifted, proportionate appearance.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift (mastopexy) is a surgical procedure that involves carefully removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and repositioning the breast tissue higher on the chest. The areola can also be reshaped or repositioned for a proportional look.
The goal of the procedure is not to change breast size significantly, but rather to restore a more lifted position and youthful profile. For those interested in increasing or reducing breast size, a breast lift can also be combined with breast augmentation or breast reduction surgery.
Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery
Many patients seek a breast lift to enhance overall confidence in their appearance, as well as to restore a more symmetrical or youthful look. Some of the potential benefits include:
- Improved breast shape and contour
- Lifted position of the breasts and nipples
- A firmer, more youthful profile
- Enhanced balance in body proportions
- Natural-looking, long-lasting outcomes
Who Might Consider a Breast Lift?
A breast lift may be considered by individuals experiencing:
- Sagging or drooping breasts caused by aging, pregnancy, or weight loss
- Asymmetry in breast shape or position
- Nipples and areolas that point downward or fall below the breast crease
- A desire for improved contour without changing overall breast volume significantly
Each breast lift procedure is personalized to the individual’s unique anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. During a consultation, Dr. Sanjiv Kayastha provides a detailed evaluation to determine the most effective surgical plan.
The Breast Lift Procedure
Breast lift surgery is typically performed under anesthesia in an accredited surgical setting. Incision techniques vary depending on the degree of correction needed, but common approaches include:
- Peri-areolar incision – around the areola for mild lifting
- Vertical incision – around the areola and down to the breast crease for moderate lifting
- Anchor incision – around the areola, vertically to the breast crease, and along the crease for more significant reshaping
After repositioning the breast tissue and removing excess skin, the nipple and areola are adjusted to achieve natural-looking results. Patients generally return home the same day, and recovery is closely guided with follow-up care.
Breast Lift Recovery
During the healing process, Dr. Kayastha may recommend a surgical support bra or surgical tape to stabilize breast tissue, reduce swelling, and protect incision sites. Pain medication and detailed instructions are typically provided to manage discomfort and lower the risk of increased bleeding or adverse reactions. With consistent follow-up care, most patients resume normal routines in about two weeks, enjoying a refreshed and more youthful breast contour.
