Introduction

Introduction to Breast Lift

As women grow older, the effects of pregnancy, nursing, and sheer gravity take their toll on their breasts, pulling them down and leading to “sagging breasts”. A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, can raise and reshape sagging breasts, providing a higher, more youthful appearance. There are a variety of techniques for breast lifting. Keep in mind that a lift is not an augmentation in that this procedure lifts breasts to a higher position but will not increase fullness. To increase fullness, a combination of a lift and breast augmentation with implants should be considered. If you are interested in receiving a breast lift in the Newport News and Virginia Beach areas, please contact The Carney Center for more information. Read the information below.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, medically known as a mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that removes extra skin from loose and sagging breasts to lift them to a higher and more perky, youthful appearance. During this procedure, the patient’s areolas might also be moved to a different position with the new breast shape. A breast lift is primarily focused on changing the shape of the breasts, not their size. Patients will combine a breast lift with a reduction or an enlargement to attain combined aesthetic goals of not just changing the shape of the breasts but also their size.

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Lift Surgery

On the day of your breast lift in Virginia Beach at The Carney Center, Dr. Chopra and his staff will welcome you to the facility, get you settled in the surgical suite, and review your surgical plan. Once you are fully comfortable to proceed, a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) will administer anesthesia to ensure you are pain-free for the entirety of the procedure.

Once you are sedated, Dr. Carney will begin by making incisions. Dr. Carney utilizes the vertical technique with a minimum incision, reducing or removing the need for an incision under the breast. This procedure removes fat, tissue, and skin from the breasts, placing them in a higher position on the chest wall. The nipple and areola are moved to a higher position to improve appearance.

Once Dr. Carney is satisfied with the final shape of your breasts, he will seal the incisions and bandage your chest, applying a compression garment.

Without complications, a breast lift takes between 2 and 3 hours to complete.

Breast Lift Recovery

Keep activity levels to a minimum on the day following surgery. Normal exercise levels can resume as early as one week later and gradually increase over the next six weeks. You may expect to return to work approximately two days after surgery.
