As women grow older, the effects of pregnancy, nursing and sheer gravity take their toll. A breast lift, or mastopexy, can raise and reshape a sagging breast providing a higher, more youthful appearance.

There are actually a variety of techniques for breast lifting. But a lift is not augmentation. Keep in mind 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.

HOW IT WORKS

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 so as to improve appearance. Dr. Carney utilizes the vertical technique with a minimum incision, reducing or removing the need for an incision under the breast.

AFTER TREATMENT

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