Breast Lift

Many natural conditions can cause the breasts to droop. For instance:

• Pregnancy and breast feeding
• Extreme weight fluctuations
• Natural aging

These conditions can result in loss of volume and support of the breasts’ internal structure and stretching of the skin beyond its ability to rebound.

Mastopexy, or Breast Lift, is the surgical procedure of lifting sagging breasts to create a more attractive, youthful appearance of the breast. This procedure can be done as a single procedure or in combination with breast implants.

Dr. Fealy uses one of three types of incisions for a breast lift, depending upon the amount of skin to be removed and the distance the nipple will be moved upward. The incisions do leave some scars. However, every effort is made to minimize the visible scars. Dr. Fealy will discuss with you the types and the locations of incisions and the size of any resulting scars.

Scars fade in six to nine months and are not a concern for most patients. Patients are happy with the new shape, higher position and “perkiness” of their breasts after surgery.
