BREAST LIFT
Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
Who is a candidate for breast lift?
Age, hormones, significant weight loss and multiple pregnancies can all contribute to sagging breasts. Though your breasts may be of good size, they may droop (ptosis) and lack firmness or substance. Breasts may appear pendulous and nipples may point downward below the breast crease. A breast lift will reshape sagging breasts to a more naturally rounded shape and repositions the breast and nipple to a more youthful height and projection.How is it done?
A breast lift literally lifts sagging breasts without major removal of tissues but may or may not include placing implants. It could involve some removal of skin to allow the breast tissue to be repositioned. Incisions made to sculpt breast to a new position are similar to those experienced by breast reduction patients; Incisions may be around the areola, vertically from areola to the breast crease or horizontally at the breast crease. This is determined upon consultation. In some cases, a breast augmentation may be performed concurrently if desired.Breast lifts are outpatient surgery and typically done under general anesthesia.
Recuperation
You will experience mild discomfort for the first few days. There will be some swelling and bruising the first couple weeks and you will be wearing a support bra. Your internal stitches will dissolve. If external stitches are used, they will be removed in 7 to 10 days. Most patients are back to work within a week. Scars will fade by 6 to 12 months.Other Options

A breast lift is considered a purely aesthetic procedure and as such is not covered by insurance.Ask Dr. Potparic
My breasts only droop a little bit. Can lifting weights lift my breasts?
Exercise, diet and creams will not change the lift in your breasts. A breast cannot contract to its original size without surgical intervention.What if my nipples are not at the same level?
Perfect symmetry in any surgery is not always attainable. Mother Nature does not even provide symmetry. However, both the nipples and the breasts should be close to mirror images of each other. Select your surgeon carefully and ask to see pictures of his work to insure you are in the most skilled hands.Do you recommend implants with breast lifts?
Breast size is very subjective. If a patient is satisfied with their breast size and just wants more “perky” breasts, a lift is all that is necessary. If enough volume has been lost, an implant can create a more proportioned result.How do you determine incision location?
Incision location is determined during consultation. It depends upon breast size, shape, degree of ptosis and elasticity of your skin. You cannot have a breast lift without incisions, but there are techniques we can discuss to minimize scarring.
