What Is the Breast Lift Procedure?

Breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that is designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts.

The procedure can improve the appearance of breasts that have lost their firmness and elasticity due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics, enabling you to feel more alluring and confident.

During the procedure, your surgeon will remove excess skin and tissue from your breasts and reposition the nipple and areola to a higher position.

The remaining breast tissue will then be reshaped to create a more youthful and lifted appearance. In some cases, breast implants may also be inserted to enhance the size and fullness of the breasts.

Dr. Leif Rogers has extensive experience with a wide range of breast procedures and maintains the stance that there’s no set of goals too challenging for him to meet. No matter what your cosmetic aspirations may be, Dr. Rogers is confident that he’ll be able to help you achieve them. If you’re interested in a breast lift in Pasadena, Beverly Hills, or anywhere else in the world, reach out to Dr. Rogers’ office and set up your initial consultation today.

Is Mastopexy Surgery Right for Me?

Breast lift or mastopexy is a surgical procedure that can be beneficial for women who are dissatisfied with the shape, position, or general appearance of their breasts. This procedure is typically recommended for women who have sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or genetics.

Furthermore, patients should be non-smokers or willing to quit smoking for a period of time before and after the surgery. However, if you’re planning on having children, are currently nursing, or intend to lose 20 pounds or more in weight, these factors may offset the results of a Breast Lift procedure.

Breast Lift FAQ's

How does pregnancy affect the results of a breast lift?

How can I know if a breast lift or a combined lift and augmentation is right for me?

How does a breast lift impact the sensation in the nipples and breasts?

Can a breast lift correct asymmetry?

How does pregnancy affect the results of a breast lift?

Pregnancy can stretch the skin and tissues of the breasts, potentially impacting the results of a breast lift. Many surgeons recommend waiting until after you have completed your family before undergoing the procedure to maintain long-term results.

How can I know if a breast lift or a combined lift and augmentation is right for me?

If you’re happy with your breast volume but want them lifted, a breast lift alone may be ideal. For added fullness, especially in the upper breast, a combined lift and augmentation may be better.

How does a breast lift impact the sensation in the nipples and breasts?

Sensation changes may occur after a breast lift, with some patients noticing temporary or permanent differences in nipple and breast sensitivity. These changes are usually due to the repositioning of breast tissue and the surgical incisions, and they vary from person to person.

Can a breast lift correct asymmetry?

Yes, a breast lift can help correct asymmetry by reshaping and repositioning the breasts to achieve a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. In some cases, additional procedures such as augmentation or reduction may be needed to achieve optimal results.
