Introduction

Introduction to Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, can restore the contour of the breasts to a more youthful-looking, vivacious state. A breast lift effectively lifts and tightens breast tissue. Likely candidates who have sagging breasts due to past pregnancies, genetics, weight loss, or aging should consider the breast lift procedure at A New You Plastic Surgery and Medical Spa with Dr. Samir Shah, a board-certified plastic surgeon serving Orland Park, IL. Mastopexy can also reduce sagging if it is too substantial to be treated with an implant alone or if the nipple-areolar complexes (pigmentated area around the nipple) are enlarged.

What is a Breast Lift?

Breast lift surgery helps patients achieve a more attractive, feminine shape and contour, and better-proportioned areolas. Often, breast augmentation surgery is performed in combination with mastopexy, using a specialized endoscopic technique for implant placement. Whether your breasts have changed due to aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy, mastopexy in Orland Park can restore a more youthful chest profile, allowing you to enjoy a broader range of clothing options and boosting your overall confidence.

What’s the First Step?

To get started along the path to a more sculpted, feminine figure, you will sit down with Dr. Shah for a private consultation in Orland Park. This first session will entail an open discussion regarding your cosmetic goals, a transparent response to your questions, and a thorough physical examination and medical review. Dr. Shah will ask you about your current medication schedule and lifestyle and will go over the risks, benefits, costs, recovery time, and projected results associated with a breast lift. Your surgery date will then be scheduled, and you will receive instructions outlining best practices for preparing for surgery.

Breast Lift Recovery

Since breast lift surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, patients go home in a bra with only light dressings over the incision lines. The bra is worn as a “dressing” for two to three weeks, and sutures are dissolvable. Initial discomfort or pain is controlled with oral medications. Light activities may be resumed in seven to ten days; however, you should avoid mild or strenuous exercise for several weeks and should be extremely gentle with your breasts for at least six weeks following surgery.*
