Why a breast lift (also known as a mastopexy)?

Sometimes, it can happen in life where certain events take a toll on our bodies, causing them to change and age faster than we would like. A breast lift can revive the appearance of your breasts, and return them to a perky, more attractive condition. With a breast lift you can obtain breasts that look more youthful, restore the natural contours of the breasts, or even bring back one’s cleavage. Dr. Andres provides Scottsdale & Phoenix breast lift procedures so that patients may have the chance to again feel beautiful and refreshed.

What is a breast lift procedure?

Dr. Andres has the precision and practice to deliver some of the best breast lifts Scottsdale has to show for. Typically, a breast lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure using IV sedation or general anesthesia. This is administered under the care of a board-certified anesthesiologist.

Based on his professional opinion, as well as the patient’s personal preference, Dr. Andres will elect to employ one of the following breast lift techniques:

  • Donut incision – This type of incision encircles the areola
  • Short scar incision – This incision is made around the areola and then runs straight down the center of the breast to the crease. This technique is also called a “lollipop incision”
  • Anchor incision – This is similar to a short scar incision, but has an additional, horizontal incision along the bottom crease of the breast

A Scottsdale & Phoenix breast lift surgery takes about 3 hours. However, if being combined with coordinating breast procedures, such as breast augmentation surgery, it can be longer. Depending on your needs, Dr. Andres may suggest that you pair your breast lift with breast augmentation or breast reduction, to achieve a more comprehensive result.

Is a mastopexy right for me?

There are several ways to address problems concerning breast volume, position and size. Most of the solutions to these problems will require a breast lift in addition to other procedures in order to achieve balance and aesthetic harmony to that part of the feminine silhouette.

Dr. Andres has treated countless women who want breast rejuvenation but don’t know how to achieve their goals. He is a firm believer in educating his patients on all of their options so that they can make a fully informed decision on the course of action that they want to take. In this way Dr. Andres’ Phoenix breast lift patients are not disappointed in the final result because they understand the differences between procedures and how each will affect their appearance.

What are the benefits of a breast lift?

  • Natural shape of breasts restored
  • The breasts and nipples are repositioned so that they fall higher on the chest and appear perkier
  • Revived natural cleavage
  • Stretched areolas restored to previous size

During recovery

Once you’re out of surgery, you will be able to return home. Your breasts will be carefully bandaged, so as to facilitate proper healing. You may experience some bruising and swelling for the first week or two. This is completely normal. Any pain or discomfort may be managed with medication, if you like. Generally, most patients are able to return to their daily activities, as well as work, in a week’s time. That being said, you should avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting for the first 4 to 5 weeks, after your surgery.
