Before & After

Your Breast Lift

Breast lift surgery procedures are performed to reshape and reposition sagging breasts. Cosmetic surgeons may also refer to this procedure as mastopexy, and it can be performed in conjunction with a breast augmentation.

Breasts can lose their youthful position for a variety of reasons: genetics, aging, or fluctuations in body weight are some of the most common causes.

Is a Breast Lift Right for Me?

During a consultation, Dr. Rosen can determine if you are a good candidate for breast lift surgery. Established methods are used to measure the degree of breast droop. Here is a basic guideline:

Mild breast droop is characterized by a nipple that is level with the breast crease.
Moderate breast droop would be characterized by a nipple that is below the breast crease.
Severe breast droop is identified by a nipple that is the lowest point of the breast and positioned down.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?

If your breasts no longer exhibit a youthful position or if they have lost firmness, you are probably a good candidate for a breast lift in Bucks County at Rosen Cosmetics. However, if you are planning a future pregnancy, Dr. Rosen may advise you to postpone the breast lift procedure until after childbirth. Good candidates have ceased smoking at least six weeks before surgery and have realistic expectations.

How Breast Lift Surgery Works

This procedure will require one to three hours of operating time. The technique used will vary depending on your degree of breast droop. With mild breast sagging, one incision can be placed around the pigmented area of the areola, where a circular section of skin is removed and the breast is reshaped.

In cases of moderate or severe sagging, three incisions are typically used: one travels around part of the areola, another travels down toward the breast crease, and a third is placed horizontally in the crease. Skin and glandular tissue is removed and the nipple is repositioned to give the breasts a more appealing shape and position.

Your Breast Lift Recovery

Expect about one to two weeks of recovery time after your breast lift with Dr. Rosen. You will need to wear a special bra for about four weeks, and your activity will be limited for about six.

During the first week, the incisions and dissolvable sutures will be covered with gauze and tape. You may experience some swelling, bruising, discomfort and changes in nipple sensation.

The breast lift scars will initially be raised, but during the following year they will fade and flatten out significantly. We’ll set up follow-up appointments to ensure that you’re healing properly.

Breast Lift FAQs:

Can a breast lift change the size of my breasts?

While a breast lift primarily addresses sagging, it does not significantly change the size of the breasts. However, it can be combined with breast augmentation or reduction if size adjustments are desired.

Will a breast lift surgery leave scars?

Yes, breast lift surgery involves incisions, and scarring is inevitable. However, skilled surgeons aim to minimize scarring by placing incisions strategically. Scars tend to fade over time and can be concealed with clothing.

How long do the results of a breast lift last?

The results of a breast lift are long-lasting, but factors such as aging, gravity, and lifestyle can affect the breasts over time. Maintaining a stable weight and practicing good breast care can help prolong the results.

Can I breastfeed after a breast lift?

Breast lift surgery may impact breastfeeding, as it involves repositioning the nipple-areola complex. While some women can breastfeed after a breast lift, it's important to discuss this concern with the surgeon during the consultation.

Can I combine a breast lift with other procedures?

Yes, a breast lift can be combined with other procedures like breast augmentation or reduction to achieve a more comprehensive enhancement. The combination of procedures is often referred to as a mommy makeover.

Is breast lift surgery covered by insurance?

In most cases, breast lift surgery is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. However, if the surgery addresses medical issues such as chronic breast pain, insurance coverage may be possible.
