Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Gravity, pregnancy, breast feeding, weight gain and weight loss ñ all take their toll on the breasts. As the skin loses its elasticity, the breasts often lose their shape and firmness and begin to sag.

A breast lift is the solution. A breast lift can reshape, rejuvenate, firm up, lift up and shape up sagging, shrinking breasts. It can also reduce the size of an enlarged, stretched areola (the dark skin around the nipple). In addition, if your breasts are small or have lost volume, breast implants inserted in conjunction with mastopexy can increase both their firmness and their size.

For a breast lift, Dr. Lincenberg makes incisions following the natural contour across the breast and around the areola. Next, he removes excess skin from the lower part of the breast. The nipple, areola and underlying breast tissue are lifted up to a new higher position and the skin that used to be above the nipple is now brought down, around and together to reshape and lift the breast.

The procedure takes about 2 hours. Breast lift can be performed in the surgical suite at Georgia Plastic Surgery or in the hospital outpatient department. You should expect to be out of work 3-7 days.
