Breast Lift
(Mastopexy)
Pregnancy, weight loss, and age-related depletion of skin elasticity can cause the breasts to droop and lose their youthful firmness, shape, and volume. Using the most advanced breast lift techniques, Dr. Sessa can raise the bust line and resculpt the breasts to restore their natural look and shape. Dr. Sessa uses the vertical mastoplexy technique, which provides superior results and the smaller “lollipop” incision. For women who desire enhanced breast volume, as well as a lifted bust line, the doctor can augment the lift with breast implants (augmentation mastopexy) to increase size and create a firmer shape.
The Breast Lift
Procedure
During the pre-operative breast lift consultation, Dr. Sessa selects a breast lift technique that will produce the best results with the least amount of scarring. To begin the procedure, the doctor will remove excess, stretched skin to help reshape the breast into a tighter, more condensed form. At this point, he can also perform breast augmentation if desired by placing breast implants beneath the pectoral muscle, which prevents further sagging of the breast skin after surgery. Once he is satisfied that the breasts look balanced and natural, he then completes the breast lift by suturing the incisions closed.
Results of Breast Lift
Women who undergo breast lift notice dramatic improvement in the shape and position of their breasts. After surgery, the breasts appear more youthful and proportionate, revitalizing the figure.
