WHY A BREAST LIFT?

Benefits of a Breast Lift

A breast lift raises the breasts, and is often used to improve the appearance of sagging breasts or to adjust the direction of nipples that point downward. For many, a breast lift is a way to regain a youthful silhouette after raising children.

Options for a Breast Lift Surgery

from our Columbus Plastic Surgeon

 

A breast lift won't change the size of your breasts, but will restore their youthful look. This procedure is often done in combination with a breast augmentation or reduction to increase or decrease size or adjust to a more natural shape. There are several ways to perform this procedure (as shown above), and Dr. Okada will discuss these with you prior to booking your surgery.

 

 Preparing for Treatment

BREAST LIFT (MASTOPEXY) CONCERNS & EXPECTATIONS

  • Initial Assessment

    Dr. Okada will consult with you in our offices to determine the most appropriate incision based on your body and your desires. She will discuss preparations for the procedure and might take medical photographs.

  • During Treatment

    In most instances, a breast lift is an outpatient procedure. You’ll be given either local or general anesthesia, and the procedure will generally take two to three hours. Dr. Okada will lift the nipple-areola complex to a more aesthetically pleasing and higher position while tailoring any excess skin and tissue.

  • Recovery Timeline

    Swelling, bruising, and soreness will typically follow a breast lift surgery. Full recovery will take several weeks, though you should be able to return to most activities within 2-3 weeks. You’ll likely need to wear a compression garment while you’re healing, to reduce movement and improve comfort. You may experience some numbness, which should resolve within six weeks.

Your Questions, Answered.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BREAST LIFTS (MASTOPEXY)

 
 

Will a breast lift hurt? 

Mammoplasty is surgery, and there will likely be moderate pain along and beneath the incision line. Pain should become easily manageable within a couple days, however, and then you will just need to move carefully until you are fully healed.

What are the possible risks of breast lift surgery?

As with any surgery, complications and risks are possible. Some of these can include: 

  • Breast pain

  • Poor wound healing or infection

  • Unexpected scarring

  • Tissue damage or tissue death - this risk is increased if you smoke

  • Changes in skin sensation

How can I prepare for breast lift surgery? 

There are several things you can do to help your surgical outcome be the best it can be. If you smoke, stop now. Smoking has several effects on blood flow and can delay the healing process after any surgery. Maintain a stable weight for at least 12 months before surgery, and arrange ahead of time to have help post-surgery to prevent the risk of opening your surgical incisions.
