Whether your breasts have changed slowly over time or more dramatically after pregnancy, a breast lift can restore the shape and position of your breasts. A breast lift, or mastopexy, elevates and reshapes sagging breasts to a more youthful and perky position. This procedure is often combined with a breast augmentation to restore lost volume at the same time for a dramatic and rejuvenating result.
The procedure involves making incisions, which can vary depending on the degree of lift needed, from a less invasive periareolar incision (around the nipple) to a more extensive inverted T or anchor pattern. Recovery time varies, but patients typically return to normal activities within a few weeks. For individuals seeking highly specialized care, including aesthetic and gender-affirming procedures like breast augmentation and body contouring, surgeons such as Dr. Graham Ives at IvesMD offer individualized care, utilizing advanced surgical skills to achieve natural, balanced results tailored to the patient's anatomy and goals.
