Introduction to Mastopexy

Mastopexy, commonly known as a Breast Lift, is a cosmetic surgical procedure offered at BeautyBlade Plastic Surgery designed to lift and reshape breasts that have lost their firmness and sagged due to factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, aging, or genetics. This procedure aims to restore a more youthful and elevated breast contour.

What is Mastopexy?

A mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure aimed at removing excess skin, tightening surrounding tissue, lifting and reshaping sagging or drooping breasts. Over time, factors like aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and genetics can lead to loss of breast firmness and a downward shift of breast tissue. This procedure results in a firmer, more lifted breast appearance. Mastopexy does not significantly change breast size, but it can improve breast shape and firmness, providing a more aesthetically pleasing contour.

How Does Mastopexy Work?

During a Mastopexy procedure at BeautyBlade Plastic Surgery, Dr. Samir Hasan makes strategic incisions to remove excess skin, reshape breast tissue, reposition the nipples to a more elevated position, and lift the breasts to achieve a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing contour. The technique used depends on the patient’s unique needs and the extent of correction required.

Types of Mastopexy Techniques

A donut lift mastopexy, also known as a circumareolar or periareolar mastopexy, is a type of breast lift procedure designed to address mild sagging or ptosis of the breasts. This technique involves making circular incisions around the perimeter of the areola (the darker skin around the nipple). The donut lift is often suitable for patients with mild breast sagging and typically results in less scarring compared to other types of breast lift techniques.

The lollipop lift mastopexy, also called vertical mastopexy, is a type of breast lift surgery used to address moderate to severe breast sagging (ptosis). This technique involves making two incisions: one around the areola and another vertically from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease. The resulting scar resembles the shape of a lollipop, with one circular scar around the areola and a vertical scar extending downward from the areola to the breast crease. The lollipop lift is effective in providing significant breast lift and reshaping while minimizing scarring compared to some other breast lift techniques.

A full anchor lift mastopexy, also known as an inverted-T or Wise pattern mastopexy, is a surgical procedure used for correcting significant breast ptosis (sagging). This technique involves making three incisions: one around the areola, a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease, and a horizontal incision along the breast crease. While this method allows for significant lifting and reshaping, it also results in more extensive scarring compared to other breast lift techniques. However, it’s particularly effective for addressing severe breast sagging and achieving a substantial lift and rejuvenated breast appearance.
