Atlanta Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
There are several breast surgery options available, but sometimes all that is needed is a simple breast lift. The purpose of breast lift surgery is to improve the profile of sagging breasts, making them look more youthful and perky. The breast lift procedure creates an enhanced posture by reducing the size of the skin envelope. Breast droop is brought on by the combination of several factors, including large breast size, aging, lack of bra support, pregnancy, and weight loss. Each of these factors causes stretching of the breast skin, and thus the breast droops or sags, also called ptosis of the breast.
Breast lifts can also be combined with breast implant surgery if your breasts have lost volume in addition to becoming saggy. This condition is common after pregnancy and breastfeeding, but can also result from aging. Many women simply want their breasts to look the way they did when they were younger or before they had children, and a breast lift with or without implants can create a more youthful appearance.
For women with uncomfortably large breasts who are considering breast reduction, a breast lift may be included to improve profile as well as reduce the size of the breasts.
Women have breast lifts for many specific reasons, including the following:
• Breasts have begun to sag over time
• Breasts droop after pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Clothes do not fit properly
• Bras are uncomfortable
• Lack of cleavage
• Wish for perkier breasts
• Desire for better breast contour and profile
• Wish to feel sexier and more feminine
• Improved self-esteem and confidence
The breast lift procedure may be performed by Dr. Jones under a local or general anesthetic. Smaller breast lifts can be done in the office with local anesthesia, whereas larger breast lifts and breast augmentations need to be performed in a hospital or an accredited surgical center setting.
Dr. Jones will discuss your concerns with you and explain the details of breast lift cosmetic surgery. There are a number of options to consider, including whether or not another breast procedure should be performed at the same time. He will work with you to determine a surgical plan that best suits your needs to create the results that you desire.
