Are you looking to restore the youthful contour of your breasts and boost your confidence? A breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, could be the solution you’ve been seeking.
At Gaines Plastic Surgery in Gainesville, FL, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Greg Gaines leads our expert team with over 15 years of experience in cosmetic surgery. Having trained at prestigious institutions like the University of Virginia, the University of Texas, and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Dr. Gaines focuses on delivering individualized care to help patients look and feel their best with renewed confidence.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Over time, factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or genetics can cause breasts to lose their firmness and elasticity. By removing excess skin, tightening the breast tissue, and adjusting the nipple position, a breast lift restores a youthful and lifted appearance.
This procedure is ideal for women who are happy with their breast size but want to improve their shape and position. For a more comprehensive transformation, a breast lift can be paired with augmentation or reduction to meet your specific aesthetic goals.
Benefits of a Breast Lift
A breast lift offers numerous benefits that go beyond physical appearance, including:
- Enhanced Shape and Symmetry: A breast lift restores a perkier, more proportionate appearance, helping you feel more confident in your body.
- Boosted Self-Confidence: Many women report a renewed sense of self-esteem after the procedure, as they feel more comfortable in their skin.
- Clothing Fit Improvement: Enjoy wearing bras, swimsuits, and tops with better fit and comfort without the need for extra support.
At Gaines Plastic Surgery, we use advanced surgical techniques to ensure natural results while minimizing scarring. Our personalized approach ensures that your goals and expectations are met with care and precision. Dr. Gaines is committed to creating natural, symmetrical, long-lasting results tailored to your unique goals.
The Breast Lift Consultation
Dr. Gaines practices a conservative approach toward cosmetic enhancement. With an in-depth consultation, Dr. Gaines will discuss your unique concerns and goals. Additional factors like pre-existing medical conditions and budget constraints will also be weighed to create a treatment plan that best suits your needs.
By learning more about your desired aesthetic outcomes, Dr. Gaines can help you develop realistic expectations of what a breast lift can do for you. For each patient, Dr. Gaines aims to create an outcome that is beautiful yet completely natural looking. After a breast lift, your new breast shape should resemble your breasts before they begin to droop or lose volume. Depending on your cosmetic goals, Dr. Gaines may recommend you consider breast augmentation in addition to a lift to achieve your best possible results.
The Breast Lift Procedure
Breast lift surgery is performed at our office as an outpatient procedure. The procedure is simple, effective, and tightens loosened skin and the muscle beneath it to restore a naturally full, lifted look.
During a breast lift, Dr. Gaines will make an incision around the darkly-colored areola. This thin incision will extend beneath the breast to the top of the rib cage. Dr. Gaines will remove excess breast tissue and skin, and the nipple will be repositioned to sit higher on the breast. If desired, an implant can be inserted at this time, above or below the muscle of the breast. Dr. Gaines will close the incision in the breast with delicate sutures that will minimize the appearance of scarring. A compression band may be placed around the chest to aid post-surgical healing and contouring.
In the weeks following treatment, you will periodically visit our office to ensure your healing is progressing on time and free of complications. While you are healing, your breasts will feel sensitive and need to be protected from physical contact. You should abstain from strenuous activities like heavy lifting, strength training, and contact sports during this time.
