Breast lift is also referred to as mastopexy surgery. A breast lift essentially changes the shape and contour of the breast and elevates the nipple or areola on the breast as a whole. Women who are postpartum, going through menopause, have lost weight or developed sagging breasts as a result of aging are perfect candidates for breast lift. Breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure performed in 1 of our state of the art operating rooms. A simple breast lift may only take little more than 2 hours whereas a more complicated breast lift may take 3 to 4 hours to complete. Most breast lifts are performed with the patient under anesthesia but some simple breast lifts may be done with the patient under local anesthetic and mild sedation.

All patients are given detailed instructions to follow during their pre op visits with the clinical staff. These instructions include wound care, prescriptions, surgery information and follow up appointments. Its very important to follow the instructions set forth so that complications are avoided.
