Breast Lift surgery(Mastopexy operation)

A breast lift is a surgical procedure that is done to raise and reshape a woman?s breasts. It can also reduce the size of the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple). This procedure can be done alone or in conjunction with the insertion of breast implants.



If an extensive uplift is required, an incision around the areola, down, and beneath the breast is needed. Lesser degrees of uplifting may allow one to have only the incision around the areola.



This procedure takes about two hours and is done with general anesthesia. Insurance will not cover this procedure as it is considered completely cosmetic in nature. Medication will control the minimal pain and discomfort that patients usually experience. You can plan on not driving or working for 1 week and not exercising for 4 weeks.
