breast lift (mastopexy) introduction

Thin skin, large breasts, gravity, aging, pregnancy, breast-feeding, hormone and weight changes, and genetics can all contribute to sagging of the breasts. A mastopexy, or breast lift surgery, will remove excess skin, raise the breast, reposition the nipple and areola, and reshape your breasts into a higher, fuller position.

If you like the size of your breasts when you are wearing a bra, but just want them raised, then a breast lift is for you. Some women choose to also have breast implants added at the same time as their breast lift surgery to increase their breast size. On the other hand, a breast reduction is preferred if you want your breasts higher, but smaller in size.

Breast lifting or mastopexy usually takes 1 to 3 hours, and is performed with local anesthesia and IV sedation, or with general anesthesia. For more limited breast lifts, local anesthesia may be all that is needed.

When assessing your particular situation, many breast surgeons will describe your breast sagging as mild, moderate, severe, or with pseudo-ptosis. (Ptosis, pronounced "toe-sis", simply means sagging). The classification system is based on where the nipple sits relative to the fold under the breast (known as the inframammary fold).

mild ptosis - In mild breast ptosis, the nipple lies just below the fold under the breast, but is still above the lower portion of breast tissue.

moderate ptosis - In moderate breast ptosis, the nipple is further below the fold than in mild ptosis, but is still above the breast tissue.

severe ptosis - In severe breast ptosis, the nipple points down and sits well below the fold as well as below the breast tissue.

pseudo-ptosis - In pseudoptosis, the nipple is at or above the fold, but the breast tissue itself is sagging

Depending on your current nipple and breast position, and your desired outcome, there are several variations of breast lifts that may address your needs and give you the fuller, perkier, higher breasts that you desire.
