Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

Breast lift, technically called mastopexy, is surgery to uplift and improve the shape of a female breast that sags, but is proportionate with the body frame, has lost firmness and skin elasticity, has a flatter elongated shape, has a nipple that points downward, and has stretched skin and an enlarged areola (the pigment skin surrounding the nipple).

A breast lift is appropriate for women who wish to improve breast shape and position. When an increase in breast volume is also desired, breast implants may be inserted in conjuntion with a breast lift (See breast augmentation).

While a breast lift does not generally affect breast function, women who are planning future pregnancies should discuss this with Dr. Rumley. The changes that occur in the breasts during pregnancy can minimize or reverse the improvement a breast lift provides. Likewise, plans for significant weight loss should be discussed.

During your consultation, Dr. Rumley will discuss with you your goals with regard to breast size and shape as well as incisions that will be used. Dr. Rumley will perform a breast examination as well.

Mastopexy is an outpatient procedure. It is performed under general anesthesia.
