Whether it’s due to aging, breastfeeding, genes or weight loss, sagging breasts can have a dramatic effect on how others view you and how you view yourself. A mastopexy, commonly called a breast lift, can quickly turn your sagging breast line into a younger-looking, perkier looking one. A breast lift procedure can be combined with breast implants to give an ever fuller look. Each of these procedures is part of The Plastic Surgery Center’s mommy makeover program.
If you already have breast implants and want to revert to your natural look, you can have your breast implants removed and get a breast lift to complete your new body. Dr. Scott has the expertise to perform breast lift surgery that can not only meet your aesthetic enhancement goals but also provide you with natural-looking results.

Deciding which procedure is right for you depends on your body type and how your sagging breasts are affecting you. In all three procedures, excess skin is removed, the nipples are elevated and the remaining skin is tightened. During your initial consultation, our expert medical staff will go over all your breast lift surgery options and pick the right one for you. We will also discuss the addition of breast implants to your procedure.

Breast lift surgery is an outpatient procedure that is done under general anesthesia. This means that you don’t have to spend the night in a hospital, but you will need someone to drive you to and from your appointment.
In the following weeks after your procedure, you will experience some tenderness, swelling, and pain in your breasts. These effects last only a couple weeks and can be mitigated with the use of OTC medication. Although surgical procedures typically result in scarring, Dr. Scott is highly adept at minimizing the visibility of any residual scarring. Scars from breast lifts usually fade significantly after several months. Patients can resume their normal activities after about a week, although it’s recommended that they refrain from strenuous activities until their breasts fully heal.
Breast lift surgery is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, with results that work. If you are considering a mastopexy to address your sagging breasts, contact The Plastic Surgery Center for a consultation today!
