‍

What is Breast Lift Surgery?

Breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy, is a cosmetic procedure designed to restore the natural shape and position of the breasts. Over time, breasts can lose their firmness and elasticity due to several factors such as aging, pregnancy, weight changes, and gravity. A breast lift helps by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple and areola to a higher, more youthful position.

‍

The procedure also reshapes the breast tissue to create a more rounded, perky look. At Beautologie, we specialize in breast lift surgeries in Bakersfield, Fresno, and Stockton, delivering impressive results tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our surgeons will help you achieve a lifted, youthful breast appearance, enhancing both your physical appearance and your self-esteem.

‍

Breast lift surgery not only helps improve the aesthetics of your breasts but also helps restore a youthful silhouette and enhances the proportion of your body. Whether you want to feel more comfortable in your clothes or simply want to regain a youthful appearance, a breast lift can help you achieve the look you desire.

‍

Is Breast Lift Surgery Right for You?

A breast lift can be a life-changing procedure, but it’s important to determine whether you’re a good candidate before moving forward. If you're experiencing sagging breasts or feeling self-conscious about the appearance of your breasts, a breast lift surgery might be right for you. During your initial consultation, our skilled surgeons will assess your medical history, breast anatomy, and aesthetic goals. Based on this evaluation, we will help determine if a breast lift is the best solution, and we’ll guide you through your options for a custom treatment plan.

‍

For women looking to add volume to their breasts, breast lift surgery can also be combined with breast augmentation surgery to enhance both shape and size. This can be especially helpful for patients who have experienced a loss of volume due to pregnancy or weight loss. Our surgeons will work closely with you to determine if a combination of procedures is appropriate for achieving your ideal results.

What to Expect Before Your Breast Lift Surgery

Before undergoing breast lift surgery at Beautologie, you’ll have an in-depth consultation with one of our skilled surgeons. During this meeting, we will discuss your concerns, goals, and options for the procedure. We’ll evaluate the amount of sagging and the best approach to address your needs. Based on your anatomy, we’ll recommend the most appropriate incision technique to achieve the best outcome.

‍

We also perform a thorough evaluation, which may include a mammogram, to ensure we understand your breast structure fully and can provide the best possible results. Our surgeons will guide you through the process, from pre-operative care to post-operative recovery. Additionally, we’ll review your health history, including smoking habits and medication use, as both can impact your healing process. Smokers are advised to quit at least two to four weeks prior to surgery to minimize risks and improve healing.

‍

Patients will also be asked to avoid certain medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and blood thinners, which can increase bleeding risks during surgery. Our team will provide you with a comprehensive list of pre-surgery instructions to ensure you’re fully prepared for the procedure.

‍

The Breast Lift Procedure

The breast lift procedure begins with the creation of incisions, the placement of which depends on the degree of breast sagging and your desired results. One of the most commonly used techniques is the vertical (or lollipop) incision. This approach involves an incision around the areola and another that extends vertically down the breast. This technique allows the surgeon to remove excess skin and reshape the breast while keeping the scar as discreet as possible.

‍

‍

In some cases, a full anchor incision may be used, especially for women with more significant sagging. The anchor incision follows a pattern around the areola and continues beneath the breast fold. Although this technique leaves more visible scarring, it’s necessary for patients requiring significant skin removal and reshaping. Your surgeon will discuss the incision technique that is best for your unique anatomy and provide an honest estimate of the expected scarring.

‍

After the incisions are made, the surgeon removes excess skin and tissue to lift and reshape the breasts. The nipple-areola complex is repositioned to a higher, more youthful position, while the remaining breast tissue is sculpted for an enhanced shape.

‍

Results and Recovery After Breast Lift Surgery

One of the most exciting aspects of breast lift surgery is the dramatic improvement in the breast's appearance. The surgery can significantly rejuvenate the appearance of your breasts, creating a youthful, perky shape that looks and feels natural. While some discomfort, swelling, and bruising are expected after surgery, these symptoms should gradually subside within a few weeks.

‍

During the first few weeks of recovery, you may experience tenderness or soreness around the incision sites, as well as temporary numbness in the nipples. These side effects typically improve over time. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, but full physical activities should be avoided for at least 4-6 weeks to allow the body to heal.

‍

The final results of the surgery may not be fully visible until several months after the procedure, as swelling continues to subside and the breast settles into its new shape. Over time, the appearance of the scars will also fade, becoming less noticeable. We provide post-operative care instructions and offer specialized treatments to minimize scarring and enhance the healing process.

‍

What Types of Breast Lifts Are Available?

There are several types of breast lift techniques, including:

• Crescent Lift (Mini-Lift)
• Vertical Lift (Keyhole or Lollipop Lift)
• Full Lift (Anchor Lift)
• Benelli Lift (Circum-Areolar Lift)

‍

The Vertical Lift is the most commonly used method at Beautologie, as it provides excellent results with minimal scarring. Your surgeon will determine the best approach based on the degree of sagging and the desired outcome.

‍

‍

Will I Lose Nipple Sensation After a Breast Lift?

It is extremely rare for patients to lose sensation in their nipples after breast lift surgery. At Beautologie, we preserve the blood flow and nerve connections to the nipple-areolar complex during the procedure, ensuring that sensation is typically maintained.

‍

Does Breast Lift Surgery Leave Noticeable Scars?

While scarring is unavoidable, the experienced surgeons at Beautologie work meticulously to minimize scarring. We use advanced suturing techniques that reduce the visibility of scars over time. Most patients find that scars fade significantly within 6-12 months.

‍

Can a Breast Lift Be Combined with Other Procedures?

Yes! A breast lift can be combined with procedures like a tummy tuck or liposuction to address multiple concerns in a single surgery. Combining procedures reduces recovery time and can provide more dramatic, comprehensive results. Many women opt for a "Mommy Makeover" that includes a breast lift, tummy tuck, and liposuction to restore their pre-pregnancy bodies.
