What is a Breast Lift?

Known in the medical community as a mastopexy, the breast lift procedure is a common plastic surgery procedure that provides female patients with the breast shape and size that they prefer. During this procedure, the surgeon will eliminate excess skin around the breasts and tighten the breast tissue in order to reshape the breasts.

The goal of this procedure is to restore the previous appearance and firmness of the breasts, providing the woman with the figure that she prefers while also giving her the ability to feel confident once again.

Breast Augmentation vs. Breast Lift

The breast lift and breast augmentation procedures are very similar, and many patients mistakenly believe that the two procedures are interchangeable. However, there are distinct differences between a breast lift and a breast augmentation.

During the breast lift procedure, breast tissue is tightened and skin is removed in order to restore a more youthful appearance. Dermal material can be inserted, acting as an internal bra, reinforcing the tissue for those with thinning skin or who need extra support to achieve the best results. Conversely, the breast augmentation procedure relies on implants to change the size and shape of the breasts. 

Some patients find that having a breast augmentation performed at the same time as their breast lift gives them the personalized results that they are craving.

What to Expect: Decision to Recovery

Making the Decision

There is a lot to consider when trying to decide if a breast lift is the right choice for you. Most people who opt to have this procedure performed find that it gives them back their youthful figure, allowing them to feel confident and energetic once again. This plastic surgery procedure is known for its natural-looking results, which means that you will likely feel as if you look as good as you did 10 or 20 years ago.

You should be at least 18 years old before you decide to have a breast lift procedure, but other than that, there is no ideal age for having this procedure performed. The timing will depend on your own personal circumstances, the experiences you have gone through, and your family history.

One of the most common misconceptions about the breast lift procedure is that it should only be performed after you are done having kids and breastfeeding. This is false — it is still possible to get pregnant and breastfeed after you have had a breast lift. This surgery has no impact on your ability to successfully breastfeed. However, during your recovery, it may limit your ability to lift small children, so you may want to keep that in mind.

The breast lift procedure is known for its long-lasting results. You will enjoy your full and firm breasts for between 10 and 15 years after you have this procedure performed.

Consultation

Once you have decided to have the breast lift procedure performed, you should begin scheduling consultation appointments with multiple surgeons in order to find the best fit for you.

These are some of the questions that you should ask during your consultation appointment:

• Are you board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
• How many breast lift procedures do you perform on a regular basis?
• Can I see before and after images of your recent work?
• What are the costs of this procedure, and what payment options are available?
• Can the breast lift be combined with other procedures?

You should work with Dr. Lincenberg for your breast lift Atlanta procedure because he:

• Is Mayo Clinic Trained
• Is a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon

Preparing for Your Breast Lift

In the weeks leading up to your breast lift surgery, you should prioritize your health and wellness. Enjoying a well-balanced diet and exercising regularly will ensure that you are physically fit prior to your surgery, and it can help minimize your discomfort during recovery.

You also will want to coordinate logistics during this time. Schedule the time you will need for the procedure and for the recovery off of work, and arrange for someone to take you to and from the surgery. You also will want to coordinate child care for the weeks following surgery, because you will not be able to lift your small children during your recovery.
