Breast Lift Procedure

A breast lift is usually performed in an outpatient surgical center. This means that most patients are able to go home shortly after the procedure is completed. The surgery is done under anesthesia, either intravenous sedation ("twilight sleep") or general anesthesia and takes approximately three hours.

There are a few common techniques which are utilized most often. The first, known as a peri-areolar mastopexy, involves an incision which goes around the areola. There are no other incisions, and therefore no other scars and it allows for a modest improvement in nipple position and breast shape. It is the technique most often combined with breast augmentation.

The second approach, known as a verticlal mastopexy, involves an incision around the areaola and vertically beneath this toward the crease under the breast. It avoids the long incision across the bottom of the breasts. Some describe this as a "lollipop lift". It allows for a more thorough remodeling of the breast for patients who require it. Both techniques result in significantly shorter shorter scars than the older traditional techniques.

The third technique is a Wise Pattern ("Inverted-T" or "Anchor") procedure. The incisions for this are the most extensive and usually reserved for patients with more significant breast ptosis or sagging. This approach is the same as the vertical mastopexy but also includes an incision which runs along the crease under the breast.
