Over time, factors like aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and genetics can cause breasts to lose their youthful shape and firmness, leading to drooping or sagging (ptosis). A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical solution designed to address these concerns by elevating the breasts, tightening the surrounding skin, and repositioning the nipple to restore a firmer, more youthful contour. This procedure helps rejuvenate the breasts, enhancing their shape and improving self-confidence.
Dr. Goldman combines traditional techniques with innovative methods to achieve natural and long-lasting results. His technique includes rearranging breast tissue for enhanced volume and perkiness, along with liposuction to refine the chest’s overall shape. In some cases, implants may be used for added fullness, and fat injections can contour specific areas for a more defined look. Every procedure is customized to meet your unique aesthetic goals.
Scars are necessary to move tissues as part of a mastopexy, but these can be minimized with proper surgical technique and postoperative care. Scars fade over time, typically taking about two years to fully fade. The incisions are placed in such a way as to help camouflage them, including under the breast and around the areola.
Mastopexy can be performed by itself, but Dr. Goldman often combines it with other procedures. He uses liposuction to contour the sides of the chest and back, to optimize the overall proportions of the breast. In appropriate patients, he will use concurrent breast implant placement to add volume and upper pole fullness. Fat injection may be used to help contour the upper pole of the breast and cleavage area. Fat generally cannot add a large volume increase to the breast. Fat is obtained using liposuction from other parts of the body.
When mastopexy is combined with abdominoplasty, this is a form of the mommy makeover. This is a safe and common combination procedure.
