Main Line Plastic Surgery offers customized breast lifts in Philadelphia for women seeking to regain youthful contours. This transformative procedure lifts the breasts to a higher, perkier position by removing excess skin and reshaping the remaining tissue. Patients have more confidence after the operation and feel comfortable in any clothing. Our board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Raymond Jean, develops personalized treatment plans to realize any aesthetic vision.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new contour. A plastic surgeon makes incisions around the areola, in the crease under the breast, and vertically down from the areola to the bottom of the breast. Excess skin is removed, and breast tissue is shifted to a higher position on the chest. The remaining skin is then tightened to create a firmer, youthful shape. While this operation does not significantly change the size of the breasts, it can make them appear fuller and more proportional to the rest of the body.
Breast lifts are often combined with other procedures, such as breast augmentation surgery. Adding breast implants during a lift makes it possible to both change the shape and add volume. Dr. Jean helps our patients decide whether this is a good option.
The recovery period typically lasts several weeks. Most patients can return to normal activities in 48-72hrs. Pain and discomfort are usually minimal and prescription pain medicine if needed is only taken for a few days. Most patients return to desk work within a few days, but more strenuous activities should be avoided for 2-4 weeks. It may take a few months to see the final results.
The incision sites will likely be a little sore and possibly bruised or swollen for the first 7-14 days. All stitches are dissolving and do not need to be removed. No drainage tubes are used. It is important to avoid straining the incisions until they are fully healed. Post operative treatment to minimize scarring is provided to each patient. Breast lift incisions will gradually become less visible within a year after surgery.
Dr. Jean provides detailed instructions on post procedure care and activity restrictions. Follow-up appointments help to monitor healing progress and ensure that everything is going well.
Elastic skin can conform to the new breast shape and is less likely to appear loose or uneven afterward. The lift may have longer-lasting results for patients with good skin elasticity.
As breasts sag over time, many women have trouble finding tops, bras, swimsuits, and dresses that fit properly. Lifting the breasts makes clothes look better on the body. Women also have the option of going bra-less after a breast lift.
Our patients become more confident when breasts have better shape, size, and position on the chest. Their posture may improve, clothes fit better and they feel more comfortable with their breasts. This renewed body image can improve their quality of life. This can be achieved with minimal downtime because breast lift is an outpatient procedure with a rapid recovery.
