BREAST / 05
Breast lift.
Understand shape, position, and the trade-offs of a surgical lift.
UNDERSTANDING THE OPTION
A closer look.
A broader perspective.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, reshapes and raises the breasts. Consultation begins with your priorities and a discussion of skin, existing volume, and the changes you wish to consider.
The consultation conversation
Discuss the differences between a lift and augmentation, incision patterns, scar expectations, and how future body changes may affect your decision.
The considerations
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, scarring, asymmetry, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and healing complications. Suitability and expectations require individual assessment.
These are general examples, not a complete risk list or a recommendation. Your surgeon should explain the benefits, risks, alternatives, and recovery requirements that apply to you. Results vary, and no particular result can be guaranteed.
Questions worth bringing
- Would a lift alone address my goals?
- What scars should I expect?
- How could future pregnancy or weight changes affect the decision?
