Breast Lift (Mastopexy)
View Toledo Breast Lift Before & After Pictures
View Detroit Breast Lift Before & After Pictures
Breast lift (also known as mastopexy) procedures can help to improve the appearance of breasts that sag or look deflated. This condition, known as ptosis, can be caused by gravity and the natural aging process, as well as pregnancy, substantial weight loss, and other conditions. The breast lift procedure, or mastopexy, may be combined with breast implants to increase the volume of the breasts while correcting their position on the chest. |

Is a Breast Lift Right for Me?
Breast lifts can improve the appearance of breasts that sag, point downward, and lack firmness or substance. Toledo women who describe their breasts as feeling “empty,” as if there is too much skin for the volume of the breasts, may benefit from a breast lift. Breast lift procedures reduce the saggy and deflated look, resulting in more youthful-looking breasts. Breast lifts in Toledo, OH and Detroit, MI may be performed on adult women on any age, although it is recommended that women wait until they are done with pregnancy, breastfeeding, or planned weight loss. These events are likely to impact the breast shape, which could require revision surgeries. Most women in good overall health are medically able of undergoing a mastopexy procedure.
One way that may be used to determine whether you could benefit from this procedure is to place a pencil in the crease underneath the breasts. If the sagging breast tissue holds it in place, the appearance of the breasts could be improved. It may also be helpful to view breast lift before after photos to gauge the potential benefits of this procedure.
The Costs of a Breast Lift
The cost for breast lift surgery is dependent on the surgeon, the amount of ptosis, and whether breast implants will be added during the procedure, among other variables. In order to receive an accurate price for a breast lift, you can schedule a complimentary consultation where Dr. Gupta will assess your individual needs and provide you with pricing as well as financing options.
Procedure Details
Breast lift procedures typically take two to three hours and are performed with general anesthesia. Before the procedure, your Toledo surgeon will discuss your expectations with you, so that you have realistic expectations about the amount of lifting and improvement possible.
During a breast lift, the surgeon creates an incision to remove excess skin and lift breast tissue to an elevated position on the chest. There are several methods in which this can be accomplished; incision sites and sizes depend on the method used. In some cases, breast implants will be added to increase the volume of breast tissue. Once the breasts have been sculpted to the desired appearance, sutures are used to close the incisions.
Recovery After a Breast Lift
Most Toledo, OH and Detroit, MI breast lift patients plan about a week away from work and other obligations. In addition, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for four to six weeks. A surgical bra should be worn to reduce discomfort and support the breasts in the correct position as they heal.
After a breast lift, common side-effects, which usually last about a week, include:
- Discomfort
- Soreness or tenderness
- Swelling
