What is a Breast Lift?

As we age, there are several factors and conditions that may cause the breasts to drop, sag or feel deflated. Our Denver breast lift, or mastopexy, is intended to give you an elevated, more youthful breast contour and nipple position. Breast lifting also gives the opportunity to make adjustments to the dark areas around the nipples (the areolas), such as making them smaller or more symmetrical. 

Are You a Candidate for a Breast Lift?

If your breasts are sagging because of past pregnancies, breastfeeding, weight loss, genetics, or aging, then you may be a candidate for a breast lift in Denver.  You may also be a candidate for breast lifting if you are bothered by your breasts being far apart, floppy or asymmetrical, or if your areolas are significantly enlarged.

Breast Lift FAQs

How Is the Breast Lift Procedure Performed?

A breast lift is done on an outpatient basis in our surgical center under general anesthesia. Dr. Slenkovich tailors his approach to each patient. As such, his incisions may differ depending on the amount of skin that needs to be removed to reshape and support the breast. 

The most common and powerful breast lift procedure is a full breast lift, where the scars make an anchor pattern (around the areola, vertically down to the crease, and forming a curve in the crease of the breast). In doing so, the nipple and areola position is moved upwards, and surrounding skin is removed in order to sculpt the breasts upwards and inwards. Other or lesser incisions may be an option depending on your unique goals and anatomy. ). In some cases, a breast implant may be used to restore volume, add upper fullness, or achieve your desired shape.  After the procedure, the breasts are bandaged with light dressings and protected with a moderately supportive garment. 

What Is Recovery After a Breast Lift Like?

Initial discomfort from a breast lift is easily controlled with oral pain medication. Light activities can resume after about 2 weeks, and strenuous activities after about 6 weeks.  At Colorado Plastic Surgery Center, our breast lift surgeries also include post-operative lymphatic massage therapy to optimize healing and surgical outcomes, and these are performed conveniently in the office during your follow-up appointments.
