Why Do Breast Droop?

Pregnancy, weight loss and gravity cause breast droop. A breast lift (mastopexy) allows you to give your breasts the same youthful appearance as your body and match your personality and lifestyle.

Depending on the amount of breast droop you have, this can determine the type of incisions made to create the breast lift.

Some patients may be able to have just a periareolar mastopexy; this allows for an incision around the nipple. This creates a small amount of elevation and can often be combined with a breast implant.

Recovery

Breast Lift recovery is approximately 4-6 weeks depending on if implants are used or not. Dressings and a surgical bra will be placed on you after surgery. You also may have drains which are used to collect excess blood and fluid postoperatively.
