ABOUT

A Breast lift which is also known as a mastopexy is a plastic surgery procedure that involves the removal of excess skin from the breast and lifting of sagging breast by tightening the surrounding tissues. The aim of this procedure is to restore the youthful shape and firmness to the breasts which might have been lost by weight loss or age. This procedure is usually done under general anesthesia.

THE TECHNIQUE TO BE CONSIDERED FOR A BREAST LIFT DEPENDS ON:

New Paragraph

• The size and shape of the breast
• The degree of sagging

PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Potential patients have the follow characteristics:

• Anyone who experienced extensive weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding or aging
• Anyone with sagging breasts who wants to enhance their look
• Must be healthy both physically and mentally
• Anyone who want to have a young look

• Standard (Anchor-Pattern) Lift is most commonly used in which the areola and nipple are relocated to a higher position on the breast.  In addition, the Dr. Michael K.Obeng will trim the excess skin and then close he incisions.  Patients with smaller breasts have longer lasting results compared to those who have bigger breasts.
• Doughnut Mastopexy involves less skin removal and results in a significantly faster recovery time compared to the standard “anchor” technique. However, this technique may not be a good option for patients with larger breasts.
• Laser Breast Lift provides a longer-lasting solution for patients with sagging breasts. Unlike the traditional surgery, this procedure makes use of the excess skin as support to the underside of the breast. All breast sizes are candidates for this breast lift technique.
