What Are The Techniques Of Breast Uplift (Mastopexy) Surgery?
All methods so far invented rely on actual skin removal. Perhaps the most important characteristic of an attractively-shaped breast is the balance between the volume of the breast, and the surface area of the skin holding that volume. If these two are in the correct proportion, then usually an attractive shape results. When there is a mismatch, that is there is too much skin for the breast volume, then the breast is too "relaxed" or "droopy" or "saggy" with a downward descent below the normal level. Correction of this problem then requires either increasing the volume, as with an implant, or decreasing the skin area, called a mastopexy, or sometimes both these methods are needed. The use of an implant is discussed in detail elsewhere. Removal of skin must always result in a scar someplace on the breast.

Can You Lose Sensation Of The Nipples?
Yes, that is a possibility, because virtually every mastopexy involves cutting around the nipple. Nerves grow back slowly, so usually we allow two years for the sense of touch to return to normal, and if not by then, it probably will not.

What Kind Of Scarring Will Occur?
Removal of skin must always result in a scar someplace on the breast. Almost always, the descent of tissues has included the nipple-areola which becomes too low for an attractive look, and so the minimum scar is usually one which goes all the way around the nipple-areola ("The Circle" or the "Binelli"). For mild degrees of descent, that scar around the nipple-areola is all that is necessary. If more skin than that has to be removed, then there will have to also be a vertical scar downward from the nipple-areola so the scar will be a circle with a line downward ("The Lollipop").

If the breast relaxation is even more severe than that, then there will also be a horizontal scar from side-to-side under the breast so the scar will be a circle with a line down and then a curved line under the breast ("The Anchor"). Only at consultation can the extent of the scar needed be estimated. It is known, however, that attempts to correct a severe degree of breast relaxation using only the scar around the nipple-areola generally result in severe problems, and often lead to complications.

What Is The Usual Recovery Time After A Breast Lift?
Recovery time depends on the individual, but usually follows a general pattern. For the first five to seven days, the patients take fairly strong pain medicine, usually a mild narcotic. During this time they generally stay at home, and they cannot drive a car or operate machinery. Near the one-week mark, when they are on milder medicine, they can start light exercise, such as walking, treadmill, stationary bike, but not impact exercises like running or aerobics. The second week, weights or exercise machines can be added, and then after three weeks, running and aerobics can be done. The point at which work can be resumed depends upon how the work activities fit into the progression described above, and this is individualized.
