What Is A Breast Lift?

A breast lift, technically referred to as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that lifts the breast and elevates the position of the nipple to a more desirable location. As one ages, the ligaments in the breast lose integrity, causing the breast to sag. This can be particularly problematic in situations of weight fluctuation and after breastfeeding. 

During mastopexy in Beverly Hills, the breast is raised by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reform and support the breast contour. Lifting the breast repositions the nipple to create a more youthful and aesthetic appearing breast. 

Typically, patients considering a breast lift in Beverly Hills are looking to improve the appearance of their breasts from issues caused by:

  • Aging
  • Gravity
  • Heredity
  • Pregnancy
  • Breastfeeding
  • Significant weight fluctuations 

A breast lift does not significantly change the size of breasts. To achieve larger breasts, you may combine breast augmentation surgery with breast lift surgery in a procedure called a breast lift with implants. To achieve smaller breasts, you may pair breast reduction with a breast lift procedure. 

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Breast Lift in Beverly Hills?

Good candidates for breast lift in Los Angeles include women who are in good mental and physical health and want to improve the appearance of their breasts. 

Typically, ideal candidates:

  • Live a healthy lifestyle
  • Are non-smokers
  • Maintain a stable weight
  • Have finished childbearing and breastfeeding

  • Have flatter, elongated, or pendulous breasts

  • Current size and shape
  • Placement of nipples and areolas
  • Degree of sagging

What Can I Expect During A Breast Lift Procedure?

Dr. Davis’s expertise allows her to customize procedures to address each patient’s breast lift needs. While each operation will have unique details, there are some general steps you can expect during the procedure:

You will be greeted by the peri-operative team at the clinic and check in. Dr. Davis will evaluate you, perform her surgical markings, and ensure you are comfortable before entering the operating room. Once you are safely sedated with general anesthesia, Dr. Davis will begin your breast lift procedure as determined during your consultation. 

Dr. Davis will make incisions to reshape the breast tissue and remove redundant skin to elevate the position of the nipple. Dr. Davis will tighten the remaining skin by closing the incisions that are layered deeply within the breast tissue to support the breast. The duration of the surgery is approximately 3 hours.

Immediately following surgery, breasts are wrapped with a soft bandage. The bandage is maintained for 3 days. After day 3, a surgical bra or sports bra can be worn for 3-4 weeks to minimize swelling.
