Schedule A ConsultationWhat Is A Breast Lift (Mastopexy)?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that is designed to lift, raise, and reshape breasts that have sagged or lost their perkiness. This can be caused by overly large breasts, pregnancy, breastfeeding, fluctuations in weight, aging, or genetics. A breast lift tightens up the loose skin and restores the breasts to their higher, more natural-looking position. Mastopexy does not enlarge the breasts or restore lost volume but can be combined with other breast enhancement procedures to deliver the look you desire.
Who Is A Candidate?
- You have one breast that hangs down lower than the other. A breast lift can correct issues with asymmetry;
- Your breasts are droopy or sagging and are positioned lower than their natural position. Your nipples may also point downward, falling below the crease of your breasts, and your areolas may have become enlarged;
- You are in good general health and do not have any medical conditions that would disqualify you from undergoing surgery;
- You are at or close to your ideal weight;
- You are a non-smoker;
- You have realistic expectations of the results and what the procedure can and cannot do.
Procedure Steps
Mastopexy surgery can be performed under local or general anesthesia, depending on the extent of correction needed, and can take anywhere from 2 to 4 hours to complete. Dr. Angelina performs breast lift surgery in Atlanta in the SurgiCare Arts & Aesthetics state-of-the-art surgery center.
Once you are comfortably under sedation, Dr. Angelina will create incisions that are commensurate with the technique used to provide the necessary correction. The placement of the incisions will depend on the type of breast lift that you choose during your consultation with Dr. Angelina.
Once the proper incision pattern has been created, any loose, excess skin will be removed, and the remaining skin is pulled up and tightened.
The areolas may be resized to fit the new breast shape, and the nipples may be moved to a more natural-looking position.
If agreed upon in advance, implants can be added to restore or add any desired volume.
Next, Dr. Angelina will lift and secure the breasts to a higher, more youthful position.
She will close the incisions with care to mitigate scarring.
You will be taken to a special recovery area for a few hours of observation before being discharged home to recover.

Recovery
Recovering after a breast lift is different for everyone and will depend on the extent of your surgery and how well you follow your post-operative aftercare instructions.
Recovery from most breast lift surgeries will require you to have some help at home for the first few days, and you will need to take about a week off from work. Dr. Angelina will provide you with aftercare instructions to follow that will cover how to care for your incisions and drains (if you have them), the proper wearing of your post-surgery compression bra, lifting restrictions, and more.
It will take around six weeks for you to return to your normal schedule; however, you may have residual swelling for several months. Everyone recovers at their own rate, depending on their individual circumstances, so recovery times will vary.
Results
If you take good care of yourself after the surgery, you can expect your breast lift results to last for many years. Maintaining a steady weight, eating a healthy diet, and avoiding sun exposure will help provide long-lasting results.
Dr. Angelina recommends waiting until you are finished having children before undergoing a breast lift because becoming pregnant or breastfeeding after your surgery will change your results. Unfortunately, there is no magic we can do to prevent the natural aging process, so you may eventually experience age-related changes over time.

The most professional, yet compassionate set of people I’ve ever experienced. Dr. Medina, Stacey and Christine are heaven sent! I literally followed Dr. Medina from Boston to Atlanta because he’s an excellent surgeon and will deliver hands down. Stacey will literally answer the phone in the middle of the night if you have any questions. Thank you all for contributing to making me feel alive again.

Breast Lift FAQs
What Can I Expect During My Breast Lift Consultation?
When you first meet with SurgiCare Arts & Aesthetics triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Angelina Postoev, you will spend a few minutes getting to know each other. She will ask you about your medical history, previous breast surgeries, allergies you may have, medical conditions, supplements you take, and anything else that may affect the outcome of your surgery.
Then, Dr. Angelina will examine your breasts, measure their size and shape, and the placement of your nipples and areolas. She will also look at the quality and texture of your skin and talk with you about your aesthetic desires and your expectations of the results. Based on the information you provide and the facts she gathers, Dr. Angelina will develop a treatment plan that will meet your aesthetic goals. She will outline any pre-surgery requirements (if any) and set up a schedule for your procedure.
How Do I Know If I Need A Breast Lift Or Implants?
During your consultation, Dr. Angelina will examine the current state of your breasts and also speak with you about what results you are looking for. She will advise you on the best procedure or combination of procedures needed to accomplish these results. A breast lift will restore the breasts to a higher position on your chest and remove loose, saggy skin, but it cannot fix lost volume or increase their size. Breast implants can be used to restore the volume your breasts once had and also increase the size of your breasts.
What Are The Common Side Effects Of Mastopexy Surgery?
Some of the common side effects of breast lift surgery include an adverse reaction to the sedation, discomfort, soreness, bruising, swelling, numbness, and scarring. Sometimes, women lose sensation in areas of their breasts or nipples, and in some cases, they can experience breast feeding issues in the future. Common side effects of surgery are also possible and include bleeding, infection, delayed healing, and fluid retention (seroma). Dr. Angelina Postoev will provide you with comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure your recovery goes smoothly.
