Breast Lift Scottsdale

Jump To

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is the ideal procedure for women with sagging breasts and a loss of breast shape. At the Plastic Surgery Center of Scottsdale, we offer breast lift surgery for women who want to rejuvenate the shape and beauty of their breasts.

Correcting Breast Ptosis with a Breast Lift

If a woman’s breasts are sagging, this can be described as breast ptosis. There are three grades of ptosis. Grade I is the mildest form of sagging, Grade II is more moderate, and Grade III is more extreme. The breast lift procedure, also known as the mastopexy, is a method of correcting ptosis.

Breast Lift or Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a procedure to enhance the size of the breasts using breast implants. A breast lift removes excess skin to improve the shape of the breasts, make the breasts perkier, and to raise the areolae and nipples. If there is breast sagging and the patient desires an increase in breast size as well, a breast augmentation with lift can be performed. During your consultation , the option for a breast lift and augmentation can be discussed with Dr. Daiza. A breast reduction and lift is also common.

Personalizing Your Breast Lift

Before surgery, you and your surgeon will discuss options for incision patterns. These patterns correspond to the patient’s desired breast changes and their skin elasticity.

Grade I ptosis can typically be taken care of with a crescent lift, the most minor of the lift procedures. This involves a crescent line bordering the top of the areola.

Moderate ptosis may require either a donut lift or a lollipop lift. The donut lift involves two concentric circles around the areola. The lollipop lift involves one circle around the areola and two diagonal incisions down and outwards from it.

For the most extreme cases of breast ptosis, an anchor lift may be recommended. With this lift, the incision pattern is keyhole-shaped. The top of the keyhole, located above the current position of the areola, is made in the location the areola will be raised to.

Couldn’t be happier with Dr. Daiza! Went to her for a breast implant exchange (saline to silicone) and breast lift after pregnancies and nursing. I’m about 2 months post op and absolutely thrilled with the results. Getting dressed is fun again!! He bedside manner is fantastic and she is very skilled at what she does. 5 stars!!

The Breast Lift Procedure

A breast lift procedure can take one to three hours to complete. After general or local anesthesia has been administered, the surgeon will make the incision(s). The surgeon will trim away excess skin. The incision(s) will then be closed with medical stitches.

Breast Lift Recovery

Once the procedure is complete, you will need to take at least a week off of work while your body heals. Avoid performing any physically taxing activities for at least one month.

It will be necessary to wear a surgical bra in order to give your tissues the support they need as they settle into their new location. You should be able to come in for stitch removal in two to three weeks. Once healing is complete, your breasts will be lifted and perkier.

Breast Lift Cost

The cost of breast lift depends on several factors. Price also varies depending on if the patient desires a breast lift with implants or a breast lift without implants. The Plastic Surgery Center of Scottsdale offers financing with Care Credit.
