A mastopexy is a breast lift that raises and firms the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. Sometimes the areola becomes enlarged over time, and a breast lift can reduce this as well. Breast lift surgery does not change the size of your breast. If you want your breasts to look fuller, or smaller, you may want to consider either breast augmentation or breast reduction.

The results of your breast lift surgery are long-lasting. Over time your breasts can continue to change due to aging and gravity. Keeping a healthy lifestyle and maintaining your weight will allow you to retain your new look longer.

A breast augmentation and a breast lift achieve very different results. Some patients find that they are happy with the amount of breast tissue they have and simply want their breasts lifted. Other patients are unhappy with both the volume of their breasts and the degree of sagging, these patients may want to consider having both surgeries done. A personal consultation with Dr. Garcia is recommended to discuss your desired goals and to learn about the surgical options available to you.
Your breast lift surgery can be achieved through a variety of incision patterns and techniques. The appropriate technique for you will be determine during your consultation in which Dr. Garcia will consider your current breast size and shape, the size and position of your areolas, the degree of breast sagging and the quality and elasticity of the skin as well as the amount of extra skin.
Breast lift surgery is a highly individualized procedure. Women choose breast lift surgery for a number of reasons but primarily due to the loss of skin elastic that can result from pregnancy, breast feeding, weight changes, aging, gravity and heredity. Healthy women over the age of 18 years old may be good candidates, we recommend a consultation with Dr. Garcia to discuss your goals and to review of your medical history to ensure surgery is right for you.
