Breast Lift

Are you considering a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, to rejuvenate your appearance and boost your confidence? You’re not alone. Many individuals explore this procedure, known medically as mastopexy, to address sagging and reshape their breasts, often due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes. At Atwood Plastic Surgery, we understand the personal nature of this journey and are committed to supporting you every step of the way.

Under the expert guidance of Dr. Danielle Atwood, a fellowship-trained plastic surgeon with a compassionate approach, our practice in Little Rock, AR, offers personalized care designed to meet your unique aesthetic aspirations. Dr. Atwood’s extensive training and personal understanding of the changes women experience ensure a comfortable and empathetic environment. With her expertise, you can trust that your breast lift will be conducted with precision and artistry.

Understanding the Breast Lift Procedure

The breast lift procedure involves removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to elevate and firm the breasts. This process can also involve repositioning the nipple and areola to achieve a more youthful contour. Although a breast lift does not significantly alter the size of the breasts, it can be combined with other procedures, such as breast augmentation or reduction, to enhance the overall outcome.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?

Ideal candidates for a breast lift include individuals who:

Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight
Do not smoke or are willing to abstain before and after surgery
Have realistic expectations and a clear understanding of the procedure
Experience sagging or have downward-pointing nipples

The Breast Lift Experience at Atwood Plastic Surgery

At Atwood Plastic Surgery, your comfort and satisfaction are our priorities. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

Consultation

In your initial consultation, Dr. Atwood will discuss your goals, evaluate your breast anatomy, and recommend the best approach to achieve your desired lift.

Preparation

You will receive pre-operative instructions, including dietary guidelines, medication adjustments, and smoking cessation advice to optimize your surgery and recovery.

Procedure

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and lasts between two to three hours, depending on the complexity of your case.

Recovery

After surgery, you’ll receive detailed care instructions. Most patients resume normal activities within two weeks, with full recovery in a few months.

Recovery after Breast Lift

Most patients experience mild swelling, bruising, and tightness for the first few days after surgery. A supportive surgical bra is typically worn to minimize swelling and help the breasts heal into their new shape. Light activities and gentle walking can usually be resumed within a few days, but strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and sleeping on your stomach are usually postponed for 4–6 weeks or until cleared at your follow-up visit.Swelling gradually subsides over the first several weeks, and your breasts continue to settle into their final, lifted position — revealing a firmer, more youthful contour with improved shape and projection.
