Mastopexy

What Is Mastopexy?

A mastopexy, or breast lift, removes stretched skin and re‑positions breast tissue and nipples to correct sagging (ptosis). Your Leva Medical surgeon tailors the lift pattern—vertical, anchor, or peri‑areolar—to match your degree of droop and keep scars discreet.

You’ll notice an immediate uplifted contour; swelling and scar redness fade over 2–3 months. Most patients return to desk work in 5–7 days and light exercise after week 4.

Ideal for: Women whose breasts have lost shape or firmness after pregnancy, weight change, or natural aging.

How Mastopexy Works: A Closer Look

  1. Prep & Anesthesia

    Outpatient surgery under light general anesthesia with an MD/DO anesthesiologist; you head home the same afternoon.

  2. Core Steps

    Carefully mapped incisions (lollipop, anchor, or donut); elevate glandular tissue, remove excess skin, and raise the nipple‑areolar complex to a youthful position.

  3. Duration & After‑Care

    2–3 hours in the OR, recover one hour in our private suite, then a loved one drives you home. Wear a soft surgical bra 24/7 for two weeks.

  4. Healing & Follow‑Up

    Mild soreness and swelling ease within days; most bruising is minimal. See us the next day then 1 week, 1 month, 3, 6, and 12 months for scar‑care checks and progress photos.

Mastopexy

Is This the Right Treatment for Me?

  • Ideal Candidate
    Stable weight, non‑smoker (or willing to quit 6 weeks before and after surgery), and realistic about lifting—not enlarging—breasts.
  • Downtime Snapshot
    Plan 5 days off work; avoid lifting >10 lbs and high‑impact exercise for 4 weeks.
  • Health Requirements
    Normal mammogram if 40 +, good skin quality, and clearance for anesthesia; commit to scar‑care instructions.
  • Alternatives & Add‑Ons
    Combine with augmentation for added volume or fat grafting for upper‑pole fullness.
  • Lifestyle Factors
    Future pregnancies or major weight changes may re‑stretch tissue.

FAQs - Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

How much does a mastopexy cost?
Breast‑lift surgery starts at $13,500 and covers your board‑certified surgeon, accredited operating suite, anesthesia, and 12‑month doctor‑guided follow‑up. With approved credit, payments can be $150–$250 per month after a typical deposit. Exact quote after exam; individual needs vary.
Can I go home the same day?
Yes—mastopexy is an outpatient procedure. You’ll spend about an hour in recovery, then a trusted adult can drive you home.
Will I need drains, special garments, or massages?
No drains at Leva Medical. Our precision technique minimizes bleeding. Wear a supportive surgical bra for two weeks; no lymphatic massages or recovery houses are required.
Are there alternative procedures or complementary add‑ons?
Many patients add silicone implants for extra volume or pair the lift with liposuction of the axillary roll for smoother side contours.
Does the surgery hurt?
Expect mild tightness or soreness for 1–3 days, managed with prescription or OTC pain relievers.
Will I have visible scars?
Incisions are placed in natural breast lines and typically fade from pink to a fine line within 6–12 months, hidden by most bras and swimwear.
How soon can I return to exercise?
Resume light cardio and lower‑body workouts after week 4; wait until week 6 for heavy lifting and upper‑body routines.
Do I need a mammogram or breast ultrasound before surgery?

Age 40 + – Provide a screening mammogram from the past 12 months.

Ages 30–39 with higher risk (BRCA mutation, strong family history, dense breasts, or a suspicious lump) – Diagnostic mammogram and/or targeted ultrasound.

Under 30 or pregnant – Imaging only if a mass or tenderness is present. Any new lump, discharge, or abnormal study must be evaluated before surgery.

How long do results last?
With stable weight and supportive bras, your uplift can last 10 years or more before natural aging may prompt a minor touch‑up.
