Real Patient Experience
Hear our doctors, staff, and patients share what makes our care special.
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.

How Mastopexy Works: A Closer Look
Outpatient surgery under light general anesthesia with an MD/DO anesthesiologist; you head home the same afternoon.
Carefully mapped incisions (lollipop, anchor, or donut); elevate glandular tissue, remove excess skin, and raise the nipple‑areolar complex to a youthful position.
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.
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.
Benefits of Mastopexy

Symmetry Refinement
Corrects uneven breast height and areola size in one procedure.
