Breast Lift

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a transformative surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape and position of the breasts. Over time, factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and gravity can cause the breasts to lose their youthful firmness and begin to sag. A breast lift addresses these concerns, restoring a more uplifted and youthful appearance.

Dr. Roomana Akhlaque, a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, specializes in breast lift procedures. With her expertise and patient-centric approach, she tailors each surgery to suit the individual needs and aesthetic goals of her patients.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift reshapes and repositions the breasts by removing excess skin, tightening the surrounding tissue, and lifting the nipple and areola to a higher position. This procedure does not significantly change the size of the breasts but focuses on creating a perkier and more symmetrical contour.

For patients seeking to enhance volume, a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation using implants or fat transfer. Conversely, for those looking to reduce breast size, a breast lift can be performed alongside breast reduction surgery.

Benefits of a Breast Lift

• Restores a youthful and lifted breast shape.
• Improves nipple and areola position and appearance.
• Enhances symmetry between the breasts.
• Boosts self-confidence and body image.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Breast Lift?

You may be a candidate for a breast lift if you:

• Are bothered by sagging or drooping breasts.
• Have nipples that point downward or sit below the breast crease.
• Have stretched skin or enlarged areolas.
• Maintain a stable weight and are in good overall health.
• Are a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking before surgery.

The Procedure

A breast lift is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes 2-3 hours, depending on the complexity of the surgery. Dr. Akhlaque uses advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring while achieving optimal results. The incisions may vary based on the degree of sagging and the desired outcome but are strategically placed to be as discreet as possible.

Following the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which subside within a few weeks. Dr. Akhlaque provides detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and long-lasting results.

Dr. Roomana Akhlaque’s expertise and compassionate care ensure that every breast lift procedure is tailored to achieve natural-looking, beautiful results, helping her patients feel more confident and empowered.
