“Limiting incision length and minimizing dissection is a more contemporary approach to mastopexy.”
- Dr. Pratt
Thanks to our exclusive offering of Vectra 3-D Imaging System, those considering breast surgery can virtually view their results with Breast Sculptor software. The interface allows us to calculate breast measurements, position implants, as well as select the type, size and shape of the implants. Using this software, we can show you the likely outcome from any angle, as well as superimpose the pre-op image.
After surgery, you will be bruised, swollen, and tender for several days. Your pain should be controllable with oral medication and you should be back to work in a week or so. However, like other breast surgeries, you must not use your arms too much. Due to swelling, it will take several weeks to assess your final size and shape of your breasts.
Under the influence of gravity and time, women’s breasts droop and lose their youthful appearance. A breast lift, or mastopexy, restores the shape and position of sagging breasts and recreates a youthful profile. Sometimes a breast implant is inserted simultaneously to further improve shape and restore fullness. Mastopexy surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure.
