Undoing the Results of Pregnancy with Breast Lifts

By Michael Reynolds


Breast lift involves lifting and reshaping the breasts and positioning the nipple/areola to the ideal location on the breast. In plastic surgery the term for this surgery is Mastopexy.Patients may need breast lifts due to a number of factors. These may include being born with breasts that are droopy, breasts that fall after major weight loss, and doubtless most widely, torpedos that sag and fall in size after a few kids. As a rule the breasts become more droopy and smaller with each pregnancy the mother has. The medical term for drooping is ptosis.

The good news is that there are some wonderful procedures that can reverse these changes and create beautiful torpedos. This correction may involve just a breast lift alone or a breast lift combined with a breast enhancement.

Who are candidates? The patient alone can decide if their knockers position or shape is a problem for them and would like to improve or change the overall shape and contour. The degree of breast lifting can be fairly minor or involve heavy re-contouring. The breast enlargement is usually done with a Mastopexy in order to make up for lost volume, in truth most women who have lost volume (their knockers have become smaller) decide to have their torpedos improved to a size that might be bigger than the size they initially were, before they were pregnant.

Dependent on the degree of breast bending there are a variety of different breast lift DC systems that can be tailored to what it is the patient's looking to reach and what their present breast shape needs. The lift may potentially involve only incisions round the areola (this is referred to as a circumareolar Mastopexy). This works really well for tits that need minimal lifting.

The most common procedure that I perform involves an incision that goes round the areola and then straight down to the inframammary fold. Some call this a lollypop Mastopexy, as the incisions and scars resemble that of a lollypop (the actual name for this operation is a circumvertical Mastopexy). The Mastopexy that is necessary to correct the greatest degree of sagging is called a full Mastopexy, which involves incisions around the areola, down to the inframammary fold, and then along the inframammary crease.

Obviously an experienced Cosmetic Surgeon will use the most simple methodology that will permit the mandatory enhancements. In my practice, in which I have done over fourteen-hundred breast lifts, I am hunting for the surgery that will permit the best result with the minimum amount of scars.

If breast augmentation is done simultaneously, it is vital the breast enlargement be done first. This is because the degree of breast lifting and skin resection will be changed by the tits being made bigger. In addition, it's almost very unlikely in most patients, to pinpoint the right size of the implant for the boob enlargement, because of the fact the tits are sagging and don't exactingly show the size of the breast. This is because the breast implant and the breast tissue are not in the same place.

Not all San Diego Surgeons perform the surgery in the way I do. I am assured however that in my hands this gives the absolute best result. The surgery is done with a pocket made for the boob enlargement created and an implant sizer placed in the pocket. At this point the skin is stapled together in a way that approximates the degree and kind of breast lift that'll be done. Then the patient is set up by elevating the back of the operating room table. My nurses and I inspect the patient in regards to boob size, the degree of lift, and the predicted position of the nipple. In this fashion not only can the proper size of the implant be determined. Simultaneously, the breast lift and the degree of skin resection can also be correctly evaluated without burning any bridges. Once the right size and the correct degree of breast lift with optimal nipple positioning is determined, the tacking staples are removed after thoroughly marking the staple positions. The breast augmentation is then finished with the proper size implant and the permanent implant placed. Then, following the marks of the tacking staples, the breast lift is then performed.
