Breast Lift Introduction

Introduction to
Breast Lift

Voluptuous, shapely breasts are a powerful symbol of feminine beauty. However, as women age their breasts often begin to look saggy and deflated. At Aviva Cosmetic & Laser Clinic we can help reclaim your former breast shape by performing Breast Lift surgery in Toronto. By gently lifting the breast tissues, we can restore a perkier, more youthful appearance and help you feel more self-assured and confident. Read on to learn more about breast lift surgery.

What is a Breast Lift

The actual name for a Breast Lift surgery is Mastopexy. Over time, some women will see their breasts sag, change, and lose perkiness which is a medical condition also referred to as breast ptosis, which can occur because of weight fluctuation, pregnancy, natural aging, and/or other inherited factors or something as simple as the effects of gravity. A breast lift can elevate and tighten the breasts, lift the nipples, and create a more aesthetically pleasing look.

Candidates
Who are the best candidates for the Breast Lift procedure?

You might be an excellent Breast Lift candidate in Toronto if your breasts have lost their volume and shape and your nipples appear droopy. While not every woman with these characteristics needs surgery, you might benefit from a Breast Lift if the appearance of your breasts makes you feel self-conscious and less attractive.

In addition, you might benefit from a breast lift if you have recently lost a massive amount of weight and your breasts have failed to resume their previous shape due to skin laxity. Another group of women who often pursue breast lifts are those who have experienced one or more pregnancies. During pregnancy, the breasts often dramatically increase in volume. Once the woman stops breastfeeding, the breasts usually shrink back to their pre-pregnancy size. The rapid expansion and contraction take a toll on the breast tissues, often resulting in droopy-looking breasts.

Breast lift is often performed in combination with breast augmentation with breast implants for women whose breasts have lost both volume and elevation.

Therefore, the best candidates for a Toronto, Canada breast lift surgery are those with the following characteristics:

  • Are in good overall health (physical, mental, and emotional)
  • Have good skin quality and are at a stable weight
  • Have lost volume and shape in their breasts due to aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or weight changes
  • Have realistic expectations
  • Have sagging skin around the breasts
  • Have nipples that are pointing downward or lower than they used to be

It’s about you
What’s the first step?

On the day of your Breast Lift surgery at Aviva Cosmetic & Laser Clinic, your provider will place you under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure and may employ various surgical techniques to achieve the best possible results.

During this cosmetic procedure, excess skin and fat are removed from the breast. The nipple and areola are moved to a more youthful, natural position, or resized if needed, and excess skin that was located above the nipple is moved down and reshaped to improve the contour, shape, and firmness of underlying tissue in the breast.

There are three different incision options and these vary based on the amount of incision and lift needed. During your consultation, your provider will determine the incision that will provide the best results. The more common lifts include:

  • Anchor lift: Your provider will place an incision that runs around the areola, go vertically down the lower breast tissue, and horizontally across the lower breast crease. This is typically used when more intensive lifting is required.
  • Donut breast lift: Also called a peri-areolar lift, it involves making a circular incision around the areola. It is also often used to reduce the size of the areola. While this technique is best for women with mild sagging, Your provider’s aesthetic fellowship training allows her to perform this surgery on women with more extensive sagging as well.
  • Lollipop lift: During a lollipop lift, Your provider makes the incision vertically along your chest wall. It corrects moderate sagging and is a good option for women needing a slight lift.

Breast Lift Recovery

The surgery is typically completed in three to four hours, after which most patients are closely monitored in a recovery area and provided with detailed post-operative instructions for a smooth recovery. It is recommended to bring a family or friend to drive you home as you might have some lingering effects from the sedation.

You’ll be able to go home shortly after your surgery. You will be outfitted with a special support bra to help minimize swelling during your initial recovery. Similar to our breast augmentation post-op, we recommend you take it slow for a few days and arrange time off work to allow for healing.

Over the next several weeks, our medical staff carefully observes the patient’s recovery. You will be asked to return to our office for weekly checkups, and we encourage you to contact us immediately if you experience significant discomfort or any signs of complications. While serious complications after breast lift surgery are rare, we strive to minimize the risk by providing the best possible post-surgical care.

Expect to avoid strenuous activities, including exercise, for up to six weeks post-surgery. Typically, our breast lift patients enjoy their enhanced breast shape and contour for many years afterward. However, your breasts will continue to change due to the natural aging process, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.
