Breast Lift Surgery In Bradenton, FL

Also known as a mastopexy, a Breast Lift surgery raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to support the new breast shape and contour.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons have provided statistics showing that breast lifts have grown in popularity as a procedure by 70% since 2000, outpacing Breast Implants 2-to-1.

Some women are troubled by the enlargement over time of the areola, and a breast lift will reduce this as well.

A breast lift can rejuvenate your figure, creating a more youthful and uplifted appearance.   A woman's breasts often change over time, losing skin elasticity and weighing downward.  This can diminish their youthful shape and firmness.  The loss of skin elasticity can result from:

• Heredity or Genetics
• Weight Fluctuations
• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Aging
• Gravity

Breast lift surgery does not significantly change the size of your breasts or round out the upper part of your breast so if you are wanting fuller cleavage this can be achieved with Breast Augmentation.  It is best to consider carefully the end result you desire.  If your goal is to have smaller breasts, consider combining breast lift and a breast reduction surgery.  However, if you want your breasts to be lifted, but to also appear fuller, consider breast lift and breast augmentation surgery.  Dr. Royce will discuss in great detail what your options are and what may be the best path based on your desired outcome.

• Breast lifts are a surgical procedure that raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. The goal of a breast lift is to create a more balanced and perky look to your breasts. Breast lifts come in handy when they droop due to loss of elasticity due to a variety of possible contributory factors.

Three Types of Breast Lifts

• Circumareolar has an incision around your areola
• A keyhole or lollipop has an incision around your areola and at the bottom of your areola
• Full breast lift or anchor has an incision circling your areola, a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the inframammary fold, and a horizontal incision along the natural breast crease

What to Expect After a Breast Lift

After your surgery, you will have to wear a supportive bra that will keep your breasts in the proper location while they heal and reduce swelling.

You will most likely return to work after a 5-7 day rest, and return to aerobic exercise about 30 days post-op, and all other vigorous activities about 60 days post-op.
