Breast Lift and Mastopexy

During a breast lift, plastic surgeons reposition the nipple to a central position on the raised breast and remove the excess skin. Breast lift techniques use a variety of incisions, such as around the areola, from the bottom of the areola to the crease under the breast and along the natural breast crease. In the months following a breast lift, incisions heal fairly quickly, however, breast lift scars will continue to become fainter and lighter for up to a year.

To get the best results and minimize scarring, The plastic surgeon Dr. F-Caron will recommend the ideal approach for your body during your consultation.

Liposuction is often used around the breast to further define the contour for better overall shape. The surgery lasts approximately two hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia. Following the procedure, swelling and soreness is to be expected, however, the discomfort is easily managed with pain medication.
