What is it?
Mastopexy, or breast lift, is a surgical procedure to raise
and reshape sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning
the remaining tissue and nipples. Mammograms and a routine breast
exam are required prior to surgery.
Dr. Iacono uses the widely
preferred techniques including Vertical Scar Mastopexy and
Wise Pattern Mastopexy. Most often, a mastopexy includes
the insert of a small saline implant in the submuscular pocket of
the breast. Less frequently it is placed under the compressed gland.
This is the preferred technique for reshaping and lifting of the
breast. The results are better and longer lasting.
What does it help & not help?
Usually helps with:
sagging breasts
shapeless breasts
How long will it last? The duration of results depends on a variety of factors including
the age, weight, and overall health of the patient.
