Breast Lift Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

In Beverly Hills, breast lift plastic surgery or mastopexy has given women the freedom to dress more freely and to look more beautiful and sexy. While breast implants enlarge breast size, they do not lift sagging breasts. Beverly Hills women who have bear children and breast fed are often saddened by having droopy breasts, even if they have had breast augmentation. Contrary to the popular notion that breast augmentation lifts sagging breasts; saline or silicone breast implants do not lift breasts significantly. So what are the options for Beverly Hills women whose breasts have sagged after childbirth or weight loss?

Mastopexy is a breast lift procedure that lifts the breast tissue and nipple to it normal level over the chest. In Beverly Hills there are different types of mastopexy procedures performed by plastic surgeons. Often breast lift, or mastopexy, is combined with breast augmentation, in a cosmetic surgery procedure that is called augmentopexy. The technique of breast lift surgery depends on the degree of breast dropping.

In cases of mild breast ptosis, or sagging, most Beverly Hills plastic surgeons choose to do a Crescent breast lift, which involves removing a crescent shape amount of breast skin above the areola and then tacking up the nipple areola complex.

In case of mild to moderate breast ptosis, or sagging, most Los Angeles plastic surgeons choose to perform a peri-areolar or Benelli mastopexy. With this technique of breast lift a doughnut shaped area of skin is removed from around the areola and the surrounding breast skin is tightened in a purse sting around the areola. The advantage of this breast lift technique is that its scar is well hidden at the periphery of the areola.

For Beverly Hills women who have severe breast sagging as a result of massive weight loss, gastric bypass, pregnancy, or just aging, an inverted-t, or anchor mastopexy is the breast lift technique of choice. The axis of this anchor goes vertically from the nipple/areola to the under-breast fold, and the legs of the anchor fall in the under-breast fold. This breast lift technique offers the tightest lift with the best longevity.

Beverly Hills and Los Angeles women who seek breast lift plastic surgery should now that although mastopexy is an effective procedure, breasts can re-sag through the normal aging process. Wearing bra support, choosing not too large and heavy implants, and avoiding great fluctuations in weight can help slow down the sagging process.
