Over time, many women experience loss of firmness and elasticity in their breasts, leading to sagging and deflation.

BENEFITS OF BREAST LIFT
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a widely sought-after surgical option for addressing sagging caused by gravity, pregnancy, and other influences. Dr. JOHANNES performs these procedures to help women correct the appearance of drooping or aging breasts. The surgery involves removing excess skin and reshaping the contours to elevate the bust into a more youthful position. Additionally, areola size may be reduced for better proportion.
Deciding to undergo plastic surgery is a deeply personal choice that should align with your individual desires and needs.

PREPARING FOR YOUR BREAST LIFT
PRE SURGERY REQUIREMENTS
Prior to surgery, patients may need to undergo a mammogram. It is essential to stop smoking well before the procedure and avoid certain medications like aspirin for two to three weeks prior. Arrangements should be made for transportation to and from the surgery, as well as assistance during the early recovery phase.
ACHIEVE THE BEST POSSIBLE RESULTS
Breast Lift Techniques
​
Various techniques can be employed during breast lift surgery. The choice of method depends on the degree of sagging (ptosis) present:
Crescent Lift
This technique involves a small crescent-shaped incision at the top edge of the areola, suitable for minimal sagging or when an implant is used.
Doughnut/Periareolar Lift
A circular incision around the areola is made, ideal for mild sagging and often used in conjunction with breast augmentation. This method can also reduce areola size.
Lollipop/Vertical Lift
This approach addresses moderate sagging by removing excess skin and reshaping the breast. The incision runs around the areola and extends vertically down to the breast fold.
Each technique aims to achieve optimal results while minimizing scarring based on individual patient anatomy and desired outcomes.
ANCHOR - INVERTED LIFT
The Anchor/Inverted T Lift technique is designed for addressing significant sagging and pendulous breasts. It is also suitable for cases where a breast reduction is performed alongside a lift. This procedure involves three incisions: one around the areola, one vertically from the areola to the breast crease, and a third concealed within the breast crease. This method is recognized as the most effective type of breast lift.
A YOUTHFUL APPEARANCE
THE BREAST LIFT PROCEDURE
Dr. JOHANNES conducts breast lift surgeries typically performed under general anesthesia, with specific techniques tailored to each patient's needs discussed during the initial consultation.
Depending on the extent of sagging, Dr. JOHANNES may use a lollipop incision (around the areola and vertically down) or opt for the anchor lift, which includes an additional horizontal incision along the breast crease. This approach allows for the removal of excess skin and tissue while repositioning the nipples higher on the breast for a more youthful appearance. The surgery usually lasts about three hours, and patients can return home on the same day.
GET THE SHAPE YOU ARE LOOKING FOR
Combining a Breast Lift & Breast Augmentation
A breast lift elevates the breasts to a more desirable position and repositions fallen areolae. However, for women experiencing deflation due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging, Dr. JOHANNES may recommend combining a breast lift with implants to enhance fullness and shape in one procedure. While breast augmentation alone can provide some lifting effect for minor sagging, pairing it with a lift often yields the best results.
RECOVERY PROCESS
BREAST RECOVERY RESULTS AND AFTERCARE
​
Post-surgery, patients can expect some swelling and bruising for about two weeks, with pain subsiding within a few days. Dr. JOHANNES prescribes medication to manage discomfort and minimize swelling. Patients should avoid straining or lifting heavy objects initially and are advised to sleep on their backs to alleviate pressure on the chest.
To maintain results, patients should refrain from sexual activity and exercise for three to four weeks post-surgery. Normal hygiene practices can resume within one or two days after surgery. Stitches are dissolvable and do not require removal; a surgical support bra is recommended for one to two weeks, followed by a soft support bra for an additional month.
TYPICAL BREAST LIFT RESULTS
Patients will notice immediate improvements after surgery; however, full results will evolve over several months as swelling decreases and scars fade. While results can last many years, they are not permanent due to natural aging processes that affect skin elasticity.
ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
Women with smaller breasts may find their results last longer than those with larger breasts due to less strain on breast ligaments. Maintaining a stable weight and healthy lifestyle is crucial for prolonging results. Dr. JOHANNES advises women to wait until they have completed childbearing before undergoing this procedure, as pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter breast shape post-lift.
RISKS AND SIDE EFFECTS
A breast lift is generally safe when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon; however, potential risks and complications should be considered. During your consultation, Dr. JOHANNES will review risks pertinent to your health history, which may include:
Unfavorable scarring
Loss of sensation
Breast asymmetry
(Partial) loss of nipple or areola
Difficulty breastfeeding
Infection
ALTERNATIVE PROCEDURES
Other options that address breast size and shape include breast augmentation with implants, breast implant removal or replacement, and breast reduction. Some women opt for implants in conjunction with a breast lift.
IMPACT ON BREAST SIZE
While a breast lift is not intended as a reduction surgery, it may give the appearance of smaller breasts since some tissue and skin might be removed to achieve a higher position. Patients desiring larger breasts may consider combining a lift with augmentation.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SURGEON
Selecting the right surgeon is vital in the mastopexy process. Ensure your chosen surgeon is board-certified and experienced. Conduct thorough research by checking credentials, reading online reviews, and viewing before-and-after photos of previous patients. Speaking with former patients can also provide insight into their experiences.
IMPLANT REMOVAL AND LIFT
In many cases, removing breast implants may necessitate a lift due to lax skin tissue; Dr. JOHANNES may recommend this procedure following implant removal.
FUTURE LIFTS
Some women opt for a revision lift after 10-15 years; however, a full lift is often unnecessary unless sagging occurs again, particularly in heavier breasts
SCARRING AFTER MASTOPEXY
Mild scarring is expected post-surgery but often becomes less noticeable over time. Many patients find the aesthetic results outweigh any scarring.
