Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to lift and reshape the breasts, restoring a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing appearance. Dr. Stephen Beals, MD, in Paradise Valley, AZ, specializes in mastopexy and offers personalized care to help his patients achieve beautiful and natural-looking results.
During your initial consultation with Dr. Beals, he will take the time to understand your specific goals, concerns, and desires regarding your breast appearance. He will evaluate your breast shape, size, and degree of sagging to determine the most appropriate mastopexy technique for you. Dr. Beals offers a range of mastopexy options, including different incision patterns and surgical approaches, to ensure a tailored treatment plan that suits your individual needs.
The mastopexy procedure typically involves making discreet incisions on the breasts. The specific incision pattern will depend on factors such as the degree of ptosis and the desired outcome. Common incision types include the anchor (full mastopexy), the lollipop (vertical mastopexy), and the periareolar (circumareolar mastopexy) incision. Dr. Beals will carefully place these incisions to minimize visible scarring and ensure optimal results.
Once the incisions are made, Dr. Beals will reshape and lift the underlying breast tissue, reposition the nipple and areola to a more youthful position, and remove any excess skin. In some cases, he may also perform a breast augmentation or reduction to enhance the overall aesthetic outcome or achieve better breast symmetry. The goal is to create a more lifted and youthful breast appearance that complements your body proportions.
