Breast Lift
Dr. Marshall has helped many Boston breast lift patients achieve the figure they desire. His Boston plastic surgery facility is devoted to individual care in an inviting, family-like atmosphere. Please peruse the following paragraphs to learn more about breast lift in Boston.
A breast lift, known as a mastopexy, is a procedure that raises and reshapes sagging, droopy breasts. During the aging process, a woman’s skin loses elasticity which causes the breasts to sag and lose volume. Breast lift surgery is designed to elevate the breasts in order to achieve a more youthful appearance. The procedure is sometimes combined with breast augmentation surgery in order to maximize results.
Reasons Boston Breast Lift Patients Receive the Procedure:
- Elevate breasts due to sagging caused by aging and gravity.
- Create firmer breasts following loss of substance after pregnancy and breast-feeding.
- Re-align nipples that point down or to the side.
- Bring back the natural suppleness of the breasts following weight loss.
About Breast Lift in Boston
Breast lift surgery normally takes between one and a half to three hours to complete. Dr. Marshall uses a variety of techniques and will help you make a decision on which potential scar option you prefer. The incision is made around the area where the skin is removed and defines how the nipple will be relocated After excess skin is removed, the nipple is moved into a higher position and the skin surrounding the areola is lowered to avoid reducing nipple sensation.
Some Boston breast lift patients, primarily those with small breasts and minimal sagging, may prefer to receive a modified procedure that requires less extensive incisions. The "doughnut (or concentric) mastopexy" is a procedure where circular incisions are made around the areola and a doughnut-shaped area of skin is removed. New innovations in breast lift techniques allow Dr. Marshall to use minimal incisions and minimize nipple sensation reduction.
For a breast lift Boston patient getting a breast implant as well, the implant will be placed in a pocket directly beneath the breast tissue or under the chest muscle wall. When this combination is chosen, it is of great importance that the patient cease smoking within days before and after the procedure.
Recovery Process for Breast Lift Boston Patients
Following the procedure, patients are told to get a lot of rest and limit their movement in order to accelerate the healing process and recovery time. Bandages are applied immediately following the surgery in order to aid the healing process and reduce the movement of the breasts. Once bandages are removed, Dr. Marshall recommends that all of his Boston breast lift patients wear a specialized surgical bra for several weeks. Oral medication can help alleviate any post-operative discomfort. While complications are unusual, breast lift Boston patients can minimize potential problems by carefully following the post-operative directions given by Dr. Marshall.
In addition to breast lift procedures, Dr. Marshall offers other breast enhancement treatments. Please visit these pages to learn more about how Dr. Marshall helps Boston breast augmentation and breast reduction patients.
