What is a Breast Lift?
A mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a transformative body contouring procedure designed to elevate and firm the breasts. This cosmetic surgery involves the removal of excess skin and the tightening of surrounding tissues, resulting in a rejuvenated and healthier appearance. Ideal for women experiencing loss of breast firmness, size, or shape due to factors like aging, gravity, weight loss, or pregnancy, a breast lift addresses these concerns. Recent advancements in breast lift surgery have led to its increased popularity, with a notable 70% surge in demand since 2000, according to new statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS). Renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Brandon-Dzung Mang specializes in performing this life-changing procedure at Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery, serving women in Atlanta, GA, and the surrounding areas. Dr. Mang employs cutting-edge techniques tailored to the degree of sagging present and individual aesthetic goals.
Can I Get a Breast Lift?
While you may initially consider breast implants to achieve your desired fullness, a thorough physical examination at our office might reveal that a breast lift is a more suitable option.

At Rejuve Aesthetic Surgery, a cosmetic lift can enhance the appearance of breasts with significant sagging below the crease line and drooping nipples. It's essential to be in good physical health and maintain a healthy weight if you're contemplating a breast lift. Our team can guide you toward the most fitting solution for your aesthetic goals.

How Does a Breast Lift Work?
Anticipate your breast lift surgery lasting approximately 2-4 hours under general anesthesia, contingent on the complexity of breast ptosis (sagging). The specific method employed will be determined by factors such as the size, location, and nature of the incision. The two primary techniques, the anchor (inverted-T) and vertical incision cater to different needs. Post-incision, any excess, unhealthy skin, unwanted breast tissue, and fat will be meticulously removed. The remaining skin is then tightened, uplifting the breasts for a more youthful appearance. Often, the areola's size is adjusted for symmetry with the new breast. If part of your treatment plan includes it, this is the opportune time for inserting implants or performing a fat transfer. In cases where a lift is the sole procedure and concerns about size and shape arise, silicone or saline implants can be considered at a later date.
What are the benefits of a breast lift?
Revitalize your appearance with a breast lift—a sought-after solution for those seeking to eliminate surplus skin and enhance the firmness of their breast contours. This transformative procedure extends its benefits even to areola augmentation. Unlike interventions that reduce breast tissue, a breast lift exclusively addresses excess skin, ensuring that your breasts maintain their volume and acquire a more sculpted allure. While the size of your breasts may not undergo a dramatic shift, a breast lift proves to be an excellent choice for individuals contending with significant skin sagging induced by factors such as weight fluctuations, pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding.
What Can I Expect After My Breast Lift?
Following your breast lift, you'll be outfitted with a supportive bra to alleviate swelling, and a discreet tube will be placed to assist in managing post-surgery drainage. Anticipate some temporary bruising and swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. Dr. Mang or a dedicated team member will furnish you with at-home care instructions for tending to your incisions, facilitating a smooth healing journey. Within a few weeks, witness the unveiling of your complete results as your reshaped breasts gracefully settle into their new position. Revel in the natural look and feel, leaving you with a sense of beauty and newfound youthfulness.
