Pregnancy, breast-feeding, weight loss and ageing can take a toll on the shape and volume of a woman’s breasts, leaving them appearing saggy and deflated. Dr. Demianczuk of Pacific Plastic Surgery is one of the best rated breast lift surgeon in Vancouver with over 20 years experience. A breast lift uses a tightening technique to lift the breasts to a higher position on the chest wall. It creates an elevated appearance, as well as corrects the size and placement of the nipple-areolar complexes. Every breast lift case is unique.
Following a thorough assessment, Dr. Demianczuk will decide which technique and incision approach will garner the most desirable outcome. If there is significant loss of breast tissue, a conservatively sized breast implant, or the patients own fat may be added (via fat transfer) to optimize the volume of the breast. The type of incision used during a breast lift procedure will vary depending on the degree of lift and whether implants will be placed during the surgery.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts for a more youthful appearance. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging can take a toll on the shape and volume of a woman’s breasts, leaving them looking deflated or stretched. Dr. Demianczuk brings decades of experience in aesthetic breast surgery, offering personalized care and satisfying results for each patient.
The Surgical Experience
Breast lift surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and is considered an outpatient procedure. Operative time in most cases is between 2-3 hours. Recovery following a breast lift will vary depending on whether it was a stand-alone surgery or in conjunction with another body-contouring procedure. Most patients are able to resume their normal work schedules within 7 days. Exercise will be a gradual process. Most women are able to resume their normal exercise routines within 4-6 weeks.
What Is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift repositions the breast tissue and nipple higher on the chest to restore a perkier, more youthful contour. It creates an elevated appearance and corrects the size and placement of the nipple-areolar complexes. During the procedure, excess skin is removed, and internal tissues are reshaped for long-lasting support and symmetry. While a breast lift enhances the shape and elevation of the breasts, it does not significantly change volume, though volume can be added using implants or fat transfer when appropriate.
Who Is a Candidate for a Breast Lift?
Ideal candidates include anyone with sagging breasts due to aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuations. If you are happy with your breast size but concerned about drooping breasts or asymmetry, a lift can restore a more youthful breast position and firmness. Candidates should be non-smokers or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery, and have realistic expectations about surgical recovery and results. Each breast lift case is customized, and your personal needs and goals will guide your treatment plan.
What Can Be Combined with a Breast Lift?
A breast lift can be performed alone or combined with other procedures, depending on your aesthetic goals. If there is a significant loss of breast tissue, a conservatively sized breast implant or the patient’s own fat may be added to increase breast volume. Attention will also be made to improve any pre-surgical asymmetry. Dr. Demianczuk will help you determine whether a lift alone or in combination with augmentation or reduction will provide the best results.
What to Expect During Surgery and Recovery
Following a thorough assessment, Dr. Demianczuk will decide which surgical technique and incision approach will garner the most desirable result. Breast lift surgery is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes two to three hours. After surgery, you may experience mild to moderate swelling, bruising, and discomfort. Most patients return to light activities within seven to ten days, though more strenuous activity should be postponed for several weeks. You will be provided with a surgical bra to aid in comfort and healing.
Breast Lift Results
You can expect to see a lifted breast shape and improved nipple position shortly after surgery. Results continue to improve as swelling resolves and can last for many years, especially with a stable weight and healthy lifestyle. Every patient’s anatomy and preferences are different, and these are carefully considered to provide your ideal results.
