Breast Lift

Introduction

Introduction to Breast Lift Surgery

Many women in Charlotte may be uncomfortable with the appearance of their breasts, especially as aging, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy can change their firmness, lift, and profile. Sagging or drooping breasts are not inevitable; a plastic surgeon can reshape them to restore a more natural, youthful appearance.

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that can reshape the breast contour, tighten the skin in the area, and elevate the nipple position. During a breast lift at Queen City Plastic Surgery in Charlotte, NC, Dr. Enam Haque will remove excess skin and reshape the breast tissue to achieve a raised appearance. Some women may also choose to combine a breast lift with a breast augmentation for fuller, perkier breasts.

What Is a Breast Lift?

There are a number of reasons why the appearance of the breasts can change over time, although the most common reasons for a loss of elasticity and fullness include:

  • Pregnancy
  • Weight changes, especially major weight loss
  • Breastfeeding
  • Aging
  • Genetics
  • Gravity

While many of these factors may be unavoidable or highly beneficial to a woman’s life, the breast changes that accompany them are often an unwanted result. At Queen City Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Enam Haque can help Charlotte women restore and rejuvenate their appearance with a strategic breast lift procedure.

Who Are the Best Candidates for a Breast Lift?

A mastopexy is well-suited for adult women in Charlotte who want to change the appearance of their breasts. Because weight gain or loss can change the appearance of your breasts, a breast lift is best suited for people who are satisfied with their current weight and are not planning for major changes. This helps ensure the procedure’s results are long-lasting. In addition, smokers should stop smoking at least one month before the procedure.

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?

When breast lift surgery is carried out with expertise and artistry by Dr. Haque in Charlotte, patients enjoy the following compelling benefits:

  • Firmer, tighter skin
  • Sculpted, elevated breasts
  • A more youthful-looking nipple placement
  • A perkier, more attractive chest profile
  • Heightened confidence and self-esteem
  • A wider range of clothing choices
  • Lasting, natural-looking changes

What’s the First Step?

Your Breast Lift Journey with Enam Haque, MD, FACS

When you visit Queen City Plastic Surgery for a breast lift consultation, Dr. Haque will review your medical history in detail. He will learn more about your appearance goals and develop a personalized surgical plan tailored to your needs and goals. Additionally, Dr. Haque will address your questions about the procedure, present before-and-after photos, and discuss the options for a breast lift.

Dr. Haque is highly experienced with the most innovative and advanced approaches to breast lift surgery. Rather than simply removing excess skin, Dr. Haque’s procedure reshapes and elevates the breast tissue to produce long-lasting, beautiful, and well-supported results. You can also discuss whether you are considering an augmentation in addition to mastopexy.

What to Expect on the Day of Breast Lift Surgery

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Haque will conduct the procedure at Queen City Plastic Surgery. In most cases, mastopexy takes from one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Your Charlotte plastic surgeon will make an incision around the areola and potentially vertically below to the crease of the breast, depending on your unique surgical plan.

Your doctor will lift and reshape the underlying breast tissue to improve the firmness and contour of your breasts. In addition, the blood vessels and nerves to the nipple are preserved in a mastopexy. The nipple will be reset for a more forward-facing appearance. In some cases, your breast tissue may also be used to create a fuller upper appearance of the breast, while excess skin is removed. Some women may also receive breast implants during the breast lift procedure if they also want to augment the size of their breasts.

Breast Lift Recovery

Your Guide to Post-Breast Lift Care

In most cases, dissolvable sutures are used that will leave your body. Dr. Haque will provide detailed instructions to help support your recovery. After a breast lift, your results will be visible immediately. You will wear a sports bra without underwire for the first month after your procedure in order to protect your results, and your surgical team will provide more thorough information on how to minimize the appearance of scarring.

How Much Does a Breast Lift Cost in Charlotte, NC?

Pricing for a breast lift in Charlotte can vary depending on the specific techniques utilized, the extent of skin sagging present, and whether surgery is combined with other procedures, such as breast augmentation or a mommy makeover.
