Breast ptosis is the weighing of the breast gland causing a stretching of the surrounding skin and a global sagging of the breast. The breast lies in a too-low position and is flattened in its upper part. Breast ptosis can be present from the start, or appear after weight loss or pregnancy with breastfeeding. It can be isolated (pure ptosis) or associated to mammary hypertrophy. Conversely, there can be a ptosis with a small breast (hypoplasia or hypotrophy). The operation shapes the breast by stretching the skin envelope and concentrating the glandular tissue. The gland is concentrated and put back in proper position, after removal of the skin excess, thus placing the nipple and areola back in a youthful position.

The skin incisions are sutured and cause scars. When the ptosis is very severe, the scars have an anchor shape, with a peri-areolar scar between the brown and white skin, a vertical scar from the areola down to the bottom fold of the breast (infra-mammary fold). The length of the horizontal scar is proportional to the severity of the sagging.

Before the operation

A preoperative check-up is conducted. You will meet the anesthesiologist in consultation at latest, 48 hours prior to surgery. Besides the usual preoperative examinations, you will be asked to have a mammogram and/or a breast ultra-sonography.

No medication containing aspirin will be taken for 10 days before surgery.

The procedure

Techniques are adapted to every new case, in order to obtain the best possible results. However, there are common principles:

  • All removed tissues are sent to a special laboratory for microscopic examination (histological exam).
  • After surgery, you will wear a “bra-like” dressing with elastic bandage.

Depending on the severity of the ptosis, the operation can last two to three hours

After the operation

In most cases, postoperative pain is moderate and usually relieved by ordinary pain medication. Swelling (edema), bruising and pain, when lifting arms upwards are common symptoms.

Your dressing will be removed after 2 days and replaced with a lighter one, resembling a custom-made bra. You will leave the hospital 1 to 2 days after the operation and attend consultation 2 to 3 days later. You will then be wearing a surgical bra, which size will have been determined in the hospital, prior to your leaving. You should wear the surgical bra day and night for at least one month after surgery.

It is often possible to return to work within a week or so, depending on the job. You can resume most of your normal activities, including some form of mild exercise, after several weeks. You are advised to wait for one to two months before fully practising any sports.

The result

It can be best appreciated six months to one year after the procedure: the breasts are usually harmoniously shaped, symmetrical and have a natural shape. Besides the physical improvement, this operation usually has a positive effect on weight control, exercise, clothing and psychological health.

However, before this final outcome, one should be patient, wait for scars to slowly fade, and accept a regular follow-up every 3 months during the following year. You should also bear in mind that scarring is a patient-related process.

The operated breast remains natural and sensitive and responds normally to hormonal shifts.

FAQs On Breast Lift

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.

Recovery times vary, but most patients can return to work within a week or two, although strenuous activities should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. Swelling and discomfort are normal and can be managed with medication. Dr. Alexandre will provide detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

While the results of a breast lift are long-lasting, they are not permanent. Factors such as aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy can affect the longevity of the results. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help extend the benefits of the surgery.
