Who is a candidate?

Women who have sagging breasts due to past pregnancies, weight loss, genetics or aging and desire larger breast.

Are implants sometimes with a Mastopexy?

Yes we use both saline and silicone implants when it is necessary to provide more breast volume.

How is a breast lift performed?

The design of the incisions can vary, but usually include incisions around the nipple-areolar complex and in the crease under the breast. Other incision techniques may include a vertical lift "lollipop" or a full lift "anchor type." The nipple-areolar complex is repositioned higher, the excess skin is removed, and the breast is reshaped in a pleasing contour and in a more normal position.

How long is the recovery process?

The patient will go home in a bra with only light dressings over the incision lines and will wear it for about 4 weeks. Sutures are removed within 10-14 days and initial discomfort is controlled with oral medication. A patient can start light activity in 7-10 days.

Where are mastopexy operations performed?

Dr. Schantz performs most mastopexy operations as outpatient procedures in our accredited office surgical facility under local anesthesia with monitored intravenous sedation.

Are there risks associated with mastopexy?

All surgery involves risk and potential complications. A thorough discussion of the risks and potential benefits of any procedure is an essential part of the preoperative consultative process.
