How Breast Lift Surgery Works and What to Expect

Thank you for joining me! Today we're going to talk about breast lift surgery, also known as mastopexy.

In this episode I'll explain what breast lift surgery is, and how breast lift surgery works with the human anatomy to give an ideal result.

We cover a lot of interesting ground in this episode, and answer many of the questions people have about breast lifts:

What is the difference between a breast lift and a breast reduction?

What are the types of breast lift surgery and how do surgical techniques differ in each type?

Who is a good candidate for a breast lift? Who is a poor candidate for a breast lift?

Why weight gain or weight loss after a breast lift is a problem for long lasting results.

Why is a preoperative mammogram so important before a breast lift?

What are my current thoughts on the use of GalaFLEX in a breast lift?

What is the recover process like after a breast lift, and what is the pain like?

What are the risks involved in a breast lift?

What is scarring like after a breast lift, and what are the important considerations regarding scarring in a breast lift?

As a plastic surgeon with over 32 years of experience, I've addressed the questions and concerns of thousands of patients, and I can tell you that everyone has questions when it comes to plastic surgery, and breast lifts are no exception. That's why I made this episode!
