Contact UsWhat is a Breast Lift?
Breast lift surgery (mastopexy) is a cosmetic procedure that redefines the breasts by trimming away excess skin and pulling tight the existing tissue to result in a firmer, younger appearance. This life-changing surgery is performed for women who have lost breast fullness and shape and who have breast sagging due to aging, significant weight loss, or nursing. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Chet Mays performs this cosmetic breast surgery at Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa in Louisville, KY. By incorporating the latest methods, Dr. Mays can choose the correct technique, depending on the degree of sag present in addition to the desired outcome.
What are the Benefits of a Breast Lift?
A breast lift aims to restore a more youthful and uplifted appearance to the breasts. Here are some potential benefits of a breast lift:
- Breast rejuvenation: Over time, factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can cause the breasts to lose their firmness and elasticity. A breast lift can help reverse the effects of these factors and restore a more youthful shape and position to the breasts.
- Enhanced self-confidence: Many women feel self-conscious and unhappy with the appearance of sagging breasts. A breast lift can help improve self-confidence and body image, allowing women to feel more comfortable and confident in their own skin.
- Combining with other procedures: A breast lift can be combined with other breast enhancement procedures, such as breast augmentation or breast reduction, to achieve a more comprehensive result. This allows for personalized customization based on individual needs and goals.
Am I A Candidate for A Breast Lift?
You may come to Mays Plastic Surgery & Med Spa believing you are a candidate for breast augmentation using implants, but after a physical exam, you may realize that a breast lift is better. This is dependent on the severity of the sag that is present. Breasts and nipples that point down, in most cases, need a lift to correct skin irregularities and raise the breasts higher up on the chest wall. If you have nipples that droop downward and your breasts look elongated, a mastopexy (breast lift) can dramatically help their appearance. If you are contemplating a breast lift, you must be physically healthy and at a healthy weight.
How is a Breast Lift Performed?
Breast lift surgery takes about 2 – 3 hours and is performed using general anesthesia. The duration of this surgery is dependent on the complexity of breast size and sagging. There are a variety of surgical techniques used for cosmetic breast lift surgery, and the technique is defined by the type of incision. The inverted-T (known as an anchor) and the vertical incisions are the most commonly used types. Once the incision is made, any wrinkly and loose skin is carefully trimmed away along with fat and tissue that is not desired. The skin is then tightened, and the breasts are lifted so they appear rejuvenated and perky. In many cases, the size of the areola is redesigned and reduced to be symmetric with the new placement and shape of the breast. At this point, an implant or a fat transfer can be inserted in the breast to add volume if this is agreed upon with Dr. Mays prior to surgery. If the lift is the only surgery being performed and if size and shape are a concern, silicone or saline implants can be done at a different date. If an implant is not desired, select patients who have dense beast tissue can auto-augment their breast to provide fullness during the breast lift.
Breast Lift Reviews
I'm officially 11days post op from my extended tummy tuck, brachioplasty and breast lift(without implants) and I have to say I am so impressed. First, shout out to the wonderful staff. My husband and I love Lawanda! She's the most helpful nurse ever, making the entire experience super easy and relaxed(even when I was a difficult patient with lots of questions.) The staff at River Ridge (current surgery center) are also wonderful and gave me my best surgery experience to date. They made the whole process seamless and calmed my nerves. Then, there was the surgery and results. Dr. Mays was great to work with from the very first meeting to the last appointment. And the results he gave me -5 stars!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I personally love my new breast. I couldn't believe it when I seen them the day after surgery. I had lost over 150 lbs prior to surgery and they were so sad and saggy. He restored their youth and perkiness!! I was shocked, I really had given up hope for them. My husband's favorite part was my tummy. He couldn't believe how good it looked. He himself(down 100lbs) is considering getting a tummy tuck from Mays after seeing my results. I had done several consultations with other PS in the area before choosing Mays. At the end of the day I couldn't be happier with my decision. Now I know why he calls the OR an art studio.
Dr. Mays did my Mommy Makeover. I wasn’t an easy case. I have Crohn’s disease and an emergency surgery left a horrible scar down the middle of my abdomen and muscles put back together unevenly. Add in four pregnancies, it was hard to look at. Dr. Mays made me feel secure and safe. I knew I was in the absolute best hands. My surgery went perfect. I had a muscle repair, tummy tuck, and breast lift. I am so happy with my results. His work was flawless. The staff was so supportive and helped with the entire process. Anytime I had a question Dr. Mays himself was happy to respond and help with anything. I have sent/referred all of my friends and family to Mays Plastic Surgery. I wouldn’t trust anyone else. His work is truly amazing.
I had my 6 month post surgery follow up yesterday, and have been completely thrilled with Dr Mays and team every step of the way. I recommend Dr Mays with the highest endorsement and superlatives I can express. As a physician myself, I did a lot of comparison shopping when choosing my plastic surgeon for my breast lift and reduction surgery. It was not a decision I took lightly. Dr Mays possesses not just the highest technical skill, but also the artistry that makes his outcomes so outstanding. I feel amazing, and am over the moon pleased with my results. For the first time since the age of 13, I feel like my body is proportional, can actually button a shirt, and no longer have chronic upper back and neck pain. Dr Mays, and his whole team, answered every question, addressed each concern, and were super attentive throughout the entire process. I received the very best care and attention. If you are considering cosmetic surgery, I highly recommend Dr Mays and his wonderful team. They are the very best.
I had a breast lift and thigh lift in November, and overall I am very happy with my experience and results. From the initial consultation through surgery and follow-up care, I felt listened to and well cared for.While I did experience a couple of minor setbacks during recovery, they were handled promptly and professionally, and I was always supported and reassured throughout the healing process. Everything continues to heal nicely, and I feel confident that I was in good hands the entire time.
Mr Mays and his staff are literally world class. Every one of them is professional, personable and talented. Dr Mays is to the female body what Michaelangelo was to the male form. Dr Mays takes great joy and pride in his work.The first day I took off my abdominoplasty bandages, it took my breath away. I knew he was good but HOLY MOLY! Was NOT expecting the results that I was blessed with. My before and after pics (age 50-59, 5'6"-6', 150-199 lbs) are at the top of his tummy tuck gallery and it still blows me away. Tell me it's not incredible!He is not going to be on the lower end of the estimates you get, ladies, but the reason is obvious - he is THE BEST! PLEASE do NOT skimp on your surgeon. It's far too important!!! He is the only surgeon who will ever touch my body - mastopexy next!From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU, a-Mays-ing team! 💚💚💚
