Before and after bilateral breast lift in a 42 year old woman. Her breasts had deflated and sagged tremendously after having children and breastfeeding. She didn’t want implants, just to have the look that she created with her bra.
A mastopexy reshaped her breasts, rearranging the tissue so it lay above the breast fold in a more compact and perkier shape.
Follow up photos are shown 7 months after surgery. Her scars are maturing nicely and she no longer needs to wear a bra to get a lifted look!
The final image shows intraoperative details of surgery after one breast is lifted. It looks like an implant was inserted, but that is just her breast tissue that is back where it should be, inside the breast pocket!
The ugly puckers and pleats under the breast seen immediately after surgery take at least 6 weeks to flatten. By performing this “pursestring suture” closure of the fold under the breast, the inframammary fold incision is shortened by half.
