Breast Lift

Breast lift or Mastopexy surgery, or mastopexy, restores a more youthful appearance to a woman’s breasts. Over the years breasts can lose their shape and firmness due to pregnancy, nursing, weight loss and loss of skin elasticity, causing them to sag. Mastopexy will raise and re-shape breasts – slowing the effects of aging and gravity. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areola, the darker skin surrounding the nipple.

Breast Lift or Mastopexy can be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation although the use of an implant does add stress to the incision site which may result in wound break down.  Dr. Nyte prefers to do the lift first then place the implant in 3-6 months to ensure good healing of the skin first. 

Dr. Nyte usually places a vertical or "lollipop" type incision on the breast instead of the traditional "anchor" shape.   

Breast lift may appeal to women who have lost breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss surgery like the Lap Band Procedure. Check out the Lap Band Forum and see what people are saying about Dr. Nyte.
