Breast Lift

Imagine waking up every day, looking in the mirror, and loving the way you look. A breast lift is more than just a physical transformation; it’s about restoring the youthful shape and position of your breasts, helping you feel confident and empowered. Women in Houston, TX, turn to board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rolando Morales for breast lifts with stunning, lasting results.

Benefits of This Procedure

Breast lift, also known as Mastopexy, is a surgical procedure aimed at lifting and reshaping sagging breasts. This procedure typically involves removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to support and reshape the new breast contour.

A breast lift can help your breasts look more proportionate to the rest of your body. It is an effective solution for balancing out breasts that have lost their shape and firmness, giving you a symmetrical, harmonious appearance.

Life changes like weight loss, pregnancy, breastfeeding, and aging can affect the fullness and shape of your breasts. A breast lift can restore that youthful contour and firmness, helping you feel confident and beautiful.

Dr. Morales is also skilled in performing breast lifts for reconstructive purposes. Whether you've undergone a significant weight loss or have a congenital breast deformity, this procedure can help lift and enhance your breasts, restoring your natural beauty and confidence.

How Breast Lifts Work

A breast lift, or mastopexy, involves removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to raise and reshape sagging breasts. This procedure addresses issues like drooping, asymmetry, and loss of firmness, resulting in a more youthful and elevated breast contour.

Breast lifts are ideal for women looking to restore the natural youthfulness of their breasts without adding volume. This procedure provides a very natural look and feel, making it a great option for those with sufficient natural breast tissue. It enhances the breasts by making them firmer, perkier, and more youthful in appearance.

The Procedure

The process begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Morales to discuss your goals, assess your breast anatomy, and determine the best surgical approach. He will thoroughly explain the various incision patterns and techniques, helping you choose the option that best suits your needs.

Recovery and Results

After the procedure, you will be monitored in a recovery area. Your breasts will be bandaged, and you may be provided with a surgical bra to support the healing process. It’s normal to experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication.

Most patients can return home the same day, but you will need to arrange for someone to drive you. Recovery time varies, but many patients can resume light activities within a few days and return to work within a week or two. Strenuous activities and heavy lifting should be avoided for about four to six weeks.

As the swelling subsides, you will begin to see the full benefits of your breast lift. Your breasts will appear firmer, more uplifted, and youthful. The results are long-lasting, though the natural aging process will continue. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle can help preserve the results for many years.
