Techniques named for breast lift: Periareolar mastopexy.
A breast augmentation alone will not be able to correct significantly drooping or sagging breasts. In these circumstances the combination of a breast lift with or without implants may be needed to restore shape, position and volume.
Vancouver breast lift surgery with augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and is considered an outpatient procedure.
Dr. Pugash performs breast lift surgery with the patient under general anesthesia; local anesthesia may be used according to patient preference. Depending on the extent of breast reshaping needed, this procedure takes about two hours and is performed on an outpatient basis.
A breast lift surgery in Vancouver is usually done with general anesthesia so that you stay comfortable the whole time.
Mastopexy surgery can take up to 2 hours to be performed and you will likely be under general anaesthetic.
A mastopexy can be performed either on its own or in combination with a breast augmentation (using implants)
With breast implants and a breast lift, you will still need to have your regular mammogram to screen for breast cancer, but let your technician know ahead of time as the screening may need to be altered.
Some women choose to combine their breast lift with augmentation. Doing both surgeries at the same time provides better shape and fullness, and eliminates the need for two separate procedures and recovery periods.
A mastopexy Vancouver generally takes two to three hours to complete.
Following breast lift surgery, you will likely remain in hospital overnight. The breasts will be swollen, and tender following the surgery and will remain swollen during the first few weeks of recovery.
Breast lift surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure at our private surgical facility.
a breast lift can be combined with breast augmentation using implants
Dr. Lennox is skilled in several techniques for his breast lift patients. He will discuss which technique is best for you based on the extent of the sagging. Often, a breast lift requires 3 incisions (see illustration):
Many patients benefit from combining abdominoplasty with liposuction to remove areas of stubborn fat. Oftentimes, moms who opt to have a tummy tuck combine it with complementary procedures such as breast augmentation and breast lift .
Breast reduction can be performed in conjunction with a breast lift to enhance breast shape and projection. Liposuction may also be added to contour around the chest and underarms.
To enhance both shape and volume, a breast lift is often combined with breast augmentation using implants or fat transfer.
Mastopexy or "breast lift" is performed to re-shape a breast that has descended ( ptosis ) due to age, weight loss or post-pregnancy changes.
The periareolar mastopexy is used in patients in whom the nipples are just below the inframammary fold . This places a scar around the areola.
Breast Lift generally runs CAD$9,520–CAD$19,040 per procedure, and each Vancouver clinic sets its own price. The biggest variables are the provider's experience level and the specific device or product used. Newer technology and senior injectors price at the upper end. Pricing is quoted in Canadian dollars (CAD). Request a consultation from any of our listed Vancouver clinics for a personalized quote.
Results vary by patient, but most Vancouver providers report 6–18 months of sustained benefit from a full Breast Lift series.
Maintenance schedules vary. Most Vancouver providers recommend periodic refresh sessions every 6–12 months once optimal results are achieved.
The simplest test is where your nipple sits relative to the fold beneath your breast. If it sits at or below that fold, a lift is what repositions it, and implants alone will not fix that. If your breasts sit high enough but have lost fullness at the top, implants restore that volume. Many patients want both, which is a combined augmentation with mastopexy, a longer operation with a slightly higher revision rate but a single recovery.
Scars depend on how much lifting is needed. A minor lift may need only a scar around the areola. Moderate lifting adds a vertical line from the areola to the fold, called a lollipop. Significant lifting adds a horizontal scar along the fold, called an anchor. Scars are permanent, red for several months, and typically fade to pale lines over one to two years. Any surgeon offering a significant lift with no scars is describing something else.
Most patients hold results for ten years or more, but skin continues aging and gravity does not stop. Weight fluctuation and subsequent pregnancy are the two things that most reliably undo a lift, which is why surgeons generally advise finishing childbearing first. Wearing good support and maintaining stable weight extends the result meaningfully.
Many patients can, though a lift carries somewhat more risk to milk ducts and nipple sensation than augmentation does, because the nipple is repositioned. If future breastfeeding matters to you, say so clearly at consultation, since technique choices can preserve more of the ductal system. And if you plan to have children soon, waiting is generally the better decision anyway.
Almost never as a cosmetic lift. Breast reduction, which removes tissue as well as lifting, is sometimes covered when documented neck, back, or shoulder symptoms meet a carrier's criteria. If you have both sagging and significant volume causing physical symptoms, ask the surgeon's office to explore reduction coverage rather than assuming the whole thing is out of pocket.
