As women age, their breasts change by losing the shape and appearance they had when the women were young. Things such as pregnancy and breastfeeding, fluctuations in weight, and simple gravity all take their toll. One of the procedures available to reverse what time does to your breasts is the breast lift.

What a Breast Lift Does
A breast lift is also known as mastopexy. It raises and recontours sagging breasts that lose their elasticity and volume through various events as women age. The breast is lifted by removing and tightening excess skin and tissue, as well as repositioning the nipple. An implant may also be used along with the reshaping if you desire an increase in your breast size. By recontouring your breasts in this manner, Dr. Haupt is able to give you the size and shape of the breasts you desire, as well as enhance your figure’s profile.

Matopexy will not really change the size of the breast, unless you decide on the addition of implants, nor does it round out the upper part of the breast. Besides breast augmentation, breast reduction mayalso an option for this.

Candidates
Every woman is unique and has individual reasons for looking into the breast lift procedure, but you are a good candidate if:

• You do not smoke
• You are in generally good health and maintain a stable weight
• You have stretched skin or large areoloas
• Your breasts have an elongated or flatter shape, or are pendulous in appearance
• Your nipples fall below the crease of your breasts when unsupported
• You have realistic expectations

The breast lift can be done in an outpatient setting, and uses either general or local anesthetic. There will be swelling and discoloration, but this will subside in a few weeks. Scars will fade after about a year, but may not be noticeable due to the way your breasts are shaped after the procedure. You will be able to return to your normal routine after a few days, but strenuous activity and exercise should be put off for at least a month or until Dr. Haupt tells you it is okay.

If you feel that a breast lift is right for you and you are in the Logan, Ogden, Park City, Provo, Salt Lake City, or St. George, Utah area, please contact Dr. Haupt for an initial consultation.
