Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, time and gravity can cause round, youthful breasts to sag, droop, and lose their shape. A breast lift with or without implants in Chicago from Dr. Sammy Sinno or Dr. Thomas Mustoe, who has performed over 1,000 breast lifts, can restore the youthful shape and feel of the breasts, and may improve confidence and self-image as well.

Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is performed to lift, firm and reshape breasts that sag or droop due to age, motherhood, heredity, or weight changes. During the procedure, your surgeon:
In some cases, breast lift surgery can also correct breast asymmetry, reduce enlarged nipples, or remove stretch marks from the breasts. The procedure is a good option for healthy women at a stable weight who are happy with the size of their breasts, but would like to improve shape and position. It can also be combined with other body contouring procedures after massive weight loss, such as an arm lift or thigh lift.
Many patients benefit from combining a breast lift with breast augmentation, not only to increase size, but also for optimization of shape without a change in size. As the breasts drop and respond to changes in weight or after pregnancy, the upper portion of the breasts can lose volume, which cannot always be corrected by the breast lift procedure alone. It is then appropriate to place a small implant to optimize shape without necessarily changing the breast size significantly. Dr. Mustoe or Dr. Sinno can also add fullness to the upper breast using fat transfer, if the patient does not want implants.
For patients who desire smaller, lifted breasts, breast reduction may be the right choice.

Instead of general anesthesia, our surgeons typically use local anesthesia with sedation, which generally results in less bruising and bleeding and a faster recovery for their mastopexy patients.

They are generally able to return to light activities and work within just a few days.
