Revitalize Your Contours

Aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and gravity can all take a toll on your breasts, causing them to sag and lose their youthful shape. At Fulcrum Aesthetics in Chicago, we understand how these changes can impact your self-esteem. A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a highly effective procedure that can rejuvenate your breasts by lifting and reshaping them, giving you a more youthful and uplifted contour. Our experienced team is committed to helping you achieve your desired look, ensuring comfort and satisfaction throughout your journey.

What Is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift is a surgical procedure designed to raise and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue. This procedure can also reduce the size of the areolas if they have become enlarged over time. Unlike breast augmentation, a breast lift does not significantly change the size of your breasts but focuses on enhancing their shape and position for a more youthful appearance.

What to Expect: The Breast Lift Procedure

The breast lift procedure at Fulcrum Aesthetics typically takes two to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Here’s what you can expect during this process:

  1. Consultation: Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to discuss your goals and assess your breast tissue.
  2. Preparation: On the day of surgery, your skin will be cleansed, and anesthesia will be administered to ensure your comfort.
  3. Incisions: Dr. Hill will make incisions based on the predetermined surgical plan, which may include a circular pattern around the areola, a vertical line from the areola to the breast crease, and a horizontal line along the breast crease.
  4. Reshaping and Lifting: Excess skin is removed, and the remaining breast tissue is lifted and reshaped to achieve the desired contour. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a more youthful height.
  5. Completion: Once the desired shape is achieved, the incisions are closed with sutures, and you will be monitored during your initial recovery period.

Breast Lift Recovery & Results

Recovery from a breast lift requires some downtime, but most patients find it manageable. You can expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort in the initial days following surgery, which can be controlled with prescribed medications. It’s important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks to allow your body to heal properly.

Results from a breast lift are visible immediately, with the final shape settling over the next few months as swelling subsides. The outcome is a more youthful, uplifted breast contour that can significantly enhance your overall appearance and confidence. Maintaining a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle will help preserve your results for many years.
