Getting A Breast Lift in San Francisco
A Breast Lift in San Francisco (or Mastopexy) raises and reshapes sagging breasts.

About Breast Lift in San Francisco
A Breast Lift can reshape the breast tissue without the need for breast implants. There are different approaches that can be considered for a Breast Lift when it comes to incision placement and it will depend on what your doctor recommends. The simplest involves an incision around the areola and sometimes a vertical scar is also required. They are essentially variations of the same surgery that vary only in the amount of breast tissue that is actually removed. This operation takes approximately two to three hours. Recovery is about one week to resume normal activities and two to three weeks for more vigorous activities such as sports. The scars will gradually soften and fade with full maturation in about one year.
Breast Lift Recovery and Results
After your breast lift procedure is complete, your surgeon will apply dressings and bandages to the incision sites. An elastic bandage or support bra will need to be worn to minimize swelling and support your breasts as they heal. A small, thin tube may be temporarily placed under the skin to drain any excess blood or fluid that may collect after the breast lift. Be sure to ask your plastic surgeon specific questions about what you can expect during your individual mastopexy recovery period.
The end results of your breast lift procedure will appear within the next few months following surgery. Incision scars will fade over time and you will see an improvement in the way your breasts look and feel. The new positioning of the breasts will provide a youthful look and feel and your breast will be back to where they belong. Results of a breast lift are long-lasting and can be maintained for a very long time as long as you maintain your weight and keep a healthy lifestyle.
