Breast Lift in Charleston, WV – Restore Youthful, Perky Breasts
Are you struggling with sagging or drooping breasts due to aging, pregnancy, or weight loss? A breast lift at Charleston Surgical Arts can restore your breasts to a firmer, more youthful position, helping you achieve a perkier and more confident look. Our expert plastic surgeon, Dr. Bali, specializes in advanced breast lift techniques to enhance breast shape and symmetry while maintaining a natural appearance.
What is a Breast Lift?
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that removes excess skin, tightens surrounding tissue, and repositions the breasts to a higher, more youthful position. Unlike breast augmentation, which increases size, a breast lift focuses on lifting and reshaping the breasts to create a more defined and youthful contour. This procedure is ideal for women who experience breast sagging due to:
• Aging – Loss of skin elasticity over time
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding – Changes in breast volume and firmness
• Weight Fluctuations – Loss of fat and skin laxity leading to sagging
• Genetics – Natural predisposition to lower breast position
Benefits of a Breast Lift
A breast lift surgery provides multiple benefits, including:
✔ Restores breast shape and firmness
✔ Elevates breasts to a more youthful position
✔ Reduces excess skin for a smoother contour
✔ Repositions and reshapes areolas for better proportion
✔ Creates a perkier and more symmetrical appearance
✔ Boosts confidence in clothing and swimwear
Breast Lift Surgical Procedure
A breast lift procedure at Charleston Surgical Arts typically takes 2 to 4 hours and is performed under intravenous anesthesia. Dr. Bali will choose the best incision technique based on breast size, degree of sagging, and skin quality:
• Anchor (Inverted-T) Incision – Ideal for moderate to severe sagging, providing the most dramatic lift.
• Vertical (Lollipop) Incision – Best for mild to moderate sagging, creating a natural shape with fewer scars.
Once the incisions are made, excess skin, tissue, and fat are carefully removed, and the remaining skin is tightened. Areola resizing may also be performed to ensure proportionate results.
Breast Lift Recovery & What to Expect
Recovery from breast lift surgery is longer compared to breast augmentation, but results are long-lasting. Here’s what to expect:
• First Week: Swelling and mild discomfort are common; a medical compression bra is worn to support healing.
• Draining Tubes: In some cases, small drainage tubes are placed near the incision sites to reduce fluid buildup.
• Healing Process: Swelling subsides within one week, with visible improvements within a few months.
• Final Results: Breasts will settle into their natural position and look perkier and more youthful after several months.
Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to optimize healing and enhance your results. We will also schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
