A surgical breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a body contouring treatment that redefines the breasts by trimming away excess skin and tightening the healthy tissue to produce a more youthful appearance. This body reshaping surgery is reserved for women who have lost breast fullness and shape and who are experiencing breast sagging due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James Rough in Tucson, AZ offers this cosmetic surgery at James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery. By integrating the most state-of-the-art methods, he can choose the appropriate technique, depending on the level of sag present and your desired outcome.
A breast lift takes approximately 2 – 4 hours and is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia. The inverted-T technique, known as an anchor, and vertical incisions are the most used breast lift methods. After making the incision, any wrinkly and loose skin is removed along with fatty tissue. The skin is then pulled tight, and the breasts are raised so they appear perkier and younger. In most situations, the size of the areola is reconstructed and reduced to be symmetric with the new shape of the breast. After your procedure, you may need to wait 4 – 6 weeks to resume your normal activities.
If you are faced with sagging breasts that get in the way of everyday activities or prevent you from wearing the clothes you desire, a breast lift at James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery may be the right solution for you. When you have your first private one-on-one consultation with Dr. James Rough, your aesthetic concerns will be discussed so he can tailor a treatment plan to help transform your breasts.

Your total cost for breast augmentation will vary based on your choices and if you are having any other surgeries. Once your treatment plan is developed, Dr. Rough will talk to you about estimated costs and financing options. To make sure your results match your goals and last a long time, it's important to focus on quality over low costs.
Your treatment plan may include breast augmentation, a breast lift, or both. A breast lift removes loose skin and improves the position of the breasts, while augmentation enhance the size and shape. In your consultation with Dr. Rough, he will listen to your needs and goals before explaining your treatment options. An augmentation and lift are often a part of a mommy makeover to rejuvenate the breasts after breastfeeding and pregnancy.
If you want to breastfeed after breast augmentation, talk to Dr. Rough during your consultation. It is usually possible to breastfeed after augmentation surgery, with the right surgical technique and placement. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter your results, which is why it is better to wait until your family is complete to get breast augmentation.
