Welcome to the practice of Dr. Saad Alsubaie, your trusted double board-certified plastic surgeon. We understand that considering a breast lift procedure is a significant decision, and we are here to provide you with detailed information to help you make an informed choice.

What is a Breast Lift?

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and firm the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour. This procedure addresses sagging and uneven breasts, drooping nipples, and stretched areolas, giving you a more youthful and lifted appearance.

Benefits of a Breast Lift

  • Enhanced Appearance: Achieves a more youthful and perky breast shape.
  • Restored Breast Contour: Corrects sagging and uneven breasts.
  • Improved Nipple Position: Repositions drooping nipples for a more natural look.
  • Boosted Confidence: Enhances self-esteem and body image.

Who is a Good Candidate?

You may be a good candidate for a breast lift if you:

  • Are bothered by sagging or drooping breasts.
  • Have stretched skin and enlarged areolas.
  • Are in good overall health and maintain a stable weight.
  • Do not smoke, as smoking can affect the healing process.
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.

The Consultation Process

During your consultation with Dr. Saad Alsubaie, we will:

  • Discuss your medical history and any previous surgeries.
  • Evaluate your breast size, shape, and skin elasticity.
  • Understand your goals and expectations for the surgery.
  • Explain the procedure in detail, including the techniques we will use and what to expect during recovery.
  • Address any questions or concerns you may have.

The Procedure

  1. Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
  2. Incision Options: There are several incision techniques, including:
    • Around the areola.
    • Vertically from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease.
    • Horizontally along the breast crease.
  3. Reshaping and Lifting: Excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is lifted and reshaped. The nipple and areola are repositioned to a higher, more youthful location.
  4. Closing Incisions: Sutures, skin adhesives, or surgical tape are used to close the incisions, ensuring minimal scarring.

Recovery and Aftercare

  • Initial Recovery: You will be monitored in our facility before being discharged with detailed aftercare instructions.
  • Pain Management: Mild discomfort and swelling are common, managed with prescribed medications.
  • Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities for at least four to six weeks.
  • Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ups with Dr. Alsubaie to monitor your healing process.
  • Scarring: Scars will fade over time but can be minimized with proper care and sun protection.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgery, a breast lift comes with potential risks, including:

  • Infection
  • Scarring
  • Changes in nipple or breast sensation
  • Asymmetry
  • Difficulty breastfeeding

Dr. Alsubaie will discuss these risks in detail during your consultation to ensure you are fully informed.
