A Breast Lift (Mastopexy) treatment in Tampa by Dr. Polecritti is a commonly performed procedure used to reshape and lift the breast into a more youthful position. As women age, the amount of breast tissue gradually decreases and the amount of breast fat increases. Many times there is a net loss of breast tissue and the breast begins to sag and look droopy. This change is typically a gradual one but can be more noticeable in some women shortly after pregnancy.
A breast lift can be a complex procedure. There are many techniques available to achieve symmetry and a more youthful look. A well known plastic surgeon in Tampa, Florida Dr. Polecritti will discuss each of these with you during your consultation in order to determine which technique will give you the best result. In some cases an “anchor” shaped incision will be used. The incision encircles the areola, runs vertically down the front of the breast and then extends to each side hidden within the breast crease. These incisions allow adequate skin and breast tissue to be trimmed and removed reshaping the breasts and positioning them to a higher more youthful position. In many cases, the areola stretches and loses its youthful perky shape. Using these incisions, the areola can be resized, lifted, and repositioned to give a more youthful shape and appearance. Some women who have a lesser degree of sagging or “ptosis” may be candidates for other breast lift techniques which requires an incision just around the areola.
Many of the scars are placed in inconspicuous areas around the areola and along the breasts crease. However, some of the scars may be on visible areas of the breast and an understanding of this should be discussed during your consultation. If you have problematic scars, the use of topical silicone and or laser treatment can be an effective treatment.
