Breast Lift
Mastopexy, commonly known as a breast lift, is a surgical procedure designed to raise and reshape sagging breasts. It involves removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to improve breast contour and elevate nipple position. Mastopexy does not significantly change breast size, but it can enhance firmness and restore a more youthful appearance to the breasts. This procedure is often sought after by individuals experiencing drooping or sagging due to factors like pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging.
With a meticulous approach, Dr Langbart combines advanced surgical techniques to achieve natural-looking results, tailored to each patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. His practice emphasizes patient care and safety, ensuring comprehensive pre-operative consultations and personalized post-operative care.
What is the recovery like after a mastopexy?
Recovery varies but generally involves temporary discomfort, swelling, and bruising, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few weeks.
Are there risks associated with mastopexy?
Risks include potential complications such as infection, changes in nipple sensation, and scarring, which vary depending on the surgical technique used and individual factors. During your consultation with Dr Langbart he will discuss the full range of generalised and specific risks.
Is mastopexy covered by health insurance?
Medicare and health insurance only cover mastopexy surgery when deemed medically necessary and specific criteria are met. Following your consultation, Dr Langbart will evaluate and discuss whether you meet the requirements for coverage under Medicare or your health insurance plan.
How long do the results of mastopexy surgery last?
Results are generally long lasting, though weight fluctuations, aging, and hormonal changes can affect breast size over time.
