Facial Plastic Surgeon in Jupiter, FL
At Bafitis Plastic Surgery in Jupiter, Florida, we understand that your body changes over time. Weight fluctuations, the natural aging process, genetics and pregnancy can all affect the appearance of your breasts, causing them to lose their youthful appearance and firmness. A breast lift procedure with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Harold Bafitis can help restore the natural breast contour and position of your breasts, rejuvenating your figure and boosting your self-confidence. Dr. Bafitis brings decades of experience and a meticulous approach to each breast lift procedure, creating natural-looking results tailored to your unique anatomy and aesthetic goals. Our plastic surgery patients from Jupiter, Palm Beach, and surrounding communities trust Dr. Bafitis for his exceptional surgical skills and compassionate care throughout their transformation journey.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to elevate and reshape sagging breasts (ptosis) by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding breast tissue. Unlike breast augmentation, which increases breast size using breast implants, a breast lift focuses on repositioning existing breast tissue to create a more youthful and aesthetically pleasing breast profile. During a breast lift procedure, Dr. Bafitis carefully reshapes your breast tissue, raises the nipple and areola to a more forward position, and removes excess skin to create a firmer, more uplifted appearance. The result is perkier, more youthful-looking breasts with improved proportion and symmetry. Many women choose to combine a breast lift with breast augmentation or reduction procedures to achieve their desired breast size along with improved positioning.
The crescent lift is the least invasive type, ideal for patients with minimal sagging. It involves removing a small crescent-shaped piece of skin above the areola. This technique creates subtle lifting with minimal scarring and is often combined with breast augmentation for women who need only slight elevation of the nipple position.
This technique involves removing a donut-shaped area of skin around the areola. The donut lift is suitable for women with mild to moderate sagging and provides more lifting than the crescent technique while keeping scarring confined to the area around the areola. This approach can also reduce areola size if desired.
The lollipop lift, named for its resulting scar pattern, combines a circular incision around the areola with a vertical incision from the bottom of the areola to the breast crease. This technique allows for more significant reshaping and is appropriate for women with moderate sagging who need more extensive tissue reorganization.
Dr. Bafitis will evaluate your breast tissue, breast skin elasticity, and discuss your goals to create a customized surgical plan. This includes determining the appropriate incision pattern based on the degree of sagging and desired outcome. Your medical history will be thoroughly reviewed to ensure you’re an ideal candidate for breast lift surgery.
Combining a breast lift with breast augmentation allows for comprehensive enhancement that addresses both breast position and volume in a single procedure. This combination approach creates more upper pole fullness and improved projection than a lift alone while requiring only one recovery period. The procedure involves performing the lift to remove excess skin, creating a pocket for the implant, inserting the selected implants, and finalizing the contours for natural-looking results.
Understanding the breast lift recovery process helps set realistic expectations for your healing journey. While everyone’s experience is unique, here’s a general timeline of what to expect after your breast lift procedure:
You’ll wear a surgical bra for support and to minimize swelling while managing discomfort with prescribed pain medication. Most patients can return to desk jobs and light activities by the end of the first week, though arm movements should remain limited and assistance at home is recommended. Sutures may be removed if non-dissolving types were used, and you’ll begin to notice initial swelling and bruising starting to subside.
By this stage, you can gradually return to more vigorous activities and exercise as Dr. Bafitis approves them during your follow-up visits. Most swelling will have resolved, though some residual swelling may persist, and you’ll notice scars beginning to fade from red to pink as your final breast shape emerges. Your breast contour will continue to refine as tissues settle, and you’ll be able to enjoy most normal activities without restrictions.
During your consultation, Dr. Bafitis will evaluate your health history and breast anatomy to determine if a breast lift is appropriate for your situation.
