Mastopexy (Breast Lift)

With normal age, the affects of gravity, pregnancy and childbirth, the breast shape and position is altered. The fullness seen in the upper portion of the breast is lost and replaced by indentations or hollowed areas. The nipples and areola (pigmented portion) also change position and may point downward. Usually, the nipples were not facing in the same direction prior to their downward drift. This is important because after the mastopexy (uplifting), they will be closer in position and shape but will never be identical. No two breasts are ever perfectly the same either before or after surgery.

The surgery is performed under light general anesthesia.  Dr. Rosenthal positions the scars at the base of the breast so that they are barely detectable.  He specifically uses breast implants that are shaped like the female breast, so they look natural.  Implants are placed partially below the chest muscle to support the implant and to allow easier evaluation when mammograms are taken.

Objective:

To achieve a more flattering, better proportioned figure using anatomically-shaped breast implants.  This often results in both a physical and psychological boost.
