Breast Lift (Mastopexy) Fort Lauderdale

What is a breast lift?

Confidence, restored

Gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, and aging all pull the breasts out of their original position. A breast lift (mastopexy) addresses those changes and restores both form and confidence.

Breast sagging (ptosis) can also result in poor nipple placement or enlarged areolas. That goes well past how clothes fit; it changes how a woman feels in her own skin. Breast lift surgery restores a more youthful position and shape that complements your physique.

Dr. Palladino may perform a breast lift alone or combine it with breast augmentation or breast reduction to achieve the most harmonious outcome. Your candidacy, your options, and your personalised plan are determined during a one-on-one consultation.

All surgery carries risks; individual results vary. Suitability is assessed at consultation with Dr. Palladino.

Breast lift surgical options

Incision techniques, tailored to you

One of several surgical techniques will be selected based on your unique anatomy and desired extent of correction. Dr. Palladino will guide you to the approach best suited to your goals.

Donut (Periareolar) Technique

For minimal correction

Incision placed around the edges of the areolas only
Ideal for patients with mild to moderate sagging
Minimal scarring, concealed along the areolar border
Can also reduce areola size if desired
Performed at an accredited outpatient surgical facility
General anesthesia for a safe, comfortable experience

Anchor (Inverted-T) Technique

For moderate to severe cases

Incision encircles the areola, continues vertically down the breast, and follows the inframammary fold
Reserved for patients requiring more significant reshaping or repositioning
Allows the most precise control over breast shape and nipple placement
The nipple-areolar complex may be repositioned as needed
Performed at an accredited outpatient surgical facility
General anesthesia for a safe, comfortable experience

Enhancing your results

Breast lift combined with augmentation or reduction

For many patients, a lift is only part of the picture. Dr. Palladino may recommend combining it with augmentation or reduction for a result that sits in proportion.

Breast Lift + Augmentation

Women with minimal existing breast tissue may feel that their breast size has diminished after a breast lift. Combining the procedure with breast augmentation can restore volume and deliver a more voluptuous contour. Dr. Palladino may recommend this approach when he believes it will achieve the best possible outcome for your specific anatomy.

Breast Augmentation

Breast Lift + Reduction

Patients with large, pendulous breasts can benefit from combining a breast lift with breast reduction surgery. Removing excess tissue creates breasts that are more proportionate to the body and easier to manage, while the lift restores a more youthful position and shape at the same time.

Your care with Dr. Palladino

Preparing for your surgery

To avoid postoperative complications, you must quit smoking and all tobacco use at least six weeks before your scheduled surgery. Eight hours before your procedure, refrain from eating or drinking.

On the day of your surgery, wear a loose-fitting shirt that opens in the front; dressing afterward is far more comfortable that way. Upon your arrival, you will be led to the pre-operative suite where Dr. Palladino will prepare you for surgery and place the necessary markings and guidelines on the treatment area.

A friend or relative should accompany you to the surgery center and remain available to bring you home when you are ready to be discharged. Please arrange this in advance of your scheduled date.
