BREAST LIFT. MASTOPEXY
Mansfield. Arlington. Fort Worth. Dallas. TX

The goal of a breast lift or mastopexy at Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center is to reposition or “lift” sagging breasts, as they most commonly result from the effects of pregnancy, breast-feeding, and weight loss.  The end result of these conditions cause the breasts to temporarily enlarge, thus stretching out the breast skin envelope and impairing its ability to support the underlying breast tissue. 

Flaccid breast skin with loss of elasticity is unable to support the weight of the breast.  This condition is termed breast ptosis and can be classified as either first-degree, second-degree, third-degree or pseudoptosis, based upon the position of the nipple-areolar complex relative to the underside breast crease or inframammary fold.  During your private consultation at Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center, your degree of breast ptosis will be carefully analyzed and you will collectively share in the decision making process about your personal needs, desires, and expectations.

Incisions for this procedure are placed around the dark skin of your areola or along the underside breast crease.  However, Dr. Michael Thornton provides every effort to minimize the size of your scars and to make them as inconspicuous as possible. During the breast lift procedure, excess skin is removed and rearranged to tighten the flaccid skin envelope to provide restorative support to the underlying breast tissue.  The nipple-areola complex is elevated to a natural position, thus restoring your breasts to a more youthful appearance, with more fullness and projection.  A breast lift is often done in combination with breast augmentation in order to achieve the most desirable effect.

Healing is a gradual process and it may take several weeks before you begin to see the new you. After healing, our clients are very pleased with the results of their breast lift procedure.

Consultations for cosmetic breast surgery, including breast augmentation, breast lift, breast reduction and breast revision are complimentary at Mansfield Cosmetic Surgery Center. For more information or to make an appointment, please visit the Contact Us page or call us at 817-477-9000.
