Over time, changes in your body contours due to aging, pregnancy, and weight fluctuations can lead to breast ptosis, or sagging, which impacts your breasts’ natural shape and position. If you live in Mansfield and want to restore their youthful appearance, a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy, offers an effective solution. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew H. Steele can perform breast lifts that correct sagging and reshape your breasts to enhance your overall body proportion and boost your confidence. If you are considering additional fullness, Dr. Steele can even combine a breast lift with a breast augmentation for improved upper pole fullness and volume.
A breast lift elevates and reshapes your breast tissue to give you a more youthful breast shape. When Mansfield patients undergo a breast lift, Dr. Steele will remove excess skin and tighten the surrounding tissue, creating a more lifted and contoured shape. If you are seeking lift and added volume, he can carefully place silicone implants to enhance your breasts’ fullness. Dr. Steele will customize your procedure to match your anatomy and aesthetic goals, so the results of your breast surgery will feel natural and transformative – and most importantly: catered to you.
As with any implant-based procedure, a breast lift with augmentation produces long-lasting results, though Dr. Steele cautions that revision surgery is common after 10-20 years. Reasons for revision surgery include bottoming out, implant malposition, implant rupture, and implant encapsulation.
A mastopexy is ideal if your breasts are sagging and you desire a more youthful breast position. To be an appropriate candidate for a mastopexy in Mansfield, you should be healthy, have realistic expectations, and want to address your concerns about your breasts’ sagging or shape without significantly adjusting their size (unless you wish to include an augmentation). During a personalized consultation, Dr. Steele will discuss every aspect of the procedure and make sure you feel well-informed and confident about your decision to pursue cosmetic surgery.
If you already have implants and are experiencing capsular contracture—a condition where scar tissue tightens around the implant, causing pain or discomfort—Dr. Steele can recommend effective treatment options including an implant exchange or removal, often in combination with a breast lift.
Dr. Steele will perform your mastopexy with precision, minimizing scars while achieving a natural result. Ahead of the procedure, we will provide detailed post-surgery care instructions, which will help promote your recovery. Initially, you will notice some swelling and possible bruising which will resolve with time resulting in your final shape.
