Breast Lift in Northern Virginia

Located in Leesburg, VA

A breast lift, also called Mastopexy, is a cosmetic surgery for restoring a more attractive look to the breasts by lifting them. This popular surgery is best suited for women with ptotic or lower-hanging breasts. Breast lifts can also reduce the size of enlarged areolas or the dark area around the nipple. In addition, this surgery is an excellent opportunity to remove excess skin on the breasts, tighten tissue to reduce breast sagging, lift the nipple into a more youthful position, and, when combined with a breast augmentation, increase the size of the breasts.

If you are unhappy with your breasts, a breast lift with renowned surgeon Dr. Tajkarimi of Better Body MD may be the best solution. Call (703) 337-3353 to schedule a consultation where you can learn everything you need to know about this breast surgery, how it can enhance your physique, boost your self-esteem, and improve your quality of life.

Our patients reap many benefits from this surgical procedure:

Understanding the Breast Lift Procedure

What is a breast lift? This specialized cosmetic surgery is known as Mastopexy. It is a surgical procedure for lifting sagging or drooping breasts. The surgery involves the removal and/or adjustment of extra breast skin and tissue to provide perkier, raised, and more youthful breasts. There are several different reasons someone may be dealing with saggy breasts. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, genetics, and weight loss all contribute to sagging or drooping breasts.

Unlike a breast augmentation, a breast lift does not alter the size of the breasts—instead, it lifts and repositions the breasts. This surgery is often an excellent solution for women who are satisfied with the size of their breasts but do not like the position or firmness. If you are someone who would like to alter the breast size in addition to reducing sagging, you should consider a breast lift with implants.

What to Expect During a Breast Lift

The exact techniques used during a breast lift or mastopexy will vary depending on different factors, including the size and shape of the breasts, the severity of the sagging, the condition of the skin, and the size and position of the areolas. Dr. Tajkarimi will meet with you before surgery to discuss your aesthetic goals and what you want to experience after your breast lift surgery. Using this, Dr. Tajkarimi will use the best technique for your breasts.

Breast lift surgery is an outpatient or same-day procedure. After you arrive at our facility, you will be placed under general anesthesia. Dr. Tajkarimi will then make incisions, as discussed during your consultation. These incisions may include:

After the incisions are made, the underlying breast tissue is lifted and reshaped. This enhances your breast contour and projection. Next, the areola and nipples are lifted into a more youthful, pert position. Following this, the excess breast tissue is removed, and enlarged areolas are reduced if needed. After this, the incisions are closed, and a dressing is placed over the chest.

After your surgery, your breasts will go through a healing period where they “settle.” This process can take a few months. You should begin to notice a change in your breast shape once they fully settle. Swelling and scars will continue to fade for 6 to 12 months.

Breast lift surgery restores a more youthful appearance to the breasts by lifting them, removing sagging or excess skin, and changing the nipple shape and placement. Still, it cannot stop the natural progression of aging. As you age, your skin and tissue will continue to lose elasticity, and sagging may reoccur.

Breast Lift with Implants

Better Body MD provides a variety of cosmetic surgery options. In addition to a breast lift, you can also receive a breast lift with implants. This surgery achieves the same thing a regular breast lift does, with the addition of implants to increase the size of the breasts.

Our team works closely with you to customize the perfect implants to suit and fit your body while also achieving your desired look.

Breast Lift Recovery and Aftercare

After your breast lift, you will recover at home with dressings and bandages applied to the incisions. You will need to wear an elastic bandage or support bra to reduce swelling and support the breasts as they heal. In addition, you may have a small, thin tube temporarily placed under your skin to drain excess blood or fluid.

After your breast lift at Better Body MD, you will receive detailed breast lift recovery and aftercare instructions.

Breast Lift Cost in Northern Virginia

According to recent statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average breast lift cost is typically around $5k. The average cost is only part of the price tag you can expect for a breast lift. Additional things such as anesthesia fees, surgical facility costs, medical texts, post-surgery garments, medications, etc., can make that price higher. When you schedule a breast lift consultation with Dr. Tajkarimi at Better Body MD, you can discuss the cost of your breast procedure and the available payment plans or financing options.

Breast Lift FAQs

Breast lift surgery is a very personalized cosmetic procedure. It is generally suitable for anyone. You may be a good candidate for breast lift surgery if:

  • You are physically healthy and maintain a stable weight
  • You do not smoke
  • You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts sag or have lost shape and volume.
  • Your breasts have a flatter, elongated shape or are pendulous
  • When unsupported, your nipples fall below the breast crease
  • Your nipples and areolas point downward
  • You have stretched skin and enlarged areolas
  • One breast is lower than the other

Typically, you can expect to lose one cup size after a breast lift. However, this is sometimes not because of the volume loss, and instead, when the extra skin and sagging tissue are removed or repositioned, cup sizes are naturally reduced.

Breast lifts can sometimes make the breasts appear smaller with the reduction of sagging tissue and skin. However, there is usually not a significant amount of breast tissue removed during the procedure. Instead, the surgery is to reshape and reposition the breast.

Breast lift surgery is usually considered cosmetic surgery, meaning medical insurance will not cover it.

Yes. It is impossible to avoid scars from a surgical incision being made on the body. There will be some extent of scarring on the breasts, but they will not be incredibly visible.

There is no best age for a breast lift. Once you are an adult, your breasts are fully developed so that you can consider breast lift surgery at any time. Most people in their 50s and 70s who are in good health and medical standing can also have a great experience with a breast lift. During your consultation, you can speak more about this concern.
