Breast Lift – Cape Cod, Needham, Wareham

Mastopexy (a breast lift operation) in Cape Cod with board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rheingold is a surgical procedure to reshape sagging breasts. Some women may have noticed that their breasts have sagged due to loss of skin elasticity. Time, gravity, weight loss, pregnancy, or breast-feeding can negatively affect the position and shape of breasts, leading many women to desire a breast lift (mastopexy) from Cape Cod plastic surgeon Dr. Rheingold.

Drooping or sagging breasts tend to worsen over time, especially as skin tissue loses its elasticity. Mastopexy or breast lift surgery in Cape Cod, MA, with Dr. Rheingold is designed to restore breasts to their former appearance. At the same time, the breasts can be made larger in size through breast augmentation. However, women may seek a breast lift from Dr. Rheingold even if satisfied with their breast size. A breast lift can provide a raised, more youthful breast contour.

Dr. Rheingold performs breast lifts in Cape Cod first by reducing the size of the nipple/areola complex and then by repositioning the nipple complex to a higher position on the breast mound. Dr. Rheingold removes excess skin and lifts the breast mound to a slightly higher position on the chest wall. Board certified Cape Cod plastic surgeon Dr. Rheingold makes incisions on the breast skin so that the resultant scars are as inconspicuous as possible.

If a woman also wants an increase in breast size, then Dr. Rheingold will place a breast implant beneath the breast tissue at the same time. Combining procedures saves money and recovery time. Healing after a mastopexy takes about 10 to 14 days, after which most patients can resume normal activities.
