An Improved Silhouette
Breast Lift Fairfield County
One of the inevitable effects of aging is loss of elasticity in the skin. For women, this becomes especially evident in their breasts, which can become droopy and lose their shape. A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, improves the appearance of the breast by restoring its shape, tightening the skin in that area, and, of course, lifting the breast. Dr. Passaretti performs breast lift surgery at his Fairfield County, Connecticut practice. This cosmetic surgery procedure can completely transform a woman’s silhouette, helping her look younger and feel more confident.

Breast Lift Candidates
Breast lift surgery can be performed to improve the appearance of sagging skin for patients who are showing the effects of aging, have recently lost a significant amount of weight, or whose breasts have lost their shape after pregnancy. Patients who are considering breast lift surgery should be over the age of 18 and in good health. It is recommended that women have the surgery only after they are done having kids, as pregnancy can cause the skin to stretch and diminish the results. In addition, patients who plan to lose a significant amount of weight should hold off undergoing the procedure until they have completed their weight loss. Finally, as with all cosmetic surgeries, it is important for patients to have realistic expectations of the results they can achieve with breast lift surgery. Although the procedure is effective for most women, women with smaller breasts tend to experience the most ideal results. Dr. Passaretti works with each patient to establish realistic goals and the most effective course of treatment possible.
The Breast Lift Procedure
There are several methods for performing breast lift surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Passaretti will evaluate your unique needs to determine which method is best suited to your case. Each of these techniques requires anesthesia, and full recovery typically takes a few weeks, although the reduction of scarring may take longer.
Standard Breast Lift Surgery
Standard breast lift surgery, also referred to as the anchor technique, is the most common method of breast lift surgery. During this procedure, Dr. Passaretti makes three incisions on the breast, and lifts the areola and nipple. He then trims excess skin and closes the incisions to complete this procedure. While standard breast lift surgery leaves permanent scarring, it also significantly improves the appearance of the breast.
Doughnut Mastopexy
Doughnut mastopexy requires fewer incisions than the standard breast lift and is effective for women who have smaller breasts. By making the incision on the areola, rather than under the breast, Dr. Passaretti is able to reduce the appearance of scars.
Laser Breast Lift
The laser breast lift technique uses the patient’s excess skin to support the breast. During this procedure, Dr. Passaretti removes skin using a laser, and then attaches it to the chest wall to provide support for the breast. This is a long-lasting alternative to other techniques and is effective for women of all breast sizes.
The Benefits of Breast Lift Surgery
The main benefit of breast lift surgery is that it can drastically improve the appearance of droopy, sagging breasts. Women who have experienced changes in their breasts due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging now have an option for restoring the look of their breasts. By lifting the breast and improving its shape, breast lift surgery also helps women appear younger. This surgery also significantly improves the overall contour of the body, helping women feel confident about their appearance.
