About

Over time, the breast tissue, skin envelope, and supportive ligaments naturally stretch due to the effects of gravity, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes. These anatomical shifts can cause your breasts to descend on the chest wall, lose upper-pole fullness, and sit lower than your inframammary fold. The nipples may also point downward or fall below the breast crease, contributing to a deflated or elongated appearance.

A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that aims to reposition the breast mound, elevate the nipple-areolar complex, and tighten the surrounding skin. At Avante Plastic Surgery, your lift is tailored to the degree of ptosis, using precise incisions to reshape the internal breast architecture and restore a firm, naturally youthful contour. The goal is to create balanced, lifted breasts that complement your frame without altering your unique anatomy.

Benefits

A breast lift in Sugar Land with Dr. Ahmadi provides both structural and aesthetic improvements, allowing your breasts to sit higher, feel firmer, and appear more proportionate. Beyond elevation, it refines the shape, corrects nipple position, and restores harmony to your silhouette. Key advantages include:

  • Raising the breast mound to a more youthful position
  • Refining breast shape for a rounder, lifted contour
  • Repositioning downward-pointing or low-set nipples
  • Improving symmetry between the breasts
  • Reducing stretched or excess skin
  • Enhancing upper-pole definition
  • Creating a firmer, more supported breast profile

Procedure

Your breast lift begins with anesthesia to keep you comfortable while Dr. Ahmadi follows a precise surgical blueprint based on your measurements. He makes carefully planned incisions, typically around the areola (periareolar), around the areola with a vertical line down the breast (lollipop), or with an additional incision along the crease (anchor), depending on the amount of lifting and reshaping required. These allow him to access the internal support structures and reshape the breast from within, tightening the fibrous network that creates your natural architecture and elevating the nipple-areolar complex to an anatomically ideal position.

Once the internal breast mound is repositioned, Dr. Ahmadi removes stretched skin, reduces widened areolas if necessary, and re-drapes the remaining skin to form a compact envelope. He closes the deeper layers with supportive sutures to maintain your new contour while minimizing tension on the surface. After confirming symmetry and projection, he closes the incisions, applies dressings, and transitions you into recovery for monitoring.

Candidates

A breast lift in Sugar Land may be right for you if you want to correct sagging, restore shape, and improve breast position after physical or life changes. Candidacy depends on both your aesthetic concerns and medical suitability. You may be an ideal candidate if:

  • You notice sagging breasts that sit lower on your chest
  • You see nipples pointing downward or falling below the breast crease
  • You experience loss of upper-pole fullness after pregnancy or weight changes
  • You feel your breasts look elongated or deflated
  • You have breasts that appear uneven in height or shape
  • You maintain a stable weight and a healthy lifestyle
  • You are in good overall health without uncontrolled medical conditions
  • You are a nonsmoker or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
  • You have realistic expectations and understand the recovery process

Recovery

In the first few days after your breast lift, you can expect swelling, tightness, bruising, and mild discomfort as your tissues adjust to their new position. You’ll wear a surgical or supportive bra to limit movement and reduce strain on your incisions. It’s normal to feel pressure or temporary numbness around the nipples and lower breast as the nerves and skin begin healing. Most patients take several days off work to rest, avoid lifting, and keep arm movements gentle. You’ll return for follow-up visits so Dr. Ahmadi can monitor incision healing and adjust your aftercare as needed. You must clean your incisions, avoid underwire bras, and refrain from strenuous activity for several weeks. Sleeping on your back, staying hydrated, and walking lightly help support circulation and recovery. You’ll gradually reintroduce normal activities as your surgeon clears them.

Results

You’ll notice an immediate lift in your breast position, but your true results develop gradually as swelling decreases and your tissues settle over several weeks. The incision lines soften over time, and your final shape will become more defined in three to six months. With stable weight, your results can last for many years, although natural aging and gravity will continue to affect your breasts at a normal pace.
