Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Pittman performs your mastopexy or breast lift in Athens in order to raise while re-shaping your breasts. Nursing, pregnancy, gravity, and significant weight gains or losses can cause breasts to lose their firmness and shape over time. A breast lift in Athens with Dr. Pittman addresses this sagging and inevitable loss of confidence. Dr. Pittman can also restore enlarged nipple areolar complexes to a smaller size while repositioning them on the breast. Dr. Pittman often performs breast lifts in conjunction with breast augmentation surgery, to give you fuller, more youthful breasts.
Your mastopexy in Athens, Georgia with Dr. Pittman is performed under general anesthesia. Breast lift surgery in Georgia with Dr. Pittman typically takes 2-3 hours at our private, fully accredited surgical facility, offering each patient comfort and convenience, while avoiding a hospital visit and those associated costs. When Dr. Pittman, board certified plastic surgeon and member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, performs a breast lift, he makes incisions around the areola and vertically down the breast. It is sometimes necessary for his incision to extend into the crease beneath the breast. Dr. Pittman removes excess skin before elevating the nipple areolar complex to a more balanced, youthful position on the breast. For the first month after your breast lift surgery in Athens, Dr. Pittman will place restrictions on any strenuous upper-body or exercise activity. For the first several weeks after your mastopexy in Georgia, Dr. Pittman often requires that you wear a supportive bra consistently.
