Restore your confidence with expert plastic and reconstructive surgery by Dr. John Sampson
Breast Lift Surgery in Jackson
Gravity affects us all. If you're a woman whose breasts have gradually sagged over the years, you're not alone. Whether due to age, weight loss, pregnancy, or genetics, many women experience the deflating effects of time on their curves. A breast lift, or mastopexy, can restore the youthful, perky bustline that's critical to an attractive figure.
Dr. John Sampson, a board-certified plastic surgeon, has performed countless breast lift procedures for women in Jackson and surrounding Michigan communities including Ann Arbor and Lansing. His expertise in plastic and reconstructive surgery helps patients look better in their clothes and feel confident about their bodies again.
The reality is that your breasts will continue to migrate toward the floor over time. Why not consider turning the clock back several years and getting a fresh, youthful start? Contact our office today to schedule your consultation with Dr. Sampson.
Michigan Breast Lift Overview
Breast lift surgery is similar to breast reduction but focuses on lifting and reshaping without removing significant tissue. Dr. Sampson most often makes an anchor incision from the areola down to the crease under the breast and outward on both sides.
The Surgical Process
Dr. Sampson removes excess skin, repositions the nipple and areola, and reshapes the breast by bringing down skin from around the nipple and stitching it together for a lifted, youthful appearance.
Combined Procedures
Many Michigan women elect breast lift surgery in combination with breast lift procedures or breast augmentation for added volume and a firm feel.
Alternative Technique
Women with smaller breasts and minimal sagging can sometimes have parallel incisions around the areola (known as a "doughnut" incision) to remove excess skin and tighten the breast position.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes 90 minutes to three and a half hours in our state-of-the-art operating suite.
